Yesterday here a man being killed by 12G buckshot fired at 170 meters distance while boar hunting
Buckshot is not legally allowed here
Shotguns can use slugs and small pellets
Rifles can use soft point rounds only ,no full metal jacket allowed
To prevent accident
Another guy this morning shot itself with his shotgun while jumping an obstacle , same spot the arm ,if was using buckshot his arm could be cut off

The French and Italians are mental where firearm safety is concerned. There’s usually 10-15 people killed or badly injured while hunting . A couple of yrs ago, a guy in an Italian wild boar shooting party shot another member, he got up and shot the other guy dead.

I am not understanding
A guy shot another member (think accidentally)
The guy who being shot killed the other who shot him before

Is it right?

Anyway about the accident happened here few days ago ,I think that probably they said buckshot but was probably an homemade round using big steel balls from bearings .

The guy who being shot killed the other who shot him briefly

Yeap. The guy who got wounded, got up and shot his mate dead. You couldn't make it up.

I go to Poland Shooting, they say the French and Italians are crazy

That's sad to ear
I was reading now ballistics charts about buckshots and they seem to be not letal over 50 meters range on 100kg targets unless hitting critical spots like head heart etc
This pour guy being hit at femoral artery and he bleed until death
170m is the distance they said ,I think that who shot was closer because unless unluckily fatality is practically impossible hit a target at this range in the woods with trees and other obstacles using a shotgun and buckshots .
I thought that the shooter was intended to kill him .

As I said, google it!

I was suffering regular bouts of kidney stones, probably 2 or 3 times a year for 3 years. The NHS couldn't do anything & couldn't find a reason for them forming. I was admitted to hospital twice in agony, all they could do is feed me morphine & wait for the 6mm stone to come out!

That was probably 10 years ago & thankfully I have been stone free since. On one occasion I had some kidney pain so I took some capsules for a few weeks just in case.

I didn't use this stuff, but after suffering the pain of kidney stones for a few years, and following docs advice to drink more and reduce dairy, they stopped altogether Great I thought, no more pain and morphine! Unfortunately, a couple of years ago I got the odd water/kidney infection and a scan revealed a bladder stone - almost the size of a golf ball!! Suffice to say, I did/could not pass this Ended up having a day op to remove it

At least you just had the one, and not "Fore!"

Didn't have much time in the workshop this evening, but I made some brass screws:

Sometimes you're just in the at the wrong place at the wrong time.
As guy accidentally discharged one shot with an M240. Lands a head shot at 3000 meters on a moving target killed him instantly. They said if the poor guy had his side window closed he would have survived.

That’s a nice bit of knurling - deep and crisp and even! And with the chamfer each side

 

[Tupers]

I’ve seen people use evaporust to free off seized vices so I’m trying it out on the 5 stuck pistons in my Daimler block. The sand filled cans are there so I don’t have to use so much fluid as I do t know if it’ll free off too much and run out the bottom.

 

[Dr.Al]

1/4" whitworth tripod screws?

Not even close I'm afraid (although 1/4" whitworth isn't that far off M6 so you did get the scale about right).

That’s a nice bit of knurling - deep and crisp and even! And with the chamfer each side

Knurling was all done in one go (on a long bit of 20 mm brass bar) with a gentle air breeze over the top to blow the swarf away. Chamfer was just done with a file (to save tool changing).

Not even close I'm afraid (although 1/4" whitworth isn't that far off M6 so you did get the scale about right).

Looking again probably not long enough for a tripod more like to fix a leather 'never ready' case.

Go on what are they for then.

The M240 is chambered for 7.62x51 NATO and it has a long barrel similar to a sniper rifle length wise .
Anyway I agree with what you wrote sometimes it's impossible to save yourself from the destiny.
Always keep in mind an episode happened some years ago.
A guy had a lot of accidents in a month ,he survived every one of these.
The month after he lost the control of his (I think was a Pajero) car that has rolled over something like 30 times,he survived this .
Once he got out of the car and went down the hill , his car rolled over another time ,took speed , pointed to him and killed him .
I am of the opinion that this guy had to die .
When God or whoever (I don't know how works for non Christians) call us there is no way to keep staying here .
Since we born it's being written when we have to die .

More kitchen building, nearly done then I can get back in the tractor and a couple of 1930's table saws I'm renovating.

All remaining carcasses fitted, some were a pain as nothing in the kitchen is square and there were pipes from the bore hole to work around especially in this corner.

View attachment 209649

I'm not impressed with the sink, it looks ok and the missus likes the design but the quality is a bit crap and the plumbing non standard. I aim to fit and forget so will replace with something better when we replace the worktops, these are temporary. The temporary worktops and sink will end up in the bar in the barn

The wife wanted a fold down pastry worktop that is lower than a standard worktop so she can knead dough and roll out pastry easier plus easier for the kids to cook as they both enjoy cooking. Here's the prototype, two stainless fold down hinges and its surprisingly rock solid.

View attachment 209647

Once she was happy I built the end of the cabinet out 100mm to allow for a socket either side of the peninsula and added the oak face frame with pocket hole screws.

View attachment 209646

Just the other side of the peninsula to frame, baseboard to make and fit then I'm onto dovetail drawers and doors which I can largely mass produce in the workshop. The ugly fold down table will be hidden behind a pair of doors.

Then it is expensive worktop time. The whole of the kitchen and utility room built from birch ply and quarter sawn oak, some 25 cabinets, is coming in around 5k with fittings, not counting my time. I expect the new sink and worktops will almost match that. Not sure if it will be Corian, granite, quartz or whatever yet, the missus wants to see the finished cabinets before choosing, hence the temporary worktops.

Cheers
Andy

Nice build, I am going to use birch ply to make the main kitchen as i need 700mm deep cabinets and i just like the idea of a kitchen no one else has.

Looking again probably not long enough for a tripod more like to fix a leather 'never ready' case.

Go on what are they for then.

I'm making some screws for my bandsaw with integrated sliding tommy bars. To fit them, the tommy bar will have to be slid back and forth to avoid various bits of vice etc that will get in the way. Once they're tightened, they should only need to turn 1/4 turn or less to loosen them up enough to adjust whatever they're clamping, so the tommy bar won't need to slide. Given that the bandsaw vibrates a fair bit when its cutting, I thought it would be a neat solution to have a little brass knurled screw in the head of the main screw that tightens down on the tommy bar and holds it in place.

I'll hopefully finish the main screws this evening so I'll post some photos in case that doesn't make any sense. The bodies are already done and marked up with the angle that I'd like the tommy bar to sit at when its tightened; just need to cross drill the hole for the tommy bar and add the M6 locking thread for the brass screws.

So I drove the entire morning in the industrial quarters near home with my neighbor, little bit of highway .
Went to the firewood deposit loaded the car and back to home .
Learned to keep the car braked using clutch and throttle while driving uphill (I don't remember how it's called this condition)
Learned also to start moving in the same conditions using the parking brake
All this with the car loaded .
After that I went to the driving school , driving much better and the instructor said me that I can drive but I have to do more practice to get better , next week others 6 driving lesson and the week later I will have to drive in night condition .
After all that I can start thinking about the driving exam .

After that this evening I went to buy some meat and helped a British lady to tell to the butcher what she wanted to buy.
So I got also little bit of English conversation today
Now I have little bit of time to do more but I don't know what to do, I'll probably clean up my tools to relax little bit my mind .
