Par4QC HybridWood Yeah, I have 2 scales. 1 is accurate, but not with anything coming up at 239.7, it will show 240. The other will only go by 5 gr. increments. You now know why I have 2, and which one I bought 1st. 😉
Typhoon It’s a old Golfsmith one that’s in increments of 5... not the fancy digital ones. Close enough for what I do. Like I added some tape and reweighed... arely moved from say 400 so I call it a ""c-h"" over 400. i added 2 2" strips to the 5 iron and U wedge as well like I did with the 7 iron. I then taped another one on the 7 iron so I can compare the numbers from hitting it the other day with 2 strips.
Rickochet I am pulling some Ping Eye 2+ heads. Whoever invented the glue Ping uses is a cruel sumbitch. 🤬
Mattyv Rickochet They really jam the shafts into those heads. I don't think it is only the epoxy they use. They showed the assembly process at Ping on an episode of How It's Made a few years back. I also got to see it in person when I went on a factory tour.

Maybe after heating it to what I think should do it I need to whack the head with one of those wooden mallets like the Ping techs use to set the lies. I might use some spicy language as well. Duh, I always use spicy language when I work on shit. 😜
Rickochet I didn't really build anything today but I found something I built many years ago. I have been in my current house for 35 years and am fortunate to have a huge workshop in the basement with benches and shelves everwhere. And with me being a packrat all the shelves and benches are full and I have been trying to clear the many shelves so I can sort out all of the shit on the benches and put it up on the shelves. I ran across something in a box on an upper shelf I had totally forgotten about. Do you know what this is? This is a funnel ashtray (butt can). Made from a solvent can and a funnel. The spring in the top holds the cigarette tightly and won't let the wind blow it off while the ashes fall into the funnel then the can. Then you let the butt drop in the can when finished. I don't know where these originated (probably WWII Navy) but we had two on our houseboat that my wife used. Friends saw these and liked them. Someone asked if I could make a "few." I found the cans and funnels online and got the wire for the holder and made a jig for bending the wire. These became very popular with local boaters and I don't know how many hundreds I made until I got tired of it. What is shown in the pic is the last one I had a can, funnel and wire to put together from parts in the box I found. I still had the invoices for the parts in case I needed to order more. The last batch were done in 2004. My wife would paint them and put custom graphics on them like boat names.
sdandrea1 Rickochet Nice Rick! Innovative. I'll change the thread title to " What did you build a few decades ago?" 😅
Rickochet sdandrea1 Nice Rick! I'll change the thread title to " What did you build a few decades ago?" Or for us geezers, "What did you remember today what you built." 😜 Actually I did build the butt can in the pic today. I had to assemble the funnel to the lid and add the wire holder. Picknitter. 😁
Rickochet Par4QC Gets kinda grouchy when the GN run short Grape Nuts? I don't need no stinkin' Grape Nuts. 💩
Par4QC 20 more clamps. May be the last run due to circumstances beyond my control. No wait....because of Covid, dammit, that's why.
darpar Made a tool for the golf course I work at to make it easier for the old guys to set and align the tee box markers.......super wants them 18' apart, some are barely 12'
Par4QC Would have been building these, but have had a major setback, for a few days. Certainly, they will have "Steve approval"...... And, don't worry, the major setback is nothing of great concern.............
JoeHatesSnow Par4QC Those are going to be purty. Love to see a nice Green Bay Packers tribute iron set! 👌
Par4QC johnnydoom 🤣I'm dying here with the new TM 790s, the Srixons, and now these. Think I'll just put them back in the drawers/boxes, out of sight. Maybe I'll order a new Scotty. 😲
Walterjn Par4QC Maybe I'll order a new Scotty Just so you have a new reason to post in the USPS Sucks thread?😂
