Nice work on the cylinder and heads Zee. The rhyming can use a little work though :)  Fortunately, we aren't a poetry forum...preferring (so it seems) cookies, scottish produce, curry dishes, chicken livers, and the occasional bit of metalworking  :stir:

That's 'stinking hoppie'. A 'hopping stinkie' is when I run out of vodka and  :rant:

Have you ever had a "stomping hickie"?  :LittleDevil: :ROFL:

Still the critic eh? I thought it went okay with Howdy Doody.  ;D

For you Jo... :wine1: :wine1:

Chris...what's that you're yelling? I can't hear you.

Paul...not going there.  ;D

Chris mentioned 'hippie' on his thread. Nah. Although my kids continue to accuse me of having been one.
Although, I had the Frye boots, CPO jacket, bell-bottoms, read Mother Earth News, and eventually grew facial hair.
I mean can you imagine? A hippie in southwest Missouri?  :lolb:

Some more for Jo... :wine1: :wine1:

Well, the Howdy Doody tune does help it a bit...and yes I do remember it!

That's it!!!
Thanks Paul.
It's been driving the family nuts for the last couple of days.
We kept thinking there was another similar tune to Howdy Doody but couldn't remember.
(I've been driving them crazy humming.)

But please...not Barney...nooooooooooo.

Barney ate them.

A little known fact about Barney...he plays with his food.

A lot of them are in small retirement complexes just outside of Palm Springs and quite a few in rehab and several pushing up daisies  8) I was wondering,  with this being the last season of the Downtown,  are you anticipating any more shop time after the finally?  Perhaps when it ends I'll be able to employ a proper footman  8)

If you're talking to me  ;D ... no.
Keep in mind it's part of T and me time. So it will be replaced.

What I have to be careful of...is that it's not replaced with a movie or two hour episode thingie.

Don't tell her...what I often do is use that time to cruise the forum.  :naughty:

Cletus...who says I want to be cured?  ;D
Marv...as you will see...I'm not entirely opposed to making my own tools.
Don...quality time! Yes. And I managed a little tonight...

I realized the other night that I don't have a die holder for the 1/2-40. It's 1 1/2" diameter and my die holder takes 13/16 or 1". So I sacrificed the spare stock I had in case a cylinder went bad (which could still happen)...



I still need to drill/thread the holes for the die holders, drill the hole for the, for the, hm...rod that goes in the side to help turn the die, and I want to knurl the body.
I haven't checked if my knurler will go to that size. If it doesn't, so be it.

The body probably needn't be that large, but why spend the time turning it down further?

Geesh. I've never had so many splinters in past projects as I've had on this one.

Had to steal T's tweezers.
Got caught.
Stole them again.
Got caught.
So now it's a choice between a splinter and T's wrath.
