    So what are you making? Looks like maybe standoffs for a safe?
    Looks like it, then again I'm on the second season of Breaking Bad so who knows :)
    I just ordered some thick Kydex for attempts at making the "Egg Roll" mag carriers, "Kytex" has their version but the egg roll seems more refined.
    Not sure if this is an open thread for random projects OP, at first I thought this was the wrong place for the thread but when I go to the depot I often see things I could make .... got me into reloading.

    I posted links to pics of my intended project and stated the fact parts were just ordered and due to arrive Sat. I'm not sure what you want me to post pics of given those details.





    Good luck with your thread.

    Found an awesome log and since I didn't have a chop saw my buddy Jason cut it into coasters for my deck. I'll stain and shellack it tonight!

    I made this Quail feeder from left over pvc I had lying around....they usually waste 1/2 their food in a regular feeder...saw this online...the waste goes down to 10% because they have to put their heads into it so they can't scatter it all over. Oh...I am starting to raise quail as a hobby / meat and egg source and they are a game bird that you shoot soooo.........

    I love the box. No worries with that plastic and heat lamp?

    Up next at the casa is another LED shop light in the garage, a retractable 30 foot extension cord in the garage next to one of the garage doors. I'd like to build a shed in the back yard that is big enough for a snow blower, riding mower and other yard stuff, but that will be a vacation project.

    I need to get the reloading room framed and drywalled, so that way I can put up my HK posters, the Challenge poster, and the 2A sign.

    Thanks, been learning as I go. Spent most of today making a new front mount and then working both sides to match and fit to the ring.

    I think the next step will be making another gauge mount that will reach out to the fairing sides as well. Hoping to have it back on the road by Sunday.
