My Powder Inc cylinder loader was looking for a chunk of wood to mount it to then remembered I'd just bought her a bunch of new nylon cutting boards so why would she need one of the old ones? )%R
Think the wife will know its missing?

Tell her you noticed the wood was deeply scored with knife cuts and therefore a health hazard. By taking it out of service in the kitchen you prevented some nasty cases of food poisoning. Good man.
GIVE that man a cigar (unlit of course, no need for explosions) I have been trying to come up with an idea on how to mount mine from Powder Inc and I LIKE your idea, what's even better is I have NO wife to complain lol.. I have modified mine so now I can adjust it for my Walker even..

Jidee55 I'm thinking it might be better mounted the other way handle on the other end.

Git yer wood burner out and write Powder Inc. in the wood.
Then you can say...."look, they use the same kind wood one o' our old cuttin' boards is made from ! Mm, they must git 'em from the cuttin board manufacturer.

You got an extra cutting board from the thrift store, you didn't want to use one of the old wood ones. It does look similar, but you can just take a knife and make some deep cuts to help disguise it.

"hey sweety, look what I was able to do with one of the old cutting boards! I would have hated to just throw them all out and this one will always make me think of you lovingly preparing meals fit for a king."
Experience in these things comes in handy.
I think you are right that the handle needs to be on the other end so you can lean one hand on it and the other on the lever's ball and control the force a bit better.
I have our grain mill mounted on a double plank so I can stor the thing out of the way and then use two or three C clamps to install it on the kitchen table when needed. Several other wive from my church were interested in that when SUsan had me help her in a food storage class and I just clamped that sucker down and started grinding right in the church kitchen. A c clamp might be just the thing for that at the range or in the shop as well.
I am a bit freaked still from an event at noon. Love of my life was on her horse at a show in a ring with 16 other horses and riders and her horse decided one of the fence railings was obviously a horse eating monstrosity. She is fine (in fact against my suggestions currently out grocery shopping) but bruised and sore. Got duped flat on her back in a clay arena with a "whomp" loud enough I heard it clear across the arena (of course she was as far as possible from me when it happend) took her a bit to get up and one of the other horse husbands caught the offeneding equine for me while I ran to her aid. Took her a bit to catch her breath and move....scared me bad enough I might not pull somethig like turning an old cutting board into a cylinder loading tool for a day or two!

If she's anything like my wife in the kitchen she'll never miss it. Mine finally figured out that the cornmeal that disappears was going somewhere other than into muffins but it took a couple of years.
As far as the horses are concerned, I'm glad your wife is okay kBob. I love horses but I came to an agreement with them many years ago after a long conversation with a paint that had decided that I was evil. He agreed to inform all the other horses of our settlement which was basically, they wouldn't try to kill me if I promised not to sit on their backs anymore. Now I prefer to only ride animals which are smarter than me, mules.

Gotta go with FotoJoe on this one; my wife probably wouldn't even notice. She didn't even realize that I threw out her old, broken 24 quart roasting oven after she bought a new one.
On the other hand, Joe; I reached an agreement with my daughter's old thoroughbred racehorse. To whit; he agrees to not buck me into low-earth-orbit, and I agree to stop trying to make the rowels of my spurs meet in the middle of his belly when he starts to buck. Our rides together have been much more enjoyable over the last 8 years.
Can't say much about "horse-eating monsters".... had a gray that saw them from time-to-time. He was a great (outstanding, actually) horse normally; but now and then we'd find ourselves landing somewhere 10-12 feel from where we were previously traveling. I just put it down to the Arab blood; and reminded myself that I knew it when I bought him. Actually I miss ol' Dutch quite a bit.

I still say ya just can't trust critters. I was riding with my daughter a couple of years ago and the mule that I was on decided that her horse wasn't smart enough to be in front and nipped her gelding right on the flank, what happens??
The gelding kicked and instead of my mule getting nailed it was me right in the ankle. Luckily the stirrup took most of the hit but I'm sure my mule was thinkin' "stupid horse, you don't even know who bit ya." I swear the mule had this idiotic grin on his face for the rest of the day.

My son's horse got spooked by a motorcycle and bucked him off into some big rocks. He got 6 broken ribs and a broken collar bone. Spent several days in the hospital and was stoved up pretty good for a couple of months. he's better now, but, still not as good as he used to be. He still has aches and pains. At 38, he's too young to be in that condition.

Nice use of the cutting board....
I might just do that myself, and because I'm female I don't have a wife to worry about!
I don't have one of those cutting boards with handles - so I'd have to buy one. I never did understand those blasted handles - stick out way too far, taking up good counter space that could have food set on it....

Thanks guys,
She got out and worked the horses butt off on the lunge line and in the round pin for a couple of hours then got on and did some patterns for an up coming show, Sunday.
SHe was still sore this morning but is doig the nose to the grind stone thing as I type.
I have to come up with a better way of loading than I currently do, (either on the gun or on the work bench with a mallet) but am too cheap to purchase what is screwed to that cutting board.
If you guys smell something burning, I am just thinking. A dangerous thing.

If your wife is like mine, YES she will see that "Something" is missing. I never thought my wife really paid a lot of attention to my gun displays, until one day she stopped and did a quick scan of one shelf. After about 3 seconds she said "OK What's missing" and she is just a quick to see if there is a new one also. I think the cat has been giving her a heads up on what is going on.
