Beautiful rifles.

Next time you have a really nicely figured piece of wood, you might try using an alcohol based stain before the oil finish. It really makes the grain pop even more.  It's what I use on longrifles.

Definitely proud of playing a small part in the making of my three boys.


More than likely you are looking for things physically made, but I am proud of this anyway.
A friend and I founded a technology startup geared towards leveling the playing field for political candidates at all levels.  An effort to inform voters that there is a better way of voting, rather than voting party line.  
Sadly we were acquired by another political based startup who promptly ran the entire idea into the ground.  The site is no longer even active.  While we did affect some change, we didn't ever get to stretch our legs.  I am still very proud of what we built and that we bothered to make an effort.

I am new here, been lurkin for a while, but figured to share a few of the things I have made over the years....
First is my last mud racer..its a tube chassis 4x4 running a 2000 hp BBC, made for mud dragging...

Next is my 73 chevy pickup(was my shop truck for my shop) did a ground up overhaul on it in 2003, everything was gone thru from top to bottom, including updating everything body/interior wise to look like a 82 model....


Sure have enjoyed building them..hope you enjoy....Mike

The plans would be specific to your area, but it's just pressure treated doug fir framing on piers. The decking is Batu tropical hardwood with Penofin tropical hardwood stain. The railing is a bit tricky, I bought 2" square stainless tubing and fabbed the posts myself. It's a proprietary design but not too difficult for any decent builder to figure out. You can buy the posts pre-cut and drilled but after looking into it there were too many parts for my liking, my way is simpler and cleaner.




The railing sections are Cable Rail System, all stainless, and the cap is Ipe cap material finished with the same stain as the deck.

This is a Draco dragon model kit I built for my brother for Christmas. He loves dragons.

It's about 15 inches tall and painted by hand and airbrush. It's probably my best model work to date.





it started out as a bag of vinyl parts.

Restocked a Ruger 10/22.  Half-round/half octagon barrel, custom brass trigger guard, brass buttplate, back of receiver drilled out for breech cleaning, snabel foreend, relief carving behind cheekpiece and brass patchbox on other side.  Next semester I'll mill the dovetails for the front sight and the ladder rear sight.  Then the barrel will be blued.

It is IED Countermeasure Equipment (ICE)--an IED jammer that was fielded in Iraq.  
It was one of the winners of the US Army's invention of the year in 2004.

Thanks.  There were a LOT of others involved.  It was intense--but not nearly as intense as what our soldiers and Marines experienced.

It's a Raven P25.  The FiL gave it to my wife when she was in college for self defense.  We went out, put 20 rnds through it (which were surprisingly trouble free), and tossed it in the back of the safe.  I went out and bought her a G19 instead.  It's sat for the better part of a decade but don't want to get rid of it on the off chance he asks about it.  It's not really worth the trouble to sell it.  Maybe I'll get me a $200 grocery gift card at a gun buy back some day.....
