bruce thompson Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Heres me thinking of starting to re load my own 10 g shells .. I feel inadequate hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think we all feel a touch inadequate It's not just the skill(s) but the drive to see the job through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think we all feel a touch inadequate It's not just the skill(s) but the drive to see the job through! +1 Wildfowler, have you had the gun proofed yet? I expect that will be yet another fascinating tale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Will you just give it a rest!!!!! Not only do you write possibly the best thread we have ever had on here, You build your own gun/punt/cartridges. We now find out you designed and built your own jet bloody engine!!!!! We members are starting to feel just a tad inadequate Just saying....... Not jealous or ANYTHING!! Sorry! I just can't stand sitting in watching the drivel that frequents the TV, I'd rather be out in the 'man cave' keeping my brain active and learning new things. My parents always brought me up telling me 'there is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it' and I've stuck by that. So far it seems to have turned out ok. The jet engine was tough but stood me in good stead for future projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Are you using an entire 38sp cartridge as a primer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Well done yet again an interesting read, how's the 8 bore plan going. The 8 bore is on hold at the moment as the plans I drew up for my extension got approved last week, so I've got this week off to start building it! So unfortunately no new guns for a while! I have also started on a new project, even bigger than the others, which hopefully I'll be able to post about on here soon! Yep sorry ive just found the video .. iam mazed at the skill of the wildfowler and his tolerant wife mine would have killed me by now . Ive just read all of this thread this morning while the kids watch a dvd . Many thanks for your posts... I'm pleased you've enjoyed the thread! And yes, I'm lucky to have a tolerant wife! +1 Wildfowler, have you had the gun proofed yet? I expect that will be yet another fascinating tale? Not yet as it is too big to proof in the proof house, they will have to come out and do it so I'm waiting to make it worthwhile!

Wildfowler Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Are you using an entire 38sp cartridge as a primer? No just blanks. The smaller cartridges use a 32 blank and the larger a 38 blank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ah you have returned, No problems I hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 No, no problems, but thanks for asking. Whilst this forum has less morons than most, unfortunately, as a lot of you will know, it still has it's fair share and I was finding myself encountering them at an ever increasing frequency, so decided to have a break... Hopefully after a bit of time away, some of them have been ousted! Having said that, I've also been fully absorbed in some other non shooting related projects, and it's the wildfowling season! So I've been out on the foreshore or afloat in the punt every spare waking hour I've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well I, for one, hope you enjoyed your season and your toys enormously. You did all the hard work, you kept all your PW fans entertained for months and months, you deserved a good season. Well done that man.

Penelope Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Welcome back. A few punting tales wouldn't go amiss. Only so much Bratby and Dalgety can be read before it becomes stale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Absolute legend... wish I had half your engineering skills. Hoping to buy a mill to compliment my little lathe but not holding out much hope of a Bridgeport for £100... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
