If there ever was a "specialty" store in this world, well then that BMGparts store would be the ONE. What a hoot!

You "done" good, Brother; don't ever think otherwise. :beer:

:drool:

Well, you could throw gun rings AT that pole and, you know, make that into a game during rally season or something. Or is that maybe not such a good idea? :popcorn:

Hey, bigmike, if we're not breaking any rules or anything can you treat us to a pic; you know, please?

"Less is more" is what Mies van der Rohe once said, and others also agree with you (please see below): The cans look great.

rustystud speaks truth (duh!); pneumatic is the way to go when you're going that many at that size. Just 5-10 in a row with the manual gun is enough to put anybody's hands in a cramp you won't believe.

I didn't realize that Stanley makes the rivets, and that the name Pop-Rivet is their product trademark. Thanks for that lesson, Brother Valence! [thumbzup] I do not believe that Pop-Rivets feature a tapered shaft: - the shaft diameter is constant, and the anchoring effect comes from pulling...

"They" say an inch is as good as a mile, right?!

That is a parade-ready truck for sure; looks great! :beer:

Hey, Valence, you got nothing to apologize about. Your photo record is a treat. It's great. [thumbzup]

I always like Ace Hardware, they seem to have everything moreso than the Big Boxes (HD and Lowes), even though the stores are much smaller. They're just hard to find sometimes.

That's fair. Do you know if the Tandy pricing compares fair with like Fastenal?

Does Tandy sell in small lots (like individual), or do you have to buy in quantity?

I'm late to your thread here, Mr. Valence, but this is an excellent thread, and an excellent build-out, too. You do it right. [thumbzup] And I hear you about finding the right tool for the job. Funny thing about those screws (and like you I never knew what they were called), but you can get...
