>The funny thing about them is that they are very cheaply built, not very accurate at all, but will still work almost no matter what you do to them. One of my sons has one, and one time, we put almost 8,000 rounds through it without even a cleaning. (cheap ammo;-)) I don't like the thing, and it looks like it is made of recycled Coors cans, but it does sorta work.

>One more trick...turn your ziplock baggie inside out before you drop in your magnet and start collecting iron. That way, when you are done, turn the baggie right side out and then pull of the magnet, leaving all of the filings on the inside of a sealed baggie (or is it baggy?)
Robert
P.S. Save the filings and use them to make a stain (iron oxide once allowed to set in vinager) for a very special project, should you have a very special plane (like the one from my late father). Sort of looks like ebonized wood.

>I had some sheets too. I think from norton but they never lasted as long as 120 and below did.
I was talking to my supplier and was told that it's just the nature of the abrasive it can't be made smaller. though maybe they were talking about belts as thats what we were talking about.

Or get Loose SC Grit or Clover SC Lapping Compound on MDF or a Steel Plate.

You may need that ammo when the bad guys come to see what the big bang was(jeeez,these non-infantry types,Gotta remind them of EVERYTHING.);^)

If you keep your burst down to 5 or 10 shots no need to fill the water jacket on this 08/15 Maxim and it is plenty accurate. The dog is my Fila Brasilero , Ton Ton Macout and is only 9 months old in this photo and that is why she was so small....Todd

Mainely,Bob-Who will probably have nitemares about "ice nine" now.
Re: Boco Marrou?
Dan Donaldson
>Not sure about the dog's name, but I sure would not try to go anywhere near Todd's shop without Todd if that is his shop dog. I have a friend from Brazil and down there, they call that type of dog a term that translates to something like "garbage collector" because they will eat anything, including unnattended small children (or even bigger ones);-)
They are also the only dog I know of where at a dog show, the Judges are specifically warned not to touch the dog if they want to keep their arms and hands.
Also, some of them are so much "one person" dogs, that if something happens to their master, the dog has to be put down.
I cannot totally vouch for the veracity of all of these, but one of my boys is into dogs big time, and I read several of the articles about the Brazilaro. The ultimate rendition of the old "junk yard dog".

>Interesting link, but I would have thought that the silicone would have been a no-no. Have you had any problems with finishes after using a plane flattened using this stuff?

>The breed standards state that if a judge can touch the dog it is disqualified as it shouldn't stand for a stranger to aproach it. Was the only dog breed bred specificaly for hunting people as they were used to track and catch escaped slaves and indians in S. America and were devoloped from the fighting war dogs brought in by the Spaniads in the 1500's. My dogs name Ton Ton Macout is from the Haitian voodo police of that name who under Papa and Baby doc used these dogs.My dog came out S.America from a person that supplied dogs to the Macouts....TonTon was all you could ever want in a dog and more and was one of those rare things that you see in life where what you have is the best there is....Todd
