I guess this is the best place to put this. Initially I thought I wanted to make and sell moderators as a "side hustle" but I have figured out that I don't really want to do that. I mentioned it in the forums a couple of times though and so now I need to write this.

I don't take "orders" for the moderators I build because I'm not really in the business of selling moderators. I am experimenting and taking orders gets in the way of that process. What I do is list moderators in the classifieds which turned out well, which have been tested and which have brought a smile to the faces of the guys who shoot them. I build them and then I list them in the classifieds after I am done experimenting with them.

Sometimes when I need supplies I build a lot of three or four tried and true tested models which I KNOW work well and put them up in the classifieds. The "Ember" is one such design. Those are no longer in testing. If you see me list any of those in the classifieds they are new.

I hope that helps folks who are asking in the public forums how to get one of my moderators. Please watch the classifieds if you are looking for something. If you want something special (larger caliber, higher energy, odd thread patterns) then send me a note telling me why you think I should build one of those and I'll talk with you about it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your patience.

Indeed.
But running something like there here, would cost you
1 Arm
1 Leg
1 First born child
And you can never speak against " then man " again

And that's just for 1 day of warm shop.

So i freeze.

Normally you charge the powder with electricity from a electrode in the tip of the gun, but another way to do it is friction charge it, basically agitating the powder so it collide with itself and so build up a static charge, just like in a cloud with thunder.
I preferred to use the friction gun, well at least when i had to repairing stuff they messed up on the main line as there was no time to send it around again there.

You can have electric build up on the subject which can make it hard to get the powder to apply even again, but there are also ways to Degauss a fire door or what ever it is you are repainting.


I have seen some ( Chinese ) pretty much just dip stuff in a big vat of powder agitated by air from below,,,,,, you also need this for some 2 component powders so its mixed properly before you spray it, but in automated spray boots that recycle powder air on the powder are also used even if its just 1 component.
This is generally a air pipe that sit below the suction pipe for the powder.


IF things hanging on the conveyor are not grounded properly, and go thru a spray booth with like 8 - 10 guns in it, well the high voltage in the guns tip can actually create a powder explosion.

Feeling the spirit to cast some .510 N.O.E 460 grains today. I reclaimed about 300 lbs of lead 3 years ago...I need to try to use it up....I went way over in buying powder coating too about 13 lbs of it....jeez ill never use it..I usually cast 50lbs at a clip...2 Lee 20 lb production pots and a PID controller.... Shake and bake 25 lbs of slugs powder coating at a time.Water quench out of oven to get them to separate perfectly.. Can post pictures of process if.it may help anyone... If anyone needs .510 slugs I will have lots...

Going to invest heavily into my personal health. Not happy where I'm at, so I will change the eating plan and invest in really clean water. We will see how it goes!

If you READ the site RULES, understood them you would not be having these issues. This is a PRIVATE owned web site and we members are guests that are allowed to talk & converse, barter and sell so long as within the established rules you agreed to when signing up. I'm by no miens the site police but do understand pretty much what WILL or WON'T be tolerated. So with that said .. good luck.
T
I understand that. Admittedly, I never even read the rules, just signed up with the common sense of things that aren't tolerated like picking fights and other common sense things. Then I find out that it's forbidden to even mention powder burners or ask the legality of suppressors, etc... Just seems stupid and I have a problem with over stretching rules. Yeah yeah, its their house, their rules.

December 7 have always been a sort of holy day for me, even if i have no dirent national or other tie, then that day is of significance to my people none the less, well the few remaining honorable and caring ones of us.
Mind you most other here are clueless even though they are big on things like Halloween and Denmark have for decades hosted the largest outside of the US July 4 celebrations, though that too are now just a small thing as our two countries have drifted apart and many dont care where they come from or where their family members went back in the day.

If I had the choice between doing something and doing nothing, I'd choose nothing. Unless it was to help someone else do nothing. I would work all night if it meant nothing would get done.

Latest out of the shop here. Top knife is Walnut with orange G10 liners, not visible in the pic. Next is blue laminate G10 and the last was camo laminate G10, but mostly FDE showing, which is fine. I'll do a leather sheath for the walnut, black kydex for the blue and FDE kydex with a black clip for the last one.

Some pics during dry fit as well as the glue up portion as well... and yes, shop is a disaster. First pic looks like the tip is burned, but was a shadow. Used a brushed/rough finish and then tumbled blades in ceramic media. The FDE knife got a coating of cold blue afterwards to finalize the more 'tactical' look. Looking back at the Walnut, I should have extended the scales a little more and did something else rather than a blunt, straight line... not much I can do about it now. Still turned out pretty. Still need to put an edge on these, as well.

Blanco is a great friend. Always around for everything. Even when you kind of want him to leave.

Cherish these moments, because as we all know, our much loved friends leave us way too early.

I have been blessed with nine much loved dogs and two horses, and when each goes to Heaven, I am heartbroken.

My rule is, if the dog comes and bugs me, I stop what I'm doing and do something with the dog. Some day, my dogs will be gone. So will I. Time is short to enjoy such wealth.
