The other day, I noticed that the State of Washington was trying to serve a subpoena on a William English, PhD. I have not noticed professor English’s name before, according to the state, his study was cited in Hartford v. Ferguson. Digging deeper, I find: The AR-15 is America’s “most popular semi-automatic rifle,” id. at…

Occasionally, there are things that you just don’t know you don’t know. The bible for machinists is the Machinery’s Handbook. It contains maths, it…

I have all the raw materials in hand, as well as the motor and power supply. The 5 mm drive belt material is somewhere in the reloading supplies. It is the material I used to make a replacement belt for the wet tumbler when the original, 20-year-old belt broke. Is this a commercial design? No. The…
