With Only Minor Injuries<\/i><\/p>\n
Once again I have distinguished myself as the King of All Tools.<\/p>\n
No snickering.<\/p>\n
I screwed down the new boards on my workbench, and then I started thinking about my problems with the wobbly reloading press. I decided to grind a little bit off the front of the bench and set the press a little farther back, so I could put long lag shields through two two-by-sixes and use longer bolts. It seems like it doesn’t flex nearly as much. Now I have to crank out a box of ammunition and see what happens. It would sure be nice if I could worry less about flexing and the problems it causes.<\/p>\n
It’s great having a Wecheer tool permanently mounted on the bench, with an assortment of Dremel bits in a box screwed to the wall. When I got the idea of setting the press back, I tried to use a drill and a rotary rasp, but it was crude, so I popped a sanding drum on the Wecheer and got it done jiffy-quick.<\/p>\n
All the more reason to buy a sliding miter saw. Same basic rationale.<\/p>\n
It turns out my little Panasonic impact driver will turn a 3″ #14 screw into a two-by-six without a pilot hole, no problem.<\/p>\n
Of course, I only know this because it was after the screw went in that I realized I had forgotten to drill the hole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
