Project HW97. Custom work by Don Blocksidge and Shaun Hill
I decided make my favourite air rifle into a project. So I refurbished the stock with a high gloss tru oil finish and sent the body away for a custom shroud, catch and reblue courtesy of Shaun Hill of ISP airguns fame and of course it has been engraved by the master - Don Blocksidge. A thing of beauty in my eyes and something that will stay with me forever,

Target practice with the Nick Gibney 22mm HW97 at 62 yards.
Переглядів 7 тис.6 років тому
Just a quick session with the 22mm gun. Using JSB Exacts 8.44 grain. The rifle is nicely zero'd and is fitted with a Mamba Lite - my preferred scope. I have it set at 12 mag for the 62 yard targets.
Nick Gibney 22mm conversion for Weihrauch HW97
Переглядів 45 тис.6 років тому
This is the 22mm kit from Nick gibney for the HW97. It shoots really sweet as you can see from this video which shows the installation of the kit and the initial shots. I will be checking the power and finalising my thoughts on accuracy and consistency once the gun has bedded in but first impressions are very good.
Make your electric plane into a JOINTER - THE EASY WAY!
Переглядів 213 тис.6 років тому
I made a cradle for my electric plane to sit in and mounted a top that was perfectly level with the bed of the plane. A simple fence at a perfect 90 degrees makes for a very effective jointer. Refinements still to come on this device are a stop and start switch, a guard for the cutters and maybe some finger boards for holding the work. A nice cheap and easy solution to the problem.
Avoid end grain break out. End grain paring technique - THE EASY WAY

Re Finishing an Oilstone - make your tools razor sharp!
Переглядів 40 тис.6 років тому
I bought an old oilstone which had a fairly large amount of wear on the top side. The centre of the stone was worn down and it dipped in quite a lot. this video shows the process of how to re dress the stone so it is perfectly flat so that you can sharpen your flat edge tools such as chisels etc perfectly.

Переглядів 7 тис.7 років тому
Improvement on the chalk stick target that I built. This one hads 4 pipe for chalk stick and the target holes are drilled at 12, 10, 8 and 6mm for a more challenging selection of targets. Again I have attached a couple of Micahs excellent stainless steel spinners to the sides. This is a fantastic target! I have had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with it and plan on many more !
Paul Chell - preparation and re blacking service
Переглядів 3,5 тис.7 років тому
I dropped my LGU off with Paul for him to prepare it for re blacking. He stripped the gun, made a superb job of the preparation for blacking, got it blacked and then re assembled the gun. Superb service! The results have to be seen to be believed..

My 22mm gun developed a fault. Tony has been very keen to work with me in order to rectify any problems. In fact he even went an bought an HC with the shorter barrel to test his tune on in order to allow for the shorter barrel. Exemplary service.

    I know its 5 years since your video, I have used a similar method but using 'Elbow Grease' de-greaser sprayed on the paper as a lapping lubricant. This deals with any old oil and crud as it arises in the lapping progress. Even better soak it in de-greaser for a day or two before you start lapping to soften up the ground in dirt. Lapping with silicon carbide grits on a granite plate is much faster. btw. If you want some flat granite plates for lapping try your local ornamental stonemason [memorial/gravestone maker], To them, any offcuts or slightly damaged stones are useless scrap and I have had several great ones for free.... always worth a try. My best score to-date was a 3' x 2'6" x 3" rose granite plate that is flat to within a thou with an incorrect inscription on the bottom side - an expensive error on his part .. but a very useful tool in the workshop ! ...... Hope this helps someone ;<)

Those people knew how to flatten great big stones a that was a ways down the road ! The way you are doing it fine too ! Also if my stone seems clogged up A soak in gasoline or some other light and cheap solvent works for me ! cheerio
