What are you doing right now??

Okay. So I just started closing up the house for bedtime. I look out the bedroom window and see three kids (between 12 and 15yrs old) shooting hoops in their driveway. In shorts and windbreakers. At 28 degrees. Now I gotta say, those are Minnesota kids. Canadian kids play street hockey in the road and have to move every time a car comes. Hmmm…the road or our driveway :unsure:.
I digress…heading to bed but I had to share that thing that went off in my head. Nite all!😎

We used to play street hockey when I was a kid. I think that's a "northern" thing.

Played hockey on the back pond as a kid as soon as I was old enough to shovel for my brother 😬😁🕺

i have many of those
4 fasteners are sort of caged by other items, so its one at a time with a wrench
i was reminded just how much i miss helicopters and working blind on nuts and bolts
relying on the mental image from a picture i took moments before
these 12 are lifetime and not supposed to work loose, but being a 1988... they moved a bit :ROFLMAO:
 
Doing the checkering on a front strap for the first attempt.
I did it on a RIA .22 mag I wanted some practice it's a camp gun that I'll let others in my group with my supervision of course.
My hands got tired so I'll have to finish tomorrow the hardest part is under the trigger guard the rest pretty easy it is 20 lpi pretty aggressive but I like it!

Are you doing that by hand with a file? Do you have a milling machine? I'd be interested in the process. Looks really good.

Thank you for your indulgence,

As far as process it's just using a guide on one side to get first lines straight once you establish those it's just moving the file over one or two lines and keep going to all lines are done.
Here are a few pics during and shows a few stages of the steps.
I'll send pics tomorrow of the files I'm in the house for the night.

That looks like a tedious but relaxing and rewarding project. Nice.

I made a few mistakes in my process but was able to recover pretty well but that's why it was a practice piece that I'm having nitride finish done on.
I've been on a nitride finish kick as of late really like it a lot.
I am having one slide blued at the moment will send pics hopefully by next week.
Speaking of finishes I'm planning on doing some old school charcoal bluing soon !!
