    Afghanistan Bound Jerky

    See the RPG nets on the vehicle behind them?  I work for the company that makes them, they're Q-Nets from QinetiQ North America.  I'm a development engineer for light and medium tactical vehicle armor.  As someone who once wore the uniform, I take great pride in doing what I can to protect them now.

    Took the plunge

    Thanks for the replys!  I have the AMNS, seems like that may be the best option either way.  I hadn't used it previously for anything other than cheese and jerky.

    Took the plunge

    I just ordered my MES 40 from Sam's, should be here next week, just in time for Memorial Day.  I upgraded from the the analog model.  Just a quick question for you guys, do the newer models come with the larger chip pan or will I have to call and request it?

    North Dakota woman sues Cabela's, Ohio firm, after severing fingers in meat grinder

    Funny how someones lack of accountability is everyone elses responsibility.  The biggest problem with suits like this is their impact on the rest of the consumer population.  Companies don't lose money in these cases, they pass the losses back onto the consumers by increasing their prices. ...

    bending stainless

    Here's the nerd coming out in me, but all three are techniclly arc welding.  For what you're doing, tig and mig may be overkill.  The price and complexity is usually the sticking point with most.  Then there's the gas and determining the correct mix.  You aren't applying much stress the the...

    bending stainless

    You can stick electrode weld SS as well, just isn't always as pretty no matter how good you are.  Like what was mentioned before, choose the right fill metal.  Best bet is to contact the manufacturer of the steel.  If, like I suspect, it is an austentetic 304 SS you should be able to use any arc...

    bending stainless

    Check the specs on on the SS but it should be pretty strait forward to weld.  If it's 304  SS, you should be fine.

    bending stainless

    It is probably 304 SS then.  you should have no problems bending and forming it.  My background isn't in metalurgy but I have a bit of experience with SS.  For our applications we use 301/302 SS which is a bit more brittle and tends to craze more with bending.  Overall, 304 is a great choice for...

    My New Pig Pounder Coming Soon!

    Beautiful weapon brother!  Now all you need is to put some rails on it to mount the Aimpoint and light.  Nothing's scarier than the sound of a weapon racking then getting blinded!  Make sure you load it with frangibles, don't want any collateral damage!  Have to admit though, I'm more of a FN...

    bending stainless

    If you don't have a break or access to one you could fashion a make shift one.  Grab two 2x4's that are at least as long as your bend.  Place the steel and one 2x4 in a vice, lining up your bend line with the top of the 2x4.  Use the other 2x4 to bend the steel across the top of the other.  Do...

    AMNS question

    Just dropped the hammer on it!  Wicked excited now!  Grabbed the 6x8 and 1# each of maple, cherry and plum!  Hope it gets here before the Super Bowl so I can do my baby backs and rib roast with it.

    AMNS question

    I wasn't quite sure if I should post this here or in the equipment forum, obviously I made my decision.  I apologize to the mod's if I'm not correct. So I'm about to pull the trigger on the AMNS, I'm just not sure if I should go with the 6x6 or the 6x8.  I'll be using it in my MES 30.  I plan...

    Do you have to brine a turkey?

    You hit it right on the head cliff,  it seems harder everyday to find really any meat that hasn't been brined.  I go strait to the slaughter house for the majority of my meat anymore.  I'm beginning to think producers will do anything to extend shelf life anymore.
