optimus Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm happy because i just passed my grade 3 saxaphone with distinction, 97%! Is that an Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Exam? Congrats either way! Weknowpyro - does that mean you can by commercial BP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weknowpyro Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Unfortunately no, the guidelines are becoming even stricter now. Because I am still under 18 and cannot apply for a firearms certificate until then, I will have to use the clubs own guns.However the laws are just ridiculous. I can hold the gun, use primers, load the shot and wadding and fire the weapon but under U.K legislation I am not legally allowed to touch blackpowder without an explosives license.The laws are just ridiculous now, what’s going to do more damage? A person holding 20 grains of blackpowder or a person with a loaded musket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Got a ~5 piece of 4 inch sch. 40 pvc pipe for free. I plan on cutting it into 6 inch pieces for ball mill jars. The only problem I have is end pieces. I believe I heard of a version made out of plywood and using wingnuts to hold it on. If anyone can point me in the right direction for this sort of enclosure please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwezxc12 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Cool...I commercial fished (24 ft. Gill-netter) for reds and silvers in Bristol Bay back in 1993...Egegik and Naknek rivers on two different permits for the same skipper. Interesting to say the least. Did some work down in Homer, too. Also worked in Juneau several times the last three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORM-D in small quantities, Freight Forwarders out of Seattle/Tacoma for large or serious Hazmat. Shipping is a killer for the Alaska pyro's though. Not to mention ORM-D comes by slow boat ( literally ) so a Skylighter order takes 3 weeks at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
