My buddy has a vintage horizontal/vertical bandsaw that needs a new blade for metal cutting. Problem is, it is near impossible to find 5/8” x 118” bimetal blades as nearly everything in that length is for butcher meat/bone cutting. Most likely the blade would need to be custom made. Preferably...

I have just a smudge over $1000 in the cart so if anyone have 20% (or even better) that I could use it’d be much appreciated!

Just curious how can I view my saved favorites? Edit: never mind found the tiny icon on the bottom left corner of screen but it appears the stuff I had in my cart has disappeared again!

Nothing is wrong. Firearms can work a lot of stuff loose if they are not tight. Sights are something that must fit really good or else the recoil can move them around and that affects your accuracy / point of impact. As mentioned before, it is much easier to control larger hammers with short...

Good reminder. I actually was using Trusty Cook dead blow ball pein hammers so it goes to show how tight some sights can be! I actually looked at this model with the shorter handle: https://www.trustycook.com/product/43-oz-ball-peen-flat-dead-blow-model-tc43bp-new-product/ But in my case it...

I misspoke. Yes bronze hammers still will dimple but not as bad as brass hammers is what I meant.

I believe you’re correct which is why I am looking at bronze hammers. I don’t want dimples in hammers. Much easier to grind off mushroomed brass punches.

20 oz actually is too light. Some sights can be really tight fittings. I tried 24 oz steel ball pein before and it took significantly more strikes than using my 32 oz steel ball pein. Not to mention the less strikes I can make the less chance of marring the finish. To me more weight and shorter...

Yes they would be except they are fairly expensive and doesn’t fit/work on some of firearms.

Never heard of Lixie, so I just looked them up. Very nice hammers at more reasonable prices, thank you! USA made to boost! I’m a novice gunsmith and am looking for semi-drilling style bronze hammer for drifting sights with brass punches. No, I don’t need two pounds plus hammer for that but it’s...

I completely agree with you; however, the drainage issue will be addressed at another time. I honestly was only planning to quickly fill 4” of void with a few inches of gravel immediately after I remove the bad sections of concrete at the end of approach and be done with it for now. But my...

I have a concrete project I am planning to replace in the near future. I have an existing 30’ wide x 27’ deep concrete approach slab in front of my garage. I went ahead and removed some sections at the end of approach that were severely damaged due to several reasons: irregular thickness...
