here is another picture of the PVC pipe after taking it out of
the vise. i think the new tool set up did exactly what i wanted it to,
and now i have another new tool to play with :)
i put a scrap piece of plexi-glass in the pipe because of it's
brown wrapper as it makes it easier to see the cut out. the marker
lines aren't straight, but close to what i'll need on the finished
muzzle brake.
with any luck, i'll be milling out the good piece tomorrow,
cleaning it up and shooting it with some primer, then i'll shoot a few
more pictures and then attach the PVC parts to the shower curtain and
primer the entire barrel.
as my other 2 hard drives are still off i can't post a drawing
of the tank barrel as i'd like as there is another part i am looking to
add to all of this. on the mantle where the barrel comes out, there is
another 2 more levels. as i can't find tubing that small (come to think
of it, i never thought about copper pipe ..... think i'll have a
look the next time i visit home depot to see about pipe for this next
part, but until then...) that i can make into 2 more levels, i found a
coupler for the gray 1.25" (might have been 1.5", i'll have to check)
pvc used for electrical work. it has a slight bit of space between it
and the white plumbing 1" couplers i have used. it gives some free play
for what i am thinking. I am thinking of putting partial taper on the
front end, cut it to the length needed and secure it to the mantle.
now to wait until tomorrow...........
