Most awesome, thanks Ken. I’ll be calling in the waiver tomorrow (Thursday). Given the current forecast and the shortened daylight hours, flyers should get there early to take advantage of this opportunity to launch.

Ed, I can do it.

Ken,No volunteers yet. The trailer is still at my house. Can you tow from there and return to Pierce?

Has anyone volunteered for towing yet? If not, I will be happy to do it.

What time would I need to arrive to be useful for range setup?

Back on topic:Go for launch on Saturday, December 4th. Clear to partly cloudy skies, temps in the 40’s. Help requested. Hope to see you out on the range.

you can make a fixture with casters to hold the tube and then a fence setup so that the tube does not walk from the blade. You just raise the blade into the tube and with a little pressure to…   Read more»

OK. I’ve cut a lot of 3, 4 and 6″ tubes using my 10″ chop saw. What is the best way to cut an 11″ tube? I’m thinking about the table saw and abrasive blade with some kind of jig…   Read more»

I use a cheap ($59.00) tile saw with a diamond blade ($20.00) both from Harbor Freight. Works well wet, as I do not like FG dust.I do have a large disk sander to square the edges.I know someone who uses…   Read more»

I use a 10″ miter saw with an abrasive blade and connect the shop vac to the back of the saw for dust collection.

Just a bit small huh?

Same here, I use a 10″ miter saw for most of what I do.

Mines 12″ Buddy! 8)

Who did this? They should have a little more respect for the people they live around, at lest give them a count downI bet he did. And, I’m sure after that, his neighbors learned to “duck and cover.” BTW,…   Read more»
