The Mechanical Philosopher: A Muzzle Brake for My Slavia 631
http://mechanicalphilosopher.blogspot.com/2007/11/muzzle-brake-for-my-slavia-631.html
The musings of a dilettante on parenting, mechanics, philosophy and the background noise that is daily life. From beautiful ruralburbian Philomath, Oregon. Friday, November 02, 2007. A Muzzle Brake for My Slavia 631. I told you I was getting a bit airgun crazy again, didn't I? Five or six years ago I bought a Slavia 631 spring piston. Air rifle at the Rickreal flea market. I only gave $40 for it, as I am a shrewd negotiator. It came with a Simmons scope but no iron sights. Really, it's just too short.

Been a while, but I’ve been busy moving into the new shop. I’m about 90% moved in now. Here are some pictures taken over the past two months. The entire contents of the drawers under my lathe…. This took me all day, to build one shelf unit. Dual monitors for Felice. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Who is Nick Carter?

The musings of a dilettante on parenting, mechanics, philosophy and the background noise that is daily life. From beautiful ruralburbian Philomath, Oregon. Sunday, April 27, 2014. I should mention that I’m updating the blog while using my treadmill desk. In no particular order here are a few things I worked on this month. The stones were raised with sawdust underneath as you see by the gap. I used a bamboo chopstick to make a tool for pushing open the bezel. I decided to try some cork gasket material.

Well I picked one up at a yard sale today. I’d been looking for a cheap but relatively good quality one for a while so that I could play content from my MP3 player or tablet while in the shower. The basic technique is to find the input to the amplifier and graft the auxiliary input to it while disconnecting the other inputs.

Synthrotek Ring Modulator Kit. As you can probably tell I’m getting into music-y/synth-y stuff. So I decided to build a ring modulator. I didn’t have the parts on hand so I impulse bought a kit from Synthrotek. The kit was slightly less expensive on Etsy). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Synthrotek Ring Modulator Kit.

The musings of a dilettante on parenting, mechanics, philosophy and the background noise that is daily life. From beautiful ruralburbian Philomath, Oregon. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. It’s back to school time and Henry needed a protractor and compass for 6th grade. Felice went to K-Mart and bought a Westcott Two Piece Math Tool Set. It was extremely inexpensive. For some reason the K-Mart page has a weird typo. Calling it a “Westcott Clauss Math Set Protractor and Compass”. Without the pencil in place&#...

Heathkit VC-2 Voltage Calibrator. I picked this up at OSU last winter, finally got around to checking it out a bit. I’m not really sure what this is specifically useful for. It outputs a square wave of a settable voltage. I’d love a scan of the manual as I haven’t found one on the internet. Set up on the bench. I set up my Di...

Dollar Store Reading Glasses Are Not Safety Glasses. I am a cautious person (milquetoast) so I thought it would be wise to do a simple test of the shatter resistance of the dollar store reading glasses. On with the science! The dollar store glasses. 10 yards down the length of my deck. First shot dented the lens. As you can se...

Again With The Composting? Our old compost bin exploded this summer (plastic does that) so I was told to make a new one from a garbage can. The best site I’ve found is the Cornell recycling site:. Http:/ compost.css.cornell.edu/. Basically it’s a garbage can, but you add holes (or remove non-holes). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
