Re: Flat Earther leaves the ground

The Flat Earth Society has enabled Mad Mike Hughes to indulge in his fantasy. Me thinks Ol' Mike is crazy...like a fox. Without funding there is no way in hell Mike could build his steam powered special on a limo driver's salary, and Mad Mike managed to pull off a sweet financial plan by exploiting ...

Re: How to make Black Powder

Luke, you are correct! 3% of 50 pounds is indeed 1.50 pounds. I should refrain from posting stuff when I';m drunk out of my skull! It's an interesting experiment if you have time on your hands but what does one do with all that salt water? LOL! (I've only done this once just to prove I could.) Years...

Re: Tools from Uncle Ted

Nice pics Bernie! I think the more you use the thing the more you will enjoy doing so. On four fin designs, you can easily check the accuracy by sliding a small 30/60/90 drafting triangle along the flat surface of your table or work surface until it aligns with a fin being installed.

Re: How to make Black Powder

These blocks are roughly 97% salt (sodium chloride) and 3% elemental sulfur (S) so a 50 pound block will yeild about 3 pounds of sulfur. Since salt is water soluble...

Re: Giving up your second amendment right

When the police in our gun free society (who will most certainly keep their guns) order the disarmed children into the showers, will they comply? If they choose to resist, with what will will they do so? Clever chants from DNC headquarters?

Re: How to make Black Powder

Congratulations! You passed the test! Now, on to making Black Powder. The black part comes from the charcoal which is the fuel part of the mixture. Actually, black powder isn't really black at all but more of a dark gray. And it's not really a "powder" either. It's granular, much like comm...
