@IcyTundra I replied to your comment on the last thread. I don't want to be the butt of Wednesday's jokes by trying to copy and paste stuff from there to here.

 

The original owners are in their 90's, so you can extrapolate from there. The garage/shop is a barn, with a small shed that was originally for goats.

There's 8 acres of woods, so it'll just be chickens. No time nor inclination for anything else. His business comes first, until I get back into a decent paying job and get him a CNC machine for Christmas. Then program it for him.


Oh jeez - yes sounds like just chickens is the best bet, but room for a lot more. A great set-up. (Keep the fences high though if you're backed up to 8 acres of woods... just sayin... )

Your dad must be a woodworker if you are looking of a CNC machine for him. All in all looks like he has a great overall layout.

What does he build?

 

Oh goodness - I'm usually the butt of "how the heck do you do something" jokes - but somehow figured out how to copy your message and put it in here. Yay!
So see above I think?

 

Sight adjustment tools for old military surplus rifles. The old ones, that you have to beat on the front sight with a hammer and punch to adjust. His slip over the barrel and sight base to stabilize it, and use a set screw to gradually adjust incrementally. And are reversible, so if you go 1/128" too far, you just turn it around and nudge it back. Ships about 10/day, and has a exclusive contract with a distributor for a certain model that orders 500 about every 3-4 months.

CNC is for metal or wood equally.

 

Wow. That is an oddly specific thing to manufacture! And definitely not where I thought "get dad CNC" was heading.

I was guessing drawers or custom doors.

What an interesting thing to customize. Do you work with him or is that something he has just specialized in over the years and you are helping him with? I'm assuming old muskets and bayonets but realize that what is "old" to me is not old to others

I'm the farmhand labor (but not really). I only moved here to give him a hand with all the small stuff, and have a place to chill and recuperate after having surgery on my eye. Then COVID happened and I couldn't even get in to see a Dr.

He bought an old mid-1900's Russian milsurp rifle for like $20 and fixed it up. Got miffed at how he couldn't quite get the sights adjusted perfect, built the first prototype, and nailed a perfect bullseye on a rifle older than he was. Had a lightbulb moment and joined an internet forum and made a couple for a few friends he made on there. 1 or two every month turned into 20. I started doing traveling millwright work with a per diem so had a stupid amount of extra money one Christmas and asked him what he needed to really make it easier.

We haven't discussed it in the 10 years since, but I'll bet he cried a little when I sent him the tracking numbers for his new bandsaw and mill 30 minutes later.

 

I gotta stfu for a few minutes. Don't wanna time out this $4.50 HIT.

 

Sounds like your dad has the best "farmhand" ever.

What an incredible story about 1900's millwright work and sights in such a niche market.

I hope your eye has healed and that you have fully recuperated and been able to see a doctor. I know how challenging that can be.

I DO hope when you get your dad his CNC that you'll take a little video. (But seriously you bought him a bandsaw?! That's epic.)

 

Well good morning

 

Hasn't healed (or rather, it has, and won't stop, which is the whole entire issue with cavernous hemangioma). Getting worse. I need a CT and surgery, but no one is taking new patients.

 

im still awake and watching a friend stream and debating staying up and sleeping around noon...
granted it would be nice if there were some damned hits to catch

 

I am so sorry to hear that.

I have a blood disorder and an autoimmune disorder - so a 2-fer

Who do you need to get to to get your CT ordered? It sounds like you are crossing specialists and they are not working together.

Would the CT be ordered by the ophthalmologist or your previous surgeon?

 

What are they streaming?

 

Dead By Daylight since the new killer/expansion is Pyramid Head/Silent Hill

 

Well, just googled and watched some streams and think it is possible I may never sleep again.

Normally not affected by blood and gore - but the serial killers are so, so scary.

Also I probably would have died in about 10 second of this game. I didn't even get to the expansion!
