Greetings to one and all
« on: November 12, 2013, 10:56:32 PM »
Just became a member here on this board. Why 42rocker?? Because that\'s the name I go by on several different boards.
Trying to start up a Thursday night Gatling gun build group of 3 folks. My self and two retired tool and die makers. I sure hope that they lead the way on this or it\'s going to be a blind person leading the pack.
Plans -- well the RG-G plans were mailed to me on 12/18/2007. So they have a little dust. I have noted the plan updates that are listed on this board. Thanks for those. One of the other fellows also has a set.
Tools -- well one of the other fellows is \"\"retired\"\" but has an almost full tool shop behind his house. The other retired fellow sold off his stuff up North. Myself, small lathe and a nice mill. Plus Sherline lathe and mill. And a few others tools of course. For sure have a Large Hammer to help out with the small items.
Goal -- a 2014 Gatling Gun Project. Start to finish?? We will see. Something that two of us have wanted to do for several years. The fellow with the tools is being talked into it kind of. Think rock rolling down hill saying I might want to stop.

Looking forward to sharing and learning from you folks that have been there before us.

Later 42rocker

motorbikes, no. Have not been on a motorbike in over 5 years. Owned and rode a few but not for a while.
Saw that you are also a newbe on the Gatling Gun build site also. Best of Luck to you.

I\'m meeting with a few of the others folks in our local build group today (Sunday) and going to the shop we are using and seeing if we can make some plans for build a few Gats in 2014. Group is up to 4 folks so far. Some of us have a few tools at home also. Best thing is a nice master shop with lots of equipment. I\'ll try to post a little bit more about our group later this week.

Well hope that everyone has a good safe upcoming Thanksgiving Week and that we remember the reason for this season, not just BlackFriday.

Family, friends and Thanksgiving. Enjoy. We are blessed in the fact that we can look at and work on such things as Gatling Gun builds and not have to spend each minute trying to stay alive raising food and fighting whatever.

God Bless the Men and Women in Uniform that protect our Country and home and overseas.
