Post pictures of something you have made!

[Gun Mechanic]

I made this back in the 80's when I worked at a fab shop (Irvington-Moore). You who work in industry will know what a "G-job" is.

The blade is 4140 annealed that was heat-treated by the machine shop foreman. The wood is ironwood that is used for chain conveyor carry ways.

The idea I had was to create a big knife that was still usable for cutting, whittling, etc. hence the deep belly close to the hilt. The second section is flat and can be used for cutting veggies, the third edge is the point which is sharp on both sides. All three edges have different angles. This thing is so massive and tough that you could hammer it into a tree and use it as a step!

That said, I never use it or carry it.

Next is a DPM and VZ 58

I seriously like my VZ 58 ! makes the AK look a bit clunky ? I also like my PSL and a Mosin I tricked out. I like both rounds. Good idea to have backups for specified ammo on hand !

I make sharp things.

That's beautiful, Ben! Very professional looking, too!

I sew stuff. Mostly tactical stuff. I can make better quality gear for about 1/4 the cost, not counting my time but I enjoy doing it and it's exactly the way I want it to my specs. I use only milspec webbing, fabric and thread. I'm still learning but I use all my gear and it's never failed me......yet

Folding shooting mat with built in bi-pod rail




Cobra tactical belt


Ear Muff Pad


I also reverse engineered and made this extended bolt knob using only the picture on the left and Solidworks.




My latest project is this .30 cal. suppressor I designed and am about to build after my form 1 comes back.

Very nice work indeed. I do not have a mat and likely never will. Great for the range , but the range is NOT a real life situation and that is all I care about, is real life situations and training for such. Mental, physical and hands on in every matter. So if I wanted you to make me something would you ? And where are you located

Thank you. I've never made anything for anyone. What did you have in mind? If I'm not up for the challenge, I know of another guy on here who does commectial grade sewing who might be up for it. Feel free to msg me.

I have run into some off the wall stuff occasionally and I do not have the equipment or ability/experience ? Many times in leather or heavy fabrics. Custom sized covers or scabbords and needed a sock for a PSL a while back out of canvas or heavy nylon ? I am also into trading goods and services as well. Thanks, good to know you are available and capable and other here as well. Don't need anything right now, but i know that will change !

What's bigger water? Lol. I don't know dick about boats. What would a boat like that cost?

Ya, good eye! First sea trial, easier to go to the lake, no traffic in the winter and less clean up for a short trip.
