Yeah. A friend asked if I was still happy with my Griz 4003G lathe, and I said, more happy
the more I use it. He was asking for a friend looking for something in that range. I
recommended it. Mine cost $3400, and he said they went up. I checked and the
same lathe is up over $4000 a bit, about 18% increase. Really glad I got it when
I did.
I really enjoy seeing the stuff you are making, Ian., almost as much as I enjoy my
own little projects, too.
Made a 0.055 pin, .325 long yesterday for a 1877 Colt that I am trying to get back working. Heat treated
4140. Had to first make a punch to get out the broken stub from the hand. Need to make
a screw for the front of the ejector housing. Need to have a friend build up an end of
the cylinder lock, too short. Probably a used one, not broken can't be the original.
That is the first Colt double action revolver, and a stranger and more mickey mouse design
would be dificult to imagine. Cyl lock works on the back face of the cylinder.
