That thing is bangin'. And in a you-need-ear-protection way.
Really impressive work there, Epps. If it's operable by the MG shoot, just one more reason to attend!

epps1919, Watching your progress is so much fun! You have skills and equipment many of us can only dream of.
Can't wait to see that mortar in action!

I am just marvelling at the size of his lathe.
epps, is this your hobby shop or do you run a machine shop for a living ?

Its a hobby I do HAVAC for a living. I paid a lot of attention in shop class.
It certainly shows.
I am planning a house right now. My wife already asked what that huge area labeled 'shop' in the back of the detached garage/carriage-house is supposed to be for.....
Now I just need to find a justification to run 3-phase power to the garage
Made up some Ammo. Beer cans cut in half and filled with concrete. Made a temporary bed for test firing. I'm going to make a bed that looks like an original bed later on. Used 2x6'' for the bed and set the angle at 45 deg. like the original.

Here is the test fire video. started with 100gr of 1f Goex and it went 50yrds 200gr and it went 100yrds, 400gr and it went out of site, 500grs was the proof test and I think it went to the next county. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdFFwsy8IAs&feature=youtu.be
