Shit, somebody hold my root beer. About to get positively medieval in here.

That's what I wrote in response to oneshot86 when he said making this was "elementary".
As you can see from the final product, I was pretty damn close to the method Sir used.
I'm pretty sure I don't have a problem with him, to use a basketball term, game recognizes game.
While I don't do as much of that stuff these days, I know what I'm talking about. If Sir had quoted that part with the shop rates you typically find around here, I'm guessing that's $120 or more because a good estimator always pads the time and materials a bit to cover their ass when something goes wrong. In lower cost areas it might be less but not too much. A lot of shops wouldn't touch that job with a 10' pole because they are looking for gigs to last them months instead of hours.
If anyone should have a beef with me it's oneshot86 because I called him out for being a fool.
But it was labia face that called me out with some flagpole shit.
As for where I've been, I've been busy reloading.
That's where it usually starts...
Cheers,
Sirhr

That dude could weld a dick onto a snowman without ever setting down his Natty Light.
You're just playing with Maser's emotions, aren't you?
So since it's 30 degrees cooler in the workshop at Schloss Nitrocellulose than it is in on the grounds... I went rummaging through my pile of junk

Came up with a nice 3 x 3 piece of 1/8" wall thickness stainless steel tube... Had some welding scars on one side... but that's the side I'll cut off! 1/8th would be too light, IMHO for aluminum. But in SS, this will be more than strong enough. 1/4" wall Stainless would be a barbell!

Nice to have a big water-cooled bandsaw! 8" slab... no problem. True the end first, then cut a bar.
Cut the shape out with the plasma cutter and left some extra to remove on the mill. Sorry, no pictures of plasma cutting. Just stare at the sun for a couple of moments and you'll get the idea. Sucked that I was wearing shorts today (did I mention it's hot out and I had not planned to be in the shop? Shop now smells like burning hair.) Then on to the mill....

Carbide bit made short work of the SS edges, not even any coolant needed. Note the machinist jacks used for fixturing. When the pieces were removed, the edges actually 'sprang' out a lot. Lots of stress in that DOM welded stuff. Put it on arbor press and pushed everything back into shape. Then Zip zip! Finish the edges with a DynaFile and a flap wheel to get things nice and rounded so noone will get cut on edges.

Finished part.... After a quick bead blasting and wire-brushing to get it a nice uniform finish. Had to do a bit of bending as I mentioned above, but it's nice and straight. I was a bit worried about whether it would be rugged enough to hold those big, heavy, tough USO optics. They can be a load, you know! So I decided to do a USO test on it...
![]()
In the spirit of U.S. Optics... I parked my Jeep on it. It survived fine, not even a mark. Not on the part or the Jeep.

Finished Fleshlight... er... spotting scope mount with some USO porn in the background.
@Strykervet ... part boxed up and will go out Priority Mail tomorrow! You'll have it by the end of the week, if the 4th does not mess up the mail too bad.
Post some pictures of your finished mount, amigo!
Cheers,
Sirhr
I am indeed in school at our Maritime Training Center for welding. It's been a bit of a grind.
Nice pun, SirHr. Most won't get it though.
Better rattle-can your tripod before the tragically tacticool are all over you.[/QUOTE
Oh no, that's the ultimate in tacticool --when you're so cool and your fuck it attitude comes full circle and you combine nice shit with a $25 Walmart tripod. Or wear sandals with your 5.11 pants.
y’all have some funny looking grass and trees up there
