Good Monday Morning! This past week went by fast for us. As a consequence we did not get as much done as we would have liked. In the United States this week is Thanksgiving, which shortens the work week from 5 days to about 3, (Except those working in Retail. Been there done that, sorry guys).
We’ll be posting a few articles this week. We went to the shooting range to sight in the Pawn Shop 30-06 Mauser. Some exciting results there, so look for an article on that this week.
In the meantime here’s what we published over the past week.
Along with the theme of the Pawn Shop 30-06 we are taking another scrap Mauser Action and turning it into something of a scout rifle. This is along the lines of Jeff Cooper’s vision of the ideal rifle. Compact, lightweight, and capable of taking game up to 1,000lbs.
Junk Mauser to 308 Scout Rifle: Introduction
This next project is a complete departure from the theme of the site. However I thought it was too cool of a project not to write about. This is something I am doing for work. We have been using an eBee drone for all of our aerial surveying needs at the mine, but due to the high operating cost we are looking at a self built option. I’ll be doing all the Research, Construction and testing of this new bird. If you’re interested here’s the introduction article.
Photogrammetry Drone: Introduction
We have continued to make progress on the 3D Printer. The frame is all but complete, and we’re moving on to building the Y and Z Axis drive train. The frame is probably the most involved subassembly of this build. To see the detailed write up, check out the link below.
As you can tell I have several irons in the fire, working on a few different projects. This keeps me busy, as I wait for parts to arrive for other projects. Hopefully there is a little something for everyone.
As always, if you have any comments, questions or suggestions feel free to comment, shoot me an email (jayandrew338@gmail.com) or check us out on Facebook. Thanks for subscribing!
