Understood! Thank you.

Those solar panels and their corresponding circuitry would almost definitely be toast after an EMP.

If you have access to a lake / ice then you could keep an awful lot cold for quite a long time. You just have to store enough ice. IMO, this is more of a year 2 concern. Year 1 would be too volatile to risk that kind of exposure, both while cutting ice and while transporting it. In the winter...

You'd see a pretty wild realignment of who looked up to who, that's for sure. Celebrities wouldn't be of interest to anyone. Suddenly the local boys with the cows and diesel tractors sans electronics would be famous. What a wild ride.

There's so many things I'd do to my lady before crying on her at the end of the world, but that's just me.

If vehicles weren't working that would strike me as odd. I'd fire up the dump truck and see what I could find out. Good ol diesel, all mechanical.

I've got a hand pump I bet could be made to work on my well. Also have a lot of natural water near by, would need to be boiled though.

?

I'm going to your house. I'll bring the pure maple syrup.:driving:

Lot of guys wasting fuel on day 1. I'd go back to bed myself. If I did find that something was really wrong later in the day then I'd probably get my cash together and see what I could stock up on, make sure certain people were at my house rather than trying to stay in theirs, Get the guns out...

I don't usually make it to any gun shows. When I've gone the prices have been meh, it is usually crowded, the lines are long. I can get the same stuff online without waiting, and probably cheaper.

You just narrowly missed out on the dildo exchange.

Hi

"No one's ever done this dayquan, it's genius." Of course they drove away in a dodge magnum. LOL

I'm not sure exactly what that is,is it just an electric kiln or is there something different about it? Drew up what I want to try first yesterday, made a wooden mock of it today to see how it felt. Made some adjustments, might still make some more. Seems to fit my hand well though. Should...

Down the rabbit hole we go... wheels for a 2x72 grinder ordered, I should pick up the steel this week. I've always wanted one anyways, might as well build one now that I've got an excuse. I already have a 2hp 3p motor for it.

Close ups of the rust spots on the 586?

357 Revolver is next on my list.

The temperatures vary greatly for different types of steel. You have to follow whatever the specs are for your alloy. I locked down a small kiln yesterday that I can convert to a oven for heat treating. I'm going to pick up a cheap belt Sander / grinder to get started with. It should be a...

That HF bench is junk. I checked one out in store and it was the ricketiest piece of crap I've ever laid eyes on. I sneezed next to it and I swear it almost fell apart. Maybe it wasn't put together properly or something but I was not impressed.

Yote fever

Love the avatar lol. Doing my best to resist the 586. GLWS

What a stupid thing to do.

I agree, we really do. I have heat treated o1 once before, i ended up with small stress cracks everywhere. I don' think i broke my edges enough so the internal stresses were very high. It was a much thicker piece than a knife blade though too. We'll see what happens! Learn by doing haha.

01 needs to be heated to around 1450 and oil quenched. After that it can be tempered at those temps to lower the hardness slightly and remove the brittleness

Hmm... http://nwct.craigslist.org/tls/5874281748

I may send whatever I make out to be great treated. It costs about 10-15 dollars but is a good way to get started and have it done right. I really would like to do it myself though, I just need to figure out how. Or I need to find a cheap little furnace / oven for heat treating if there is such...

I just went ahead and ordered 36" of 1/8" o1 tool steel. Might as well dive right in and see what happens. I figured there is enough for three or four tries there, depending on the size of course. Should be fun!
