Just a slow saturday night

[Double D]

Nothing much going on to night so I went out and finished up inletting  friend Colin's Golf ball mortar.



I have been working on it off and on and have a good start.



I need to inlet it so the barrel is at 45 degrees and have a little ways to go.



Paint the barrel with a magic marker, tap the barrel a few times with a rawhide mallet and the high spots show right up.



Cut the black spots out with a chisel.



Two hours later, sucess.



Good night it's bed time for the old guy!

Not beech, White oak, no wait you're Beech, the carriage is white oak

No the basement is my lair, I worked out in the shop.  Plenty warm out in the shop as long as the wind doesn't come up and the temperature stays about zero.

 

Whats you going to do or make out of the plug where the vent is to be?

That plug is the vent...socket head screw with with a 3/16 hole drilled through it
