Looks pretty slick Savageman, I like it! Now time to make that hopper bigger and make a track to dump the hot brass under the bench into a huge bucket lol
how did I know you would go there. Lol I stand with a gun in my hand, gonna take a lot more than a few pints... 2 dollars to touch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feKbhuZIeBk
Thanks Shepp. I was laughing at the JB weld option because even with a $30k lathe we may have to JB weld a porous crater anyway lol. Not really but its a crap shoot until you actually get it down to the finish thread. I wish I kept the pics of what Ive seen so far.
You laugh Shepp, These bolt handles are known to be very porous inside. Ive broken into craters big enough to easily stick a pencil tip in. But Ed's will be solid through and through........
$25 I'll thread that bolt handle for you, if you cover shipping. I made a jig a while back and have been doing them in the haas lathe for guys at the lgs. I usuall charge them $75 though.
