Nothing worse that water leaks. And the roof leak could be many feet from where it shows up inside. Hope you find the source.
Hade one years ago. Saw a stain in the living room and knew there was a issue. It was the bathtub drain. Fortunately, had a hatch in the closet to the faucet and drain for the tub. No leaks in the supply lines or faucet. Reached in under the tub and the drain crumbled in my hands. Could have been a disaster had I not acted on it quickly. Whatever is in our water, ate the brass drain pipe. All plastic now.
That pantograph would have to put out a lot of work to pay for itself, especially at one at a time. The way you make money with that machine is by selling the machines.

Today, I am cleaning out a upstairs bedroom closet that has assorted cloth items folded and stacked on the floor, three stacks. There is a toilet in there, that's needs a new valve and I can't easily get to it without laying on the floor, so all these cloth items need to get removed, so I can lay on the floor.
.
Out goes 3 Sleeping bags, a tent, half dozen quilts, some blankets, a few duffle bags with stuff in 'em, and other such items. Some of these items haven't seen the light of day for 25 years. I found some goodies. Best was two knitted afghans that my Grandma made. The other was a league range bag with Ruger P-type Mags.
.
I had three P Rugers (semi-auto 9mm) back in the 90s. I used them in IPSC league. After I quit the league, I sold a couple of them. Then I sold the last one at my 2015 Auction. I looked High and Low for those mags in 2015. I knew I had more than what was with the last gun. After weeks of relentless searching, I felt resolved that I sold them with the previous guns a decades before. Today, it was a nice surprise to find twelve factory 15rd mags and two speedy mag loaders in the nice smallish range bag with an embroidered fox on it, that I had forgot about.

Was thinking that.
Only stock duplicator I was aware of was one that interfaces with a lathe.
Also made me think of a Gorton pantograph.
Thanks for putting up the pics, Jon

Today was another warm day hit 50 degs & I saw the sun....first time in weeks!
Cast some more NOE 30 caliber 165 Ranch Dogs ( only casted with the plain base cavity!) it lets me cast faster amazingly!
got 175 casts in about 1 hour. when they cooled I pre-sized them for PC coating.
Got another gun clean for the safe.
Made the last fresh 6 large shell on shrimp in a garlic butter sauce @ 1.5 minutes per side. really excellent, messy to peel, but worth the trouble Shell on cooked shrimp have a much richer flavor!
OK something I didn't want to do but I'm proud of the little critter! My grand daughter turned 2 weeks old yesterday. here is a photo of her from yesterday!
I was going to photoshop a 1911 in her hand but my wife frowned on that!
Cell phone pictures ...I guess that is the wave of the future! Can't do much with them.... best viewed on a phone!

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
There are anti-gel additives we use up rather than buying the more expensive winter stuff. A little in a tankful goes a long ways, and I'm talking 30-40 below. Of course, you need a good battery and maybe a block heater too!

For that kinda $$$ I don't imagine anyone is just going to buy it without taking a close up look at it first. At least I wouldn't!

Not a bad day. Managed to get a good nights sleep for the first time in 2 nights, I think I was running on about 6-7 hours over 2 nights! Set modest goals this AM- get the F150 out of the snow drift so I can move furniture Sunday and clean the chimney. Got the F150 out and was plowing the spot it needed to go. Well, you can't plow just one spot, you end up having to plow a bunch of spoil and that leads to more and more plowing. Transmission was acting odd. It occurred to me to check the trans fluid level. Not even showing on the stick! Honestly, I don't know If I've ever checked it since I got it. Jump in the F150 and get 3 quarts of ridiculously expensive "Dex-VI". Took all 3 quarts!!! Friend at the parts store says these truck are known for the trans cooler leaking, so I'll keep and eye out for "blood" on the snow. Got all my plowing done and then did neighbor Earls and in front of my barn AND the road down to where we cut wood. Truck shifted fine after getting some juice. The chimney itself was spotless, which was a surprise. The section coming out the furnace and through the foundation was pretty grubby though. Got that done too.
I wonder why things like chicken soup taste better a couple days after it's made? I don't know, but I do know I don't have to more furniture after all tomorrow, which is good by me!

Skipped the gun show this weekend. Wringing out the new camera and some new lenses. The lately local Heron didn't cooperate as well as I'd like, but got a cpl. New lense coming that should help a lot. But got REAL Lucky as I was finishing up. Local crop duster was knocking the cob webs off (not spraying), and saw me come back out in the field taking pics. He was very accommidating and gave me a 15 minute air show! Hot some great pics, and found out how well one of my lenses would do. A real win/win!

Wife and I went to a small town gun show in Concordia. Hadn't been to that one in decades and is far enough away from the usual shows I go to that it was mostly different sellers. Guns sure seemed over priced. Only git a set of scope rings and a very small, leather sling I plan to put on that Husqvarna Sakrat .22 I like so much, needs something diminutive.
On the way home, stopped by my favorite LGS, Cleve's MArine in Salina. To my dismay, the old man finally passed a few weeks ago, he must have been 90 or so but still pretty sharp. If you've never been there, it's the last of its kind, very eclectic collection of outdoorsy stuff including a lot of old reloading stuff. They usually take in estate sale stuff and I got 100 rounds of .25-20 brass which I was thankful for. Also, four, ancient antique wad cutters for making shotgun wads, looks like a 10, 12 either 16 or 20 and a 28 gauge maybe? Gotta do some measurements, but worth the price evenif I never use them for the cool factor. Also picked up an old set of Hollywood .32-20 dies my brother needs. All in all, a good day.

Adorable baby girl there Jim! You SHOULD be proud!
I finally got to put some graver points that @Rockydoc mailed me a couple of years ago, put some grain volume markings on a couple of antler powder measures I cobbled together this afternoon. Made a button for the powder horn, too small but I used every speck of the tip cut-off that I could (the idea came too late, I should have cut off 1/8" more). Bummed around with the family most of the day, saw a neat dinosaur and fossil exhibit at a local nature center (really, really well done and mostly local stuff), did lunch in town, wore the kids out. Corned, ground, and screened 2000 grains of black powder when I got home, hopefully try it out in the smokepole tomorrow.

Loaded 200 rounds of 44 special. An NOE 503 swc over 4.5 gr of Titegroup.
Kinda worried, opened another 5K SPP to fill the drawer. Alsoalmost done with this 4# of a Titegroup. Only 2 1 pounders, 2 4 pounders, and a single 8 of Titegroup left. I may need to buy more by 2035
