What are you doing right now??

Overhauling a twin cylinder Briggs engine
That's some fun stuff. I did that in HS shop. Learned a lot. Learned to weld there and use the lathe there, too. Somehow I doubt kids get shop like anymore. When I was 18, I was able to completely strip down my 250 Kawasaki flat tracker, take the engine in for repair (too advanced for me and didn't have the tools), have the bike re-painted, and put the puzzle back together again. And NO leftover parts! Oh, yeah...it ran fine, too.
 
Just came in from chainsaw duty. Cut up two small, downed trees. Hot and sunny. Then finished up due to wind, thunder, pouring rain and hail. Extreme changes in this part of the country.
 
Working on a meusoc clone I ordered a Bar-Sto barrel like the original guns, I painted my personal inventory number on the grips, new trigger, new extreme engineering ignition set coming and finally a new one piece checkered arched mag well with lanyard loop. Also have number stamps coming to stamp the parts with the last four of the serial number.
So I just finished hand stamping the last four of the serial number on the parts it was not easy and came out a little funky I just eyeballed it didn't measure the way I would normally do my work I felt it would be more authentic to free hand it but to be honest I kinda like it the way it is besides I can't take it back.
It's gonna be a beater pistol anyway so not going to lose any sleep over it.
