Hi Mike, You are correct, It is a game that we play. In this particular game the Founding Fathers of Williamsport were a few friends shooting for absolute fun. It was decided that 10 shots were proof positive that a certain level of extreme accuracy was achieved. Anything less and there was...

This topic has been discussed many times before. Not many of the IBS shooters have responded so far, however I can pretty much sum up a good answer for you. Precision target shooting is not easy. It has and always will be a test of equipment and the skill of the marksman. If 10 shots are...

Hi JohnD, Below is a link to a set of 5 videos that will answer your question. The insert shown costs $12.00. It has three precision ground threading cutters. It can be resharpened with a simple wet stone. No grinding involved. I made the videos just for guys like you. One really nice...

The Iowa club is finished. We had a great time for 8 years. The club produced several National Champions with multiple championships. More than a few records. Hosted two National Championships. Is home to the only known Iowa Bean Squirrel. Operated for 8 years without a single shooting...

Hi Darren, I tried that one also. Nodak7mm knows he's driving me nuts with this so, I'm just letting him have his fun, Until I get him on the firing line.

Hi Kenny, I always teach a new guy to only use one number, so he doesn't get confused. Each lathe works differently. On my lathe I can engage the half nut on any line on my dial. On some lathes if you are cutting an even numbered thread, you can use any even number on the dial. Every lathe...

By the way guys, Nodak7mm is a very close friend of mine and right now he's busting me on WTB. I'm still trying to figure out what those three letters mean. I guessed Want To Be but he says it's not right. I'm guessing those long North Dakota nights are getting to him. Bob

Hi Woodbutcher, Until a guy actually uses the oil and sees just how it stays on the threads, it's sort of hard to believe. I'm glad your happy with the product. Just wait until you try it for tapping. Bob

Thanks Jerry, I'll try to edit it later tonight. I really do apprecitate your insight. Bob

Hi Jerry, For god's sake I just made a very small mistake in not explaining that most times you have to adjust the compound and then reset the cross slide back to zero again. I didn't try to make any kind of deception. The process did and does work. There isn't anything that difficult in the...

Hi Jerry, No smoke and mirrors were used during the filming of that video. It just worked out that I did not have to reset the cross feed dial on that set up. The reason was because I had just finished threading that piece and wanted to show how to re aquire the thread once the piece is...

Chad, A puddle of brazing rod. What a time saver, instead of pressing a brass rod into a drilled hole, and it won't deform as easily. I hope someone is writing these ideas down. This is the kind of stuff that makes this forum so good.

Justin, What a brilliant idea!!!!! Who would have thunk? Brass acorn nuts. Bob

Hi Jim, Here is a video link for re aquiring a thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfwdsBYJN34 Just incase you want to make a spider that threads into your outboard spindle, check to see if it's a left hand thread. Since most lathe work is turning forward or towards you, usually the...

Hi Al, A couple of weeks ago you asked me about the HSS tooling I was using. Here is the link for the video I just made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feh0yv__540 I hope this helps. Bob

Hi Nat, You are the perfect example of the old saying that "There are several ways to skin a cat". Your power flushing system is the way to go, but most of us newbies don't have that kind of set up. We only do a few barrels a year. Plus at my age I have to do things slowly, because I forget...

Hi Nat, The attached link will show you just how nicely it works. The video is in two parts. If you have any questions at all, just ask. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyWfj_DSFkk

Hi Nat, The Vipers Venom cutting oil has been specially formulated without the use of any additives like STP. I requested a high sulfur content and I wanted it not to get runny as it absorbs heat from the cutting tool. The company chemists formulated it with regards to my requests. I use to...
