Ok that makes sense.
Does anyone else have this problem????
I go to the shop to turn some bowls that mama keeps saying sell for so much money.
I bring it in the house for inspection and she goes on and on about how awesome it is and how much it’s worth ........ then snatches it up and says it will go great right here and I’ll put xyz in it!!

Very nice if I had the room I'd be turning bowls .
 
Well, you have purists, you have practical people, then you have balls to the walls hot rodders. In all fields of collecting, not just saws or cars. One of the things that top the list with Savage1899/99 collectors is, should you put a scope on a vintage rifle. Savage didn't start drilling them for scopes till the 50's. If I want to scope one, I buy one that was D/T'ed, or one that some one else already drilled. I'd never drill a vintage one, there are plenty out there already buggered up. Here's a few of mine with scopes, a few without, what's you opinion?
1912 1899H in 22 HiPower, with 1912 Malcolm 3X scope.

1950 99R in 250-3000, with 2X Redfield.

Did the finish sanding on the dough bowl. Lots and lots of sanding but I got the shape I wanted applied a coat of shellac a few minutes ago . I also picked this edge sanding Diablo 40 grit wheel works very well for shaping View attachment 948436View attachment 948437
Nice bowl, I love the grain. Did that crack start when you were shaping the bowl? Green wood? Maybe hit the crack with CA glue to keep it from migrating.
 
You can do a lot with those wheels but you have to be gentle. A whoops will remove more material from where you don't want to remove it from and in a hurry!

It's a lot more forgiving than the Arbortech tool that has 3 carbide cutters on it spinning at 12k rpms
 
They are up there have Coopers on it now 305/70r17 e rated good tire but even though it's still got tread it gets stuck easily in snow or mud . Had Bf Goodrich TAs on it before that but the price was way to much . Truck came with 265/70 on it but looked way too small . Looks like I'm going with the Goodyear wrangler AT Adventure in 285/70 and ironically the best price was from the local Goodyear dealer.
Still looking at 1400 all in . Just spent 650 on the driveshaft still cheaper than a new one

I found Toyo open country at3 in that same size for the Dodge. 1200 online but found a shop nearby to m/b for 1000, that was a steal. Nothing is cheap anymore.
