what about heat treating/tempering?
I have a torch set but need oxygen and acetylene. Maybe have a gas charge to cover my tank fills.
We can even test fire in the back yard.
Fair enough.
Anyone have bending jigs they can bring?
I guess standard MDS rules. 50+ posts and decent standing by the party. I have enough tools that with a few experienced builders(I ain't one) we can spread out and get quite a few people and builds done with time for food and beer (beer after,instead of test firing etc) It sounds like we might have a few presses and drill presses which will be great so we can keep them set up for different functions. I guess I have to get off my ass and clean out and finish wiring my barn. Of course this is the only way I get anything done around here anyway.
Arighty, 12-ton HF press, barrel press tools, rivet jig, rivet locator jig, trigger guard rivet jig, and drill press will be in my trunk. Figure a second press can only help expedite, or be set up for riveting while the other is for bending, etc.
Just a reminder to please bring your own bits for the drill press. Just a craftsman benchtop, not a floorstanding model.
I have the big honking drill press and 20 ton HF press and 6hp compressor so we can set things up and run a production line.
I have a HF table top drill press I can bring. What size/type bits should I get?
The ones that make AK pin and rivet size holes.
I'll be sure to ask the guy at Home Depot for those
