Just an interesting subject matter. Beats watching reruns on the TV.

Old West repairs? Pretty much how I've been living. Forgot how many 1/4" holes I've drilled with a Ruger Single Six. ---6.. :D

I was adding guy wires to an outhouse to stabilize it in the wind, back in the pre-good cordless drill days. I didnt have enough cord for the drill to reach,...so the 45 drilled a couple holes for eye bolts.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?

My Dad has talked about using a .22 to drill holes out on the farm where he grew up.
