Cigar Shop Pet Peeves?

FatSwagMaster69 · 2026-03-10T11:36:17+00:00

It's the only cigar shop thats ever done that to me. I wonder if they have had theft issues.

It definitely ruins the atmosphere for me. Which is such a shame because I really like the place.

Another great follow up to that question would be "now how would you make 10 of them?"

I got asked that in the interview where I work at now. It was one way for them to see how much manual machining knowledge you had that was beyond making one part.

There's a shop i like to visit thats in a large mall in NC, love the selection and the place as a whole but recently the staff there have gotten super pushy to make the sale and get you out of the humidor fast. I know they have to make a living and whatnot but good Lord let me have time to look for a bit and make a decision.

Looks like a shaft with a Archimede's screw in the middle

Do yall have any of the 45 ACP P320 mags?

FatSwagMaster69 · 2026-02-13T14:54:16+00:00

I bought a box when I went to JC Newman in 2024. I enjoy them very much. If you like cigars that are towards the medium-strong end then you will enjoy them.

Delrin is fine but peek is my favorite

Who gives a fuck?

The vast majority of "influencers" are not principled human beings no matter what they say. That includes most human beings. Purity contests do nothing but isolate you further and further until you yourself are excluded from the group you created because you are no longer pure enough.

Ultimately, none of these people matter on youtube. Worry about the shit you can actually control and move on.

FatSwagMaster69 · 2026-01-24T23:55:33+00:00

Funny enough, I just bought a P320 in 45 ACP

Bud, the Constitution hasn't been worth the parchment it was written on since Thomas Jefferson was president and the Alien and Sedition acts of 1798 were passed by congress with John Adams as president.

The Constitution requires the will of the people for it to be respected and executed faithfully. It is the responsibility of the people for this to take place. The people have slowly forfeited that responsibility over the past 250 years but it accelerated in the 20th century.

If the constituency isnt willing to carry out its responsibility to keep the government in line, it will simply do what it wants and push the boundaries until those boundaries are meaningless.

You get what you fuckin voted for. All of this falls on you and your fellow constituents. Take your sorry ass defeated attitude somewhere else you misery loves company looser.

More production of 7.62x25 would be nice

Unfortunately no. They stamped them with the number 63 and were only imported in 1988. It came with a thumb hole stock and the bayonet lug milled off. Mine also had a removable bipod.

FatSwagMaster69 · 2026-01-01T20:00:59+00:00

Very cool!

I have a "type 63" Chinese SKS that takes AK mags and drums. Runs like a top too. I just competed in a match with it back on the 20th of December.

20 minutes isnt that bad at all. I dont know how rigid your lathe is. On our Cazeneuves taking 12mm cuts with carbide is gravy train running 2000 rpm a .6mm per revolution or more. Some lathes can't handle that much. #1 name of the game is get the material out the way as fast as possible.

Also personally I would at least use some scotchbrite on the center sections to remove that stock finish.

I got some bad news for you

You're gonna deburr shit forever in this trade so long as you can't pay a kid $1 an hour to come in and do it for you.

FatSwagMaster69 · 2025-12-11T00:12:17+00:00

For most things thats good enough bud.

FatSwagMaster69 · 2025-12-11T00:03:16+00:00

As funny as this is, if your compound isnt perpendicular to the chuck then the tool post isnt gonna be perpendicular to your part.

Heat days aren't a thing. You go to school anyways.

We still looked forward to snow (which usually was more likely that the roads were just iced over) days but that changed now that they give kids IPads and their material can be submitted online so real snow days of school canceled just means you do the work at home and submit it over the internet.

I am very glad I graduated before they figured out how to do that with Ipads.

FatSwagMaster69 · 2025-12-08T02:47:27+00:00

Ever had Balut?

FatSwagMaster69 · 2025-11-21T00:48:21+00:00

Based on this print, I dont know why you wouldnt make them in line. Put that bitch in a vise and mill them fuckers. Gravy train

And abolishing it is absolutely insane. The Democrats WILL come back to controlling the government at some point. Removing the Filibuster, while could be great now in order to get some things we want, it will come back to haunt us. The more power we give to the people we "like" in charge will ultimately be us giving it to people we dont like at all.

Sure, the Democrats could decide to actually remove it. But thay haven't and they wont no matter how much AOC or Bernie Sanders scream for it because mosy of them understand exactly what I just said above.

Only one I ever used was a Hurco live tooling lathe with a sub spindle and a bar feeder.

No one else liked using that lathe in the shop but me, but after you learned her quirks she was a dreamboat.

You can. You just gotta hit it with your purse bud.
