While I am on a roll, I was able to get images off my Photobucket albums. I saw that there was a way to do it by using Google Chrome which I had. You are able to go into your albums after you log in, click on the picture, right click to copy and send it to whatever file you want. I just put mine on the desktop and filed them later. I'm sure there are many out there who like I had a lot of pictures stored there and like me never thought it would become a money matter.

I had broken a hammer from one of my L.C. Smith hammer guns. Dixie Gun works has these hammers rough cast with no hole. It takes some time to lay out the square to slip over the tumbler and then drill and file to fit. You want a snug fit. I have made a few of these on guns missing a hammer, but the broken tip I wanted to try and Mig weld.

Beveled both sides to get as much metal into a small area.






So far I have used this hammer gun and the hammer has held up, time will tell. The first attempt I used the wrong steel and it broke right away. This steel was either 1018 or 1020.
