Hi shovel80 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What kind of tools are you interested in building?

Hi Terr,

Welcome!

Now we're going to need to see some pics of your '80 Shovelhead…

What are you working on at the moment?

What got me here to begin with is the need for a Tailstock for my Milling machine!.....I want to get the tools together in order to cut round barrels into Octagon or half Octagon barrels.
I see many interesting Builds here!!....
My Bike is actually a '74 Shovel with 80" Flywheels.....I'll have to post a pic soon!

Thanks, Terry

Now I want to know what you're planning to build with those Octagonal barrels. Sharps, maybe?

Nice-looking Shovel!

Ken,

I'm planning on modifying round barrel blanks to half round for Schuetzen rifles I have.
I don't have enough travel on my mill to do full Octagon. I shoot a Schuetzen Match Monthly as well as a BPCR Silhouette Match Monthly with my wife as my Partner.

Thanks, Terry
