And a prayer for getting back up

Tape measure. 100 foot (maybe longer). We used one when building the family home in Montana 1964-65. Should ask my brother if it's still there. They were pretty much bullet proof, unlike the spring loaded rigid blade variety. These had limp measure that was wound back on with the hinged handle that's flipped over and locked. Thanks for the memory.

As a surveyor tech we used "chain" tape that was thick stiff steel and longer. No case. For storage the tape was hand coiled similar to a lariat and then twisted and "thrown" in figure eight motion into a smaller coil half the size. The chain had a leather thong on one (or both?) end to tie it together. I can barely remember how it was done. Summer help with USFS 1970-71, and 1975-77 (US Army got me 1972-74). Nowadays laser technology has largely, if not entirely, eliminated surveyor chains/tapes.

Okay, I see a motor sitting on an Amish carriage ... but no steering mechanism or driveline/belt/chain. Photoshop nonsense.

You do realize this topic is “on a lighter note” right?

He's still working on it, he's got a wrench in his hand.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
