Spoils of war!!

Got bored at work and started cleaning. Anybody need some 25mm casings or 50 cal? lol I plan on cleaning up the 25mm casings and trimming them down into shot glasses/tumblers. The 50 cal casings I want to turn into a chess set. Weekend project while I am laid up from my procedure tomorrow.http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g284/Dragonsworn_2006/IMG_20141022_170037_722_zpsa7739abf.jpg

I love the shot glass idea! Those would be awesome!

Can't wait to see the chess pcs too!

Good luck tomorrow!!!

[jamesneuen]

Thanks ST. kind wondering how to get rid of all the gunk and stuff in the primer pocket for the shot glasses. pop it out and spot weld a filler?

[Sniper-T]

Got a TIG welder?

I assume you are going to tumble them to clean them... maybe a fine walnut media will clean them out and you can leave them in?

CHESS! I love chess!

[bacpacker]

Yep, me to.

[Sniper-T]

I wonder if we could get a chess touney started here... those interested sign up... round robin play, playoffs... etc.

Thoughts?

[bacpacker]

Been a long time since I played, but I'm game.

[Sniper-T]

Any updates to the progress?

[jamesneuen]

[Sniper-T]

grab one of these:

or simply an angle grinder with a cut-off disc.

I have to go with Sniper-T here, I use a angle grinder and a dremel myself when I make bottle openers out of the 50 cal's.



As a side note. . . Sniper T, was perusing your mining pics and found one somewhat interesting. . .this is your pic.. .

Looks like we have some of the same secret squirrel play spots!

Good eye Stormy, and I love the first one of yours, I wish I had me one of them (the gun, that is ;) )

But I have to say that I am confused as all shit... My mining photos? Where did you find them? I have nothing like that in my photobucket, nor do I even have a 'mining' folder.

The only thing I can think of is you were perusing my company's web pages and found some links to project locations or future projects...

[Stormfeather]

Ahh... I used the photobucket link you posted and was looking thru those photos, whosever photobucket account that is, the mining pics are open to public view, my bad, thought it was your personal photobucket.

Ahhhhhh, notice how the intell gathering team is hard at work here? I find it ironic that someone's been playing in someone else's sandbox. He, he, he..........Great work Stormy.

[Sniper-T]

lol. for generic posting, I just search photobucket and grab whatever...

my own pics I link to BUT All my photo bucket files and folders are secure!

Yep, that damn photographic memory had me spotting that mountaintop almost immediately! Now that I know it wasnt Sniper-T, I am going to have to backtrack that album and find out what that dude was doing in my sooper seacrit shooting spot!

Thats one of my "Ma Bell" reach out and touch someone toys, HH-6 loves shooting it for some damn reason, she gets the same maniacal giggle when she touches it off!

[Brownwater Riverrat 13]

Now, just my roll of quarters but that's Black Rock point Nevada say maybe north west of Reno right? Not to far from my brothers. Funny though, you get more range time out there than they do and they live out there.............mind set. Now let's talk about your OPSEC. Posting pictures of your "House Mouse" well at least I'll recognize ya'll when you roll up I guess. So who's taller, that smoke pole or the little lady?:rolleyes:
