A few items on the list...
Figured it was only fair to share some of the projects in my queue since several other guys shared some of theirs;
1917 Enfield, has the ears cut off, receiver profiled, new stock fitted, barreled action polished and blued, need to finish bedding action in stock, drill action for scope mounts, finish stock, polish and blue floorplate and fit to stock.
6.5 Greek Mannlicher, got it with stock and barrel cut down and action stripped with some pieces missing, need to crown barrel, polish metal and blue it, re-shape and re-finish stock, fit the new parts.
S&W Mod 14, need to install bull barrel and do an action job then polish and re-blue.
Lee Enfield, got it as a basket case, have not decided what to do with it yet
Have a few pieces around that need various repairs and/or tuning.
Then there are the vehicle projects;
'51 Willy's M-38, need to get a broken tap out of the head so it can be re-assembled after being sandblasted and re-painted,
'66 Dodge W-500, clean out fuel tanks and coat, replace cab mounts in floors, replace seals all around, re-do brakes, re-paint,
'53 REO XM-282, Complete tear down and restoration of this one of a kind prototype,
'39 Ford 9N, Complete tear down and restoration,
'62 Dodge M-37, Complete tear down and restoration,
'85 Jeep Scrambler, Complete tear down and restoration,
'52 Willy's M-38A1, Cosmetic freshening of this rust-free, but slightly banged up ex-forest fire fighting rig,
Plus a half dozen other rigs sitting here waiting attention.
Then there are the building projects;
Build a sun room on the cottage,
Build a three season room on the house,
Wire, insulate and interior finish of 3000 sq. ft. garage/shop
Install two post auto lift in the garage/shop
Build a shed for garden/yard tools and outdoor power equipment,
Organize stuff stuck in every corner of every building and deciding what to sell, what to dispose of, what to donate to charity, and what to keep.
Then there are the machine tool projects;
Refurbish Atlas/Craftsman 12" metal lathe,
Refurbish Atlas/Craftsman 6" metal lathe,
Refurbish Boyar Shultz 6"x18" surface grinder,
Re-wire shop to re-organize and re-install welding machines and make room for new tools.
Well, that is the severely abbreviated short list.
