    Class has not filled up. So if anyone wants to check it out PM me.

    Kydex Workshop
    When: Sunday October 14, 2012
    Where: 46342 (Address will be PM'd to members attending)
    Time: 12:00-18:00

    You will have to order your own supply's, I will not have enough to go around. I get all of my supply's from Knife Kits. Here is a list of thing you will need to make a holster or mag pouches. You can also make knife sheaths and flashlight holder too.

    Chicago Screws - Black Coated - #8 - (.1875 x .250) - 10 Pack
    Stock# KKCS-8250-BK-10
    SEE: QTY DISCOUNTS
    Price: $3.60
    Chicago Screws - Black Coated - #8 - (.1875 x .250) - 10 Pack

    Eyelets - #8-8 (1/4) - Black Finish - (for .080 KYDEX™/HOLSTEX™) - 100 Pack
    Stock# KYSR8-100
    SEE: QTY DISCOUNTS
    Price: $12.95
    Eyelets - #8-8 (1/4) - Black Finish - (for .080 KYDEX™/HOLSTEX™)

    KYDEX™ Sheet - Black - (.080)
    Stock# KYSHE08
    SEE: QTY DISCOUNTS
    Price: $5.80
    KYDEX™ Sheet - Black - (.080)

    Hand Setter Kit - (#8) - (for 1/4 inch sheath rivets)
    Stock# HRSK8
    Price: $11.99
    Hand Setter Kit - (#8) - (for 1/4" sheath rivets)

    I do have a hand setter but one more would be nice too have so there is no bottle necks.

    Depending how good you are with the kydex you could possibly make 2 holsters with a 12x12 sheet. Make sure you order early so your supply's are in before Sunday. They do have two day shipping.

    We will be doing these in my garage. The weather as of now is 60 and rain so dress warm. I do have a heater if it gets to cold so dress in layers.

    As for hand tools we should be good. We could use a extra toaster oven and a heat gun depending on the number of people.

    I will have to limit this workshop to 10 people.

    We can order some pizza if we start to get hunger. You may want to bring some thing to drink.

    If you would like to do this and have any questions please PM me with them so we are not tying up the NWI INGO break room. I will do a update on a daily basis.

    So what you're saying is if I could keep t off the porn sites so much the computer may need less frequent replacement......interesting :D
    I think I like this way better anyway :rockwoot:


    Actually most 'good' pornsites now-a-days are much better than all the bad software and drivers out. At least with porn sites all you get really is a tracking cookie or two or more. But with 'valid drivers from hp (or so they claim)' u get an unstable windows system.

    Pornsites don't want u to have an unstable system. They want to track u and off course pay for content.

    well either that or get a image of the puter before visiting such sites and then when leaving such sites and realizing that the puter isn't running correctly, just re-image it back to the un-infected version...

    You could also use a version of nortons old Go Back software which is popular in the colleges... it reverts the puter back to original everytime you reboot it...

    How does everyone keep track of their firearms? Just curious. I used to have a program, several computers back, that had blocks for type, model, serial, notes, and a couple other spaces. Have been looking for a template like that for Microsoft Word, but others that I have asked, have no idea what Im talking about. Anyone on here have something? Or a friend had something close on Excel, but didnt really have what I was looking for. Anyone know something, have something, or use a better program?

    I use a simple excel spreadsheet. Maybe not the easiest to bang out, but it does what I need it to.

    Slide refinishing

    Not sure how many of you have ever refinished or had your gun slides refinished before, but I just got mine back from the shop. My g26 was VERY scratched up from over 12 years of wear, so I sent it off to rockyourglock.com and got it back within a week. Looks amazing! :rockwoot: Photos to come. They refinish other brands too (for all the Glock non-enthusiasts out there).

    Just wanted to share the info. Great work. Great turnaround time. Cheers!

    Andy stop smoking that stuff and you'll feel better I bet...

    CTC, you know some people just don't like eaasy... hahaha... Less reloading less cold wet hands = more rounds in a bigger mag...

    Must have missed you out there, when I left I was several pounds heavier from all the water, but I was able to do whatever I wanted... shootin in the rain, walking and all is always a joy... Both Beretta's ran like a top and the Burris Fastfire worked great even though she was in a puddle of water for alittle while.... I think I'm ready for Turnandshoots class, rain, snow or shine....

    Always good to hear about a job well done. And a week does not seem to long for a refinishing, im assuming thats travel time as well. Been pretty lucky on the firearms, although I have a Glock 22 that I had gotten used, a little bit of wear and tear, which im good with, but need to get the front sight on it (flew off while shooting at a range and was never able to find it).
