Poop in a Group!

[LongRifles Inc.]

This is to share where you (the client's) hard earned dollars are going when I take your money!

Picked up a new bench the other day at Sam's Club. It's been a "spendy" month so far but the shop is coming together. (slowly but surely)

Overall not bad. the steel is a little light for commercial use but with a little care I think it'll be fine.

Gotz my new drawers for storing reamers too! I dig em! Felt lined and well finished.

My little shop of horrors is starting to come together!

Enjoy.

Very nice shop.

Geez. Since I'm retired, I was just thinking of going up to Dakota for some Smith OJT.

When I see a shot like that makess me just want to sneak in and "mess it up"
and scatter tools all over. Maybe turn some grand kids loose to spread those tools out propertly.

That's just too neat to be normal.................makes you look.............well it makes you lookprofessional.

What's that saying about a man and his toys

LOL, oh it's he who dies with the most toys wins !..

Nice shop, but I'm a bit smaller scale, all grizzly mill and lathe setup, with a nice Miller Tig unit and O/A welding, I don't do just gunsmithing, I also build flying toys so kind of balance the hobby $$$ between many areas including reloading, newest toy, a Dillon 650, boy I should have done that 20 years ago. Regards.

I just drooled on my key board.

I just dunked my donut in accra-glass.....not too bad tasting but I still refuse to clean my bench, I know where my stuff is at. When it is clean and organized, I cannot find anything.

One good thing I did was create a magnatized floor matt the length and half under the bench, I have saved HOURS and days of searching for detent spings and balls by adding that floor matt. All I did was find a sign shop and bought a rejected magnatized truck sign 4' x 8' for $20, cut the areas I needed to for legs and added a tire tread matt under it for my tired hooves. I did the same thing for my parts take down matt on the bench as well as the drawers in the parts and tool cabinet.

NICE Looking shop there Long Rifles

The OTHER obsession. . .

Pylon racers

Evo GT35 gasser for the biggy and a Jett60 for the little guy.

Sex in a car crash!

Same as the biggy only this one is a reduced compression Moki210 on a pipe running 35% nitro. Piiiiisssssseeeeeddddddd ooooffffff!!

Ive got a couple big gasser 3D planes and am working on a very very nasty USRA Giant scale 40% Kelly F-1 Pylon racer. It's a full composite plane rated to over 40G's. I'm debating on a turbine turbo prop for it. Either that or I'm going to just build a two stroke motor from scratch and run it on nitro.

Mwwwwwaaahaaaaaaaaa

I'll volunteer my 5 rugrats, they could make that look like a bomb went off in about 20 minutes.

That really is a nice setup you've got.
From what I've seen you make some very nice rifles as well.

Ya know, when I got back in to shooting. I realized real quick that it was just as bad as hot rods.
Oh, by the way. That is not a shop, thats just short of heaven.

 

[LongRifles Inc.]

Hot rods. . .

. . .the "other" hobby/money pit/obsession/reason to go broke. . .


The "little yeller feller". My 04 GTO.

Blown, nitroused, LS1 with anger issues. . .

[CRUE CAB]

Niiiiice.

I'd say you need some kids to get you more down to earth, but I'm afraid you'd post a pic of six kids in your beach house on Maui.

 

[LongRifles Inc.]

/\ Funny!

That'd be a big negative on the chilrins.

I had a girlfriend with two little verminz once. Kids and I were great together. Ever seen an 11 year old run a CNC mill? Gotta love child labor!

What you guys didn't see was 12 years ago when I was jobless/homeless, living on the charity of a friend. My "castle" consisted of an army cot in a garage corner with a kerosene heater and my tool box.

Divorces are expensive. Know why? Cause they are WORTH IT

Boy we have some toys don't we !..

I think allot of our type of people in this world just love working with our hands and enjoy the great satisfaction and joy that comes with doing it yourself. I will show a few of my toy pics also, who knows we may get another formum topic growing lol !....the Toy forum ?

With my Metal machines I have tinkered in a bunch of area's, custom 1911's, and various bits and pieces, now reloading, created a small bunch of my own parts versus buying the whole thing from the supplier. Currently building my own version of a motorized case trimmer, this after 1k of LC 308 brass by hand, enough already, I'm going to build a new mousetrap ha !

Enjoy and keep having safe fun !..

One more toy picture for my last post

Metal working machines open up all types of creativity in hobby people, you can build almost anything if you want. Plus you learn allot while doing it, most of my family friends just stop and stare when entering my shop for the first time, then I walk them into my other two shops and my computer repair/home office shop lol. I need a bigger shop lol...

Yes, I'm a pilot and do plan on flying this Bipe one day if my health holds out.

Used to do the RC stuff also, fixed wing patern birds, and helicopters. but things got out of hand lol !..That's kind of why I started building the Pitts
Special S1S from plans. My engine also.
