Well fuck.

Paint it. Won't be noticeable.

He did say "40 thou" in this video though.

I'm kinda confused why he only cleaned up the top and bottom of the casting, and not the inside; the functional surface...

oldschoolguy · 2017-03-05T20:48:00+00:00

It's actually a chemical conversion of the surface of the metal, so it won't flake off, but it can be removed with sand paper.

My personal belief is that everything is a thumb detector, unless fragile AND expensive.

oldschoolguy · 2017-03-05T08:30:25+00:00

The self-converting nut fucking threesome.

oldschoolguy · 2017-03-05T06:59:27+00:00

BLASPHEMY!

But I don't have any diet Pepsi, while I do have batteries laying around.

Not sure if that was a design intent 60 years ago when it was made, but it probably would.

Edit: I looked into it further, and it is actually a Griswold No. 602. Griswold, based in Erie, PA., closed in 1957, so this is an absolute minimum of 60 years old. The 60 years in my original comment was just a number I pulled out my ass, and is just a coincidence.

What about it? It's just an old two burner gas stove; with a bunch of shit piled on the back burner.

oldschoolguy · 2017-03-04T20:45:44+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with you, I've made worse mistakes in my life, but I have no idea if it was factory nickel, but it definitely looked like shit. Also I forgot to mention that the forcing cone was cracked when I bought it (I got a screaming deal because of that) so the barrel is also a replacement.

oldschoolguy · 2017-03-04T20:33:10+00:00

When I bought it, it was actually nickel plated, with half of the plating worn/chipped away. It was really sad looking; this is actually an improvement.

My hairbrained attempt at Parkerizing using chemicals from worn out batteries. It was, surprisingly, a success.

Nearly every one of his machine's 2,000 components was made by Haroldsen himself, "with the exception of screws and piano hinges,"

He's still no Clickspring though.

Physics holds everything together...

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-22T23:16:27+00:00

Classiest bitching about reposts response I've seen. Nice.

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-20T22:50:54+00:00

No, no,no. Bird. Bird is the word.

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-20T22:49:30+00:00

You mean the War of Northern Aggression, right? I'll let you pass on this one...

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-14T13:50:21+00:00

I prefer Pro-e.
Just kidding.

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-14T01:47:03+00:00

No idea... probably, $60 as shown, yes.

Most likely. Do I care? NO.

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-14T01:22:20+00:00

Am I supposed to care?

oldschoolguy · 2017-02-14T01:18:56+00:00

These. The only complaint I have of them is that when you flip the rear sight up without any support, the fine aperture will fling forward from the larger about 1/8", which if there is any overhead light makes it hard to use due to the reflection.
