    Haven't had anything like that, but have had bad haircuts.  Even at my age, it grows back.  A set of clippers, and my Wife did near as good a haircut as I have had last time around.

    A bad cut I understand cutting a foot will take years to grow back.

  2. I had hair to my middle back I was at harley dealership for another event so decided to get an inch trimmed off. Barber shop has office inside dealership Sat down to allow Patrick to trim. I was in better mood than been I while. He finished I reached for my wallet to pay and he waived me off refusing my paying. I went home to find his inch took over a foot off. Even worse left side was 2 inch longer than right side with another chunk in middle even further up. A 3yo toddler could done better. How would you feel getting that drastic amount of damage make you feel? Seeing he is a licensed barber working for a growing business that just opend another shop. So he is really bad or -as I think it was intentional. I even told his boss had it been my decision he would be unemployed as well as unlicensed. How would you approach this.

    Well, I hope it works. And I hope you get your primers. And I hope you immediately come here and let us know that you got your primers so that if the sale still going on we can get some too.

     

    But

     

    As I was about to plug in my credit card number I noticed that they did not want to know whose name was on the card.

     

    They wanted to know my name and address so they would know where to ship, but they didn't want to know the name and billing address on the card.

     

    I have bought many things online over the years, and I have never seen where they did not want to know whose name was on the card.

     

    That made me quite suspicious, and I backed out of it.

    My banking info is with a PO box. So alot of orders are shipped to different address. I even had hogworkz call me to verify it was not fraud for order I made. When both are same I don't have to fill out as much.

  4. Of all the shows I grew up watching The Rifleman is only one I still care to watch. I still think others are good just not the interest I used to have. How about you are there any you still watch and others not as much?

    I'll consider reversing the bolt direction from the bottom. Might also then not need to drill all the way through the wood I'll laminate underneath the stair tread. Also will be easier to check for and correct loosensing.

     

    I do think through-bolts with fender washers will be stronger than the threaded anchors. I have used those anchors in the past. They are handy.

     

    Yes, the clamps... I have been looking at various clamps, I found some available with 8" and 12" reach, but the opening size is less than 3". Need a minimum of 6-3/4" jaw opening to clear the rail under the table edge. It is basically a dining/kitchen table.

    I had some machinist experience when in high school. These clamps are called deep throat c-clamps. There are more sizes available but may be expensive.

    You guys are making this too hard.  Clamp your mainspring seat in the vise so you can push on it from the side,  install mainspring on strut, line up spring and strut to seat slot, push and pin the assembly.  Easy peasy.

    That was my original attempt that I failed miserably

    You are not the first. You won’t be the last. Now did you have to look under the sofa to find it?

  11. Just replaced factory springs in my 41 mag. Of course after using pure brute stupid force I was able to get new mainspring in pall. Soon after saw video where a dollar store fork used to to assist in compressing the new one. Fore head slap moment occured.
