I'm back! Which doesn't really matter... I don't have any spud gun projects going at the minute (well... I do have some unfinished old projects...) but yeah, I'm alive, and loving the new look of SF!

Thanks jrrdw!
Really? I feel loved
I've got a lathe now so I might have to make it a little machining project... It is really tempting, even just make a mini one...
Oh great now you've got me started :rolleyes:

I recommend taking a look at this, great little machining project to hone your skills and you get a nice little pen gun at the end of it

I followed that from start to finish when it was being built! It really is great, I think I might have to try something like that even if it's only something really simple! I have designs somewhere for a little co-ax penguin that should be really quick to make with limited materials, in fact I think I've already made parts for it!jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:I recommend taking a look at this, great little machining project to hone your skills and you get a nice little pen gun at the end of it
I'm working on an ABS co-ax shoulder fired rocket launcher (will only be used at about 50-60psi though). I've already machined a piston and barrel retainers etc, just need a small QEV to pilot it and it should hopefully work! It'll be my first large co-axial project!

I may also be alive, although I haven't got a large enough sample group to be sure.
Fairly certain the old girl still works though - got her out again today, only to find the projectile didn't want to stop at three milk cartons and a large lump of tree, but had disappeared a good foot back and half foot down into the ground under the concrete backstop.

Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

As it happens, I don't get told I look like Prince Harry much any more. Might be something with my girlishly long locks these days. :tongue5:
And as far as any such notification e-mail, I actually didn't get one - Hotmail rearranged itself sometime back (disabling multiple log-in) and a couple of my e-mail addresses thus died on me and stopped redirecting things; I had to reactivate the account I used in order to convince Spudfiles to give me a new password.
Anyway, I'm here. Not got many launchy type projects on the go - I might try and sort out the problems I had with HEAL-and-a-half at some point and would eventually like to work on the coilgun project I had in mind years ago, but given the way I remember things advancing in previous years, I guess both of those are probably a bit "old hat" by now.

I was wondering what had happened to you Rag!
You went from "Harry" to "Hairy" huh?
Not that different..
I raise my glass, tilt my head, smile and say:
Welcome back!
All of you sharp-shooters!
A reunion indeed!

In short: shapeshifting aliens, an anti-gravity Renault Espace, a living shadow held captive in an ammo box, cannibalistic nobility, a herculean preacher, being measured for a very expensive dress and several missing crates of explosives (which were mostly found when they went off).Brian the brain wrote:I was wondering what had happened to you Rag!
I wish. I visibly tense in the video above.All of you sharp-shooters!
Although, in fairness, the projectile was fair heavier than anything I'd previously fired or that HEAL had been designed to fire*, so I didn't actually know what was about to happen. Well, I'd done the maths, but a number on paper only says so much.
(*In hindsight, I probably should have trusted myself more - I went with that straight-backed design at least partly for its recoil characteristics).
