I have considered making holsters and I have thought about the dummy guns. The upside to them is all of the channels are made for you including the mounted light if you wish. I thought about how I would address the cost. Obviously I would buy the Glock form for me because i love Glock. But...

I forgot who told me this (Ed or John Doyle) but when I get to 220 grit I slow my grinder to small wheel speeds. It makes the A/O belts last much longer. I have pretty much decided to stick with the Sankyos from the new POP's people. At $2 a belt I am happy. 60-120-220 I like me some...

I have their 12 ton H frame. It does what I need it to do and the dies are very easy to make yourself. I have found slotting the dies makes it much quicker to change dies just be sure to tighten the drawing dies so they do not move on you.

Wow, glad I got the tank as well I was not thinking it would make two weeks. I am planning to make a super insulated house for it hopefully it will last longer. I can see myself and my son freezing grapes and stuff playing at first, that is funny.
