Im putting the new toy to good use. This is a AR15 mag speed loader being born. The 15 round version is the biggest that will fit on my printer bed. I also made a couple of logos last night while testing my setup parameters.

My snowblower crapped out after the last storm, figured out it was a spring on a tensioner pulley decided to leave. And a bolt on the auger shaft did the same.
So for the cost of an hour of my time and a new bolt, the machine is back in service. A relief since I thought I was gonna have to drop a bunch of money on a new one.

These 3D printer things are pretty neat. Always wanted one of these little 12 gauge round stacker-slide-the-box-over it stand thingys but never saw one in a store. Too bad they print SO DAMNED SLOW !!! That little thing took 8 hours if I remember right.

Ugh, so from moving house to house to house, I had my reloading equipment and some magazines in a open tote(bought the wrong top) sitting on the floor in my parents basement.
Grabbed the tote yesterday and was going through it to get my reloading bench going.
Some steel magazines have some nasty rust on them and my dillon has some corrosion showing on some areas too.

Frig.

I had to make a winch set up to roll the 17' 28" dia fir logs. The 4' peavey just didn't give me the oomph to roll the big logs.
I welded a seat belt winch to a 4' 1 1/4" steel rod and it goes into one of the square tubing log holders hole and I can roll big logs quite easily now.
Even the rolling from a square side is a breeze. Some logs are 20 foot long so I am thankful for this new tool.
I will take a picture when I do some sawing again.

Just making sure it clears the decking...
