awful expensive way of splitting logs with black powder at about 25 bucks a pound,
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - f350ca - 11-01-2014
May be expensive but still cheap entertainment.
All I can say is a big charge Steve, better too much than too little, especially from an entertainment point of view.
When they built the hydro electric dam at Mountain chute the head pond flooded the town of Black Donald, (was a graphite mine till Whitefish Lake decided to break trough and flooded the mine) anyway the church had to be tore down. They got Vince Kennelly, (the local dynamite expert) to set off a charge in the building to loosen the nails, he used a whole case, (wouldn't be surprised it was planned) (it was a catholic church, he was united). I was a kid at the time but remember the carnage, don't think there was a piece of wood big enough to make a tooth pick out of.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - dallen - 11-06-2014
So people don't think I've hidden it in the closet here's an update photo. My wood working skills lack a lot but I'm slowly getting something that may resemble a butt stock on it.

David,
What are you doing to it? I assume it's the butt end of the rifle you're working on.

that's a reproduction of and 1885 Winchester steel butt plate that has to be let into the end of the stock, this photo shows the work in progress. all the bits of blue have to be shaved off same as if I was scrapping a mill table to make it flat, only this is to remove wood until I get 100 percent contact around the outer edge of the plate. I'll have to post up another photo which will show the really fun part of doing this for someone that doesn't really have wood carving skills.
![[Image: butt-plate-1.jpg]](http://s1222.photobucket.com/user/Superdave257/media/butt-plate-1.jpg.html)
I'm going to stick a couple more photos on here, the first one is the part that's really fun to get inlet into the wood as it wraps up over the top of the stock but has to be level with the wood when all the fats cut away.

Second shows one side where you can see a gap which has to disappear the steel plate won't pull down and close it up.

Looks like you're doing a nice job so far.

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - awemawson - 11-08-2014
Would it perhaps have been burnt in like a hot horse shoe originally ?

could of been but don't know for sure. it was more likely done the way that I'm doing it, just that they would of been a heck of a lot faster at it then I am.
Here's a photo with it cleaned up some

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - awemawson - 11-08-2014
Get it red hot, pop it on to form the recess, tickle the wood with a sand blaster to remove the carbon, while you are there clean the butt piece as well. Job done and you can go out and shoot people :)
