Been a tinkerin fool. What you working on?

[knockonit]

finally got the jeep crawler running, had to take it to a shop, the factory alarm went wackie and had to have it removed, boy what a deal that was, runs like it oughta, now to hopefully get new top and upper doors, and it goes up for sale. My crawling days are over, if only i didn't have someone hold my beer whilst i broke something major it would continue, but am too old to crawl out from under it on repairs, i can get there but need a life saving rope to get me out. yeehaw, sure miss the offroading

I needed some scope caps, but didn't want flip ups. Just something to protect during transport and storage. Couldn't find anything that I liked - so I just 3d modeled some up and printed them.

Printed out of TPU which is a flexible filament that has similar qualities to rubber. Worked great.

I need to finish my other gun related project - I am building a range cart with interchangeable shelves to hold different firearms / accessories (IE - black powders stuff, rifles, small handguns, large handguns, archery, etc.) I really dislike what I see on the market (they all look like baby strollers or are made of fabric/poles) and want something modular and that takes up less space and has more usage options. I have printed a few different "modules" - now just need to fab the cart.

Automotive wise I have a customer's really cool little Datsun 510 with a rather large list of issues. Was put together some time ago with a modern drivetrain and never really sorted Has driveline, steering, electrical, and drivability issues. Will be getting A/C as well while I have it. If there is one thing I have learned over the years - if you leave an industry (in my case, hot-rods and customs) people will always find you and pay you to do it anyways.

Tuned up my 6 inch S&W 686-2 action went from 14.5 pound double action to 6.2 pounds with a single action pull under 2 pounds... I also tightened the cylinder lock up and stretched and aligned the yoke back to shooting better than new... I also smoothed up my 642 while I was at it...

I purchased an used S&W 6904 that came from Tel Aviv. Already ordered a few parts, but not super confident in tuning it. That said, going to see if I can find some YT vids showing how to tune the action on this gun and go from there. I figure as long as I don't mess with the sear, and don't remove too many fractions of a mm of metal on other parts, shouldn't have an issue.

Disassembled my okuma reel spinning reel. Scrubbed it clean. Then oiled, greased it and reassembled it.

Since I wanted some wall art for my office - I made a case for my super high end pistol. Inspired by the cases you would get with Colt Navy revolvers and the such. Turned out pretty good for about ~30 bucks.

Only the best for the Yeet Cannon.
