  3. I am very, very sad.

    There are idiots that will blame the guns used in this horrific crime but the guns were just a tool. What it all comes down to is this is about a severely disturbed person that was allowed access to the guns (a violation of EXISTING, under enforced, laws BTW) and most likely not allowed access to proper mental health care. There will always be crazy people, and there will always be senseless violence. That is, sadly, part of life. The attacker in China used a knife. are we going to ban knives? Let's focus on getting proper treatment for the mentally ill in our Nation.

    I am not going to do the inner barrel hollow at first though. Thats going to be a huge paint to cast hollw, but once i figure out a good way to do it, i probably will.

    what about using small diameter PVC tubing for the barrel. I actually used the PVC tube from a set of window blinds...but there are some really small diameter plumbing tubes as well...

    a sterling is not 1.25 inches. ( thanks lou for making it clear that your pipe is the outer diameter of 1.5 with a rating of 1.25 see his post below. )

     

    that is WAY too small.

     

    the electrical conduit I use from lowes, is exactly the correct dimensions you can get for a PVC pipe.

     

    if you needed to make it exact then you'd have to use metal pipe.

     

    don't fall into the trap of too small.

     

    the 38mm pipe that I use has a thick wall, and the internal bolt is the only element that would need to be

    made smaller in diameter if you're using sterling cast parts. and if you made the pvc thinner by sanding it, or on a lathe, then you

    would be able to bend the pipe in your hands.

    in the photo above we have lowes electrical conduit.

    I was just going to say that. Use the 38mm electrical conduit. that will work best...

    Sorry for the late reply, havn´t been in this thread for a long time.

     

     

    It all comes down to the machines you have access to. I assume most people in the hobby only have hand tools, or some machines from Harbour Freight (or something that way).

     

    So most (if not all) don´t have a flood cooling to use the proper indexable tips. Without that you are left with HSS tools, and to make heavy cuts without cooling and getting blue c-chips ..... you need a more rigid machine than the usual "Grizzly" and what else it is named.

     

    In my basement i only have such small machines, too. They are rather small (Mill 130 Kg, Lathe just over 200Kg), but used much more than the others cause i can stay in the warm house in all weathers. ;)

     

     

     

    I wouldn´t want to abuse them with heavy stainless work. A small piece here and there, yes - but nothing big.

     

     

    In the garage i have bigger old industrial machines (i like that, just as others buy and work on old cars), they are not so often used as the above cause the garage is not heatet - but they are much more rigid (yet still under 1 ton class). Nonetheless i don´t wan´t the mess from a massive flood cooling in my garage, i prefer that used with machines in a cabin where the mess stays inside.

    I decided for myself that if i need stainless work done, i have it done in a machine shop.

     

    But for sure, the last thing i want to do is working on a stainless piece of unknown alloy with handtools and a harbour freight drillpress. Even if it would be given to me for free, there are easier ways to get a job done. :)

    OMG, that is my DREAM workspace. I simply can not afford even a "Small" lathe like yours, to say nothing of the milling machine. I am SOOOOO jealous...

    Andy,

    Would you be willing to sell these in kit form as well as a fully finished version? I enjoy the process of building these kind of things, and I am handy with tools. You could include the flat metal plate with a template for the holes and such, cylinder components (tubes, caps nuts, screws etc,), resistors/ capacitors, and any other little parts on the full version. I would buy a couple of those, as I am quite sure I can not afford the whole shebang right now...

  25. DLT-19 Build, Still Waiting and

    So just heard I may be getting a brown box in the mail soon so best finish this build, hate leaving things half done.

     

    So bit more sanding, few more details and now primer. Going to be 34degC here today so paint will dry pretty quick so no doubt silver should be on before the end of the day. happy-moments-smiley-emoticon.gif

     

    See it's 34 degrees F here, so no painting for me...
