          Ok you climb up the ladder and hold the sheet in place and I'll nail it off from down here.

          Right after we finish our beers.Mr T

            How come you get to drink beer and I can't have any...(allergic)

            Since I can't drink you hold the sheet.. Enough beer and you won't mind I'm sure..

            Trust me... ROAR!!!

            that sheet behind the tool has already been "tapped" regularly, I see.

            I never knew THAT was how they made peg board!!!

            Must be a bicth to get toward the end of a stack of sheetes and misplace one shot and have to start over.

            Is that what is meant by gun control!!??(this is not a political statement DO NOT start a "disscussion")Mr T

            The bumper sticker on my truck says, "GUN CONTROL means using Both hands".

            Gee, can I get that for a finish nailer too?

          6. MisterT | Sep 27, 2003 11:47pm | #16

            Reminds me of Popeye, when he goes up to the pile of lumber, fills his mouth with nails and gives the pile a mammoth right cross.

            All the pieces of lumber fall into position as he spits out the nails like a machine gun, fastening them in place.

            I think the hardest part of that must be hitting that lumberpile just right.Mr T

            You'd think that, but I've found that the hardest part is getting all the nails in my mouth facing the same way.

          I knew there had to be a better way to nail the fascia on the barge rafter...

            This is gonna make those Kevlar gloves real popular!

            Reminds me of working with my old friend Dick.  We liked to parody Kurt Gowdy and Don Meredith:

            I'll stay here while YOU go and wrestle the wild alligator!

            We'd use that line every time one of us just didn't want to do a particular part of the work...

            It's great when you have someone to work with who's particular aversions are a little different than your own!Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a carpenter to build one.

    OK, I gotta know the story behind this pic.  Are there Milwaukee models available?

      Suppose BOSCH could sub out to SIG and we could handle the 60d's and larger for timber and log structures with a litle less effort?

      "OK, I gotta know the story behind this pic."

      I really know nothing about it - Just stumbled onto it and thought I'd post it here. I brake for hallucinations.

      1. ikor | Oct 02, 2003 02:24pm | #25

        Don't know exactly who built it, but I have seen it "in person". It's a registered SBR (barrel is under 16in.) but otherwise a pretty standard AR15 decked out with furniture by Cavalry Arms http://www.cavalryarms.com/furniture.html and there is a cleverly fitted low capacity (not certain if 5 or 10rd.) magazine inside the battery body. Since they build "furniture" for these rifles in red and blue as well as Yellow, I would think that Milwaukee and maybe Makita models could be done. Ha!

        And yes, it actually functions and feeds with the "battery" loaded and in place.

        1. Wet_Head | Oct 02, 2003 06:04pm | #26

          Too cool.  I MUST have one for my new business.

    The colors are just dreadful. Now if it was RED, and came in full auto, with high capacity clips and laser sights, I would buy one for the potting shed.

        You got the part about the potting shed!  Glad to see you're paying attention.
