  1. 6' is not required, 52" should be fine. I made a handy measuring stick.
  2. When I get good documentation and history of the piece, my price is going up. I bet there are some Civil War reenactors that would like to carry a the real thing.
  3. Sure glad I didn't get started yet, it was frosty this morning. I'm ready when the ground is, new raised bed and cucumber frame built this week.
  4. I found documentation that a serial number close to this one was issued to a soldier in the Missouri Cavalry. They have records and I am going to dig into it to see if I can increase the value.
  5. Update, I got 2 good offers from resellers for $300. I guess that is the value: what people will pay. As soon as I can safely go to the Lakewood (hahahaha) post office, I will send it out.
  6. You can get a job as a CNC operator to see if you like that type of work. If you are any good, the employer will pay for the course.
  7. Thanks. It looks the same from the other side. I would keep it just to have but rather someone more into this have it.
  8. I know all about this field from many directions and you have a good idea. 6 years ago, operators made 20 per hour, set up guys 40 and programmers 60. I bought a Mori Seki for $260,000 and worth every penny. Yes, I can Solidworks my ass off and run a 3D printer for hahas. PM me anytime.
  9. Hello Brothers, Are there any knowledgeable Civil War revolver guys here? I dug out an old revolver and think it is worth more than a paperweight. I looked online and this is what I could easily find: Model M1854 E. LeFaucheux 12mm pinfire revolver. Marked: INVR BREVETE & several stamped inspector marks on barrel & frame Seems to be a US Cavalry model with finger rest type trigger guard & original varnished grips, 2 notches. This manufacturer shipped serial numbers 25067 thru 36900 between Sept 1861 to June 1862 to the Union Army. This is s/n 34859. Also seen online was 34376 (sold $1,260), 35943 (sold $725). This definitely looks like an original, not reproduction. The metal has a old patina. It is missing the ejector rod. The loading gate opens fine, hammer & trigger works and the cylinder spins. Any idea of the value? If anybody is interested, I will reactivate a premium membership and offer it for sale the right way. Thanks all for your consideration and hope someone can add to what I know or think about this great old piece.
  10. 12 hours but partially shaded. The grass in the area grows great and after 1 the shade is gone until sunset.
  11. I would like to get ahead of this by months and consider a home garden. What grows well in 75% sun with plenty of water?
  12. I saw 3 Bolt Bus southbound on GSP at 12:00 today in a convoy. Their website says they are closed, these may have been on charter, getting out of Dodge.
  13. If I lived in that cesspool and had another house, would have left 3 weeks ago.
  14. Working from home extra hard. I almost took a day off! I have tons of projects but no day time. Hanging out in the shop at night, built a 8' brake for bending flashing to do a light gauge sheet metal project. Drinking beer of course.
  15. Thank you for the news. I feel better already. I'm going to call and let her know it is on the way.
  16. I bought two thirty round magazines this week- one had PBR and the other Miller Lite. Also a 12 round magazine loaded with Yuengling. I already have 12 round mags with Molsen in my bunker.
  17. Best 5 minutes of the week so far!
  18. Their shipping is high every day but I order them for work every day. Very good vendor. They won't over charge.
  19. No, I know there is no tax on growth. It's one of the few.
  20. The thing about ROTH is that it sounds too good to be true. No tax on growth? I will take that everyday. No other investment has that. Yes, I am fully funded every year.
  21. I just have to say THANK YOU to all the funny MFs that make my day seeing these things.
  22. Thin gloves for shooting, thick ones for standing around. I shoot winter trap at CJ and its fine to 20 degrees. Hope the clays are fragile in the cold! Some ammo sounds different during a long cold week in my truck box but hey, whatever. We have been to Red Wings 4x this year already, nothing better than walking the course in 50 degree weather. I like global warming if it lets me shoot more.
  23. check out www.ammogarand.com This guy is the real deal, I have met him.
  24. Nothing wrong with shooting trap in the winter
