On another post I outlined the entire renovation of a 50 year old Maine Camper truck cap and then taking it on a 10,000 mile cross country , two month long trip. Along the way various “Parking Lot” modifications were made to tweak the usability of the camper. But there was one major modification that
Well, It’s done! Here’s the intro to this story. Over the years I’ve had four pickup truck campers. Two hard side and two soft side. My first “Soft Side” was really a “Soft Everything”! COX Campers made a small pop-up that fit in mini pickup trucks. Just like this but no chassis and wheels etc.
Recently I decided to move from a toy hauler camping trailer to a small pickup truck camper. I purchased a 50 year old “Maine Camper” truck cap type camper and build an entire interior for it. You can read all about that on this web site. I spend the winters in the desert Southwest, where

This is my third gas powered Garden Tractor to Electric motor conversion. You can read all about the Toro and John Deere 214 conversions on this web page. http://rvbprecision.com/machine-tools-welding/garden-tractor-to-electric-conversion-john-deere-214.html The John Deere 214 was a great success. Fantastic power, long battery life and just a joy to use around my property. But I wanted to
PROPER 17HMR BORE GUIDE!
When Hornady developed the 17HMR rimfire cartridge, they really hit a home-run! And the rifle manufacturers turned out a plethora of rifles to chamber it.
But unlike the 22RF cartridge, which many seasoned shooters will tell you, might never need to have the bore scrubbed, the 17HMR with its “real” copper jacketed bullet and its extreme velocity, needs bore cleaning often.
The problem is, no one makes a “proper” bore guide for this type of rifle. Most 17HMR rifles are nothing more than 22RFM rifles with a 17cal barrel. And many of these 22RF rifles have one issue when you try to use a standard bore guide that protects the delicate chamber edge and the bottle neck area of the chamber. A fixed ejector is in the way.
This little “shark fin” is right in line with the chamber and is fixed. It doesn’t move out of the way. Therefore the bore guide you might use for your centerfire rifles will not pass by and work in this rifle.
Recently the group that oversees the “WILD BUNCH” shooting competition over at the “Single Action Shooting Society” modified the rules on 1911 magazine modifications and now allow a leather magazine pad on the bottom of our 1911 magazines. These can be bought a Mernickle Holsters and they are beautiful…https://www.mernickleholsters.com/ And you can even have your
This is a quick article on my journey of converting my John Deere 316 Kohler from very noisy Rag Joints to much improved Universal Joints. First, what IS a Rag Joint? The early JD Tractors and other brands used Rag Joints to transfer the power from the engine to the transmission. One at each end
A while ago I read an article or two and a few reviews on two, relatively new additions to the HiFi playbook. Single driver FULL RANGE loudspeakers and no cabinet/box speakers called OPEN BAFFLE. I had recently bought a pair of KEF LS50 Metas that totally blew me away with sound quality. Very few speakers
This is just a place to post some measurement of various loudspeakers as a reference for others: (All measurements with UMIK-1 Calibrated microphone at 1 meter… Lenovo Laptop Headphone Output…Akitika Amplifier ) More to follow as time allows….
