What's on your bench?

Shouldn't the battery be strapped down somehow to prevent that from happening?

The battery was in a plastic box that cracked a whole side out. I put eye hooks down in the floor and strapped it down with a ratchet strap this time.

Who remembers the Kawasaki KBH 35A trimmer that didn't turn up wot? It has just been resolved, I have never had such a case The equipment was on my shelf for a year and I don't know how long it was with the owner who threw it away

While I'm waiting for the paint to cure on the Clinton 424 project, I decided to give this Dayton 2Z462A (Poulan 306A) a good cleaning.

Someone put in a Chinese ignition coil / I put in Walbro Japan and it works fine although the coil is from a smaller and newer Kawasaki TJ 27

The Dayton is ready for the display.

I installed a steel handlebar because someone welded the aluminum one crookedly, the bracket is also better because it has rubber. I still have a high bracket with a husky, but first I will test it as it is

This is what wasn’t on my bench. Searched 3 days for it. Figured it’d show up soon as I ordered another, so I did. 3 more days later heard a jingle when the compressor started and here it lies.

That's like a fundamental law of nature. Remind me to show you my vast collection of needle nose pliers.

I was 100% confident it'd be the first thing I saw soon as I ordered another nonreturnable replacement. Figured I could cancel before it shipped. Took 3 more days.

I just ordered a case splitter to ensure that could split the case with a torch and a hammer.

My father had that exact same compressor for decades. Finally gave up on it when it developed a hole in the tank.

They chug along forever and you can get em cheap. All the parts are easy to find except the tank.

Threw a cute little Windsor bar on the 242xp. Converted the tip to .325 and rolled a chain up for it.

I think it fits it nicely. I haven’t seen a single 2 series pop up around me.

From what I read they are nice to work on

Doing load development for my .308, 168 grain Sierra Match King, Varget powder. Best results so far are at 45.1 grains.

I have a 142, I might take a sharpe and convert it to a 242

W1, W2, and W3 for the 357 builds. I’m sure there is a thread somewhere discussing any differences. All measure 0.029” squish without a base gasket. From a quick glance the lowers look slightly different

Something I need to get doing as well. Switched powders and need to get a new load developed with the new powder. R26 became hard to get and very pricey.

I'm a Berger bullet fan.

Lead free projectiles. I've visited with Steve in the past. Never did try any of there bullets though.

Cutting edge out of PA makes a good all copper bullet.

PVA also makes some nice solid copper bullets as well.
