Ah, so this is that second part you were talking about before. I'm enjoying this series of "How G-dog makes bullets", and every part of it, too!
When I heard that the device you're using was called a power "thrower", I don't know why, but I was expect something more of a trebuchet, tossing the powder into the scales. The actual "thrower" is more of a coffee grinder in my mind, though without the actual grindy bits. Jones aside, it's pretty neat though!
I love the close-up shots on the Trickler... Pretty cool to see those macro pics on the granules. This reminds me of how tedious this must've been. I hope you have some good music to pair with that...
I don't think a trebuchet would work too well, but I'd be happy to have one, you know just in case I have to knock down a castle wall at any stage, or hurl a basket of severed heads over the wall to demoralise the defenders, poison the well etc.
I think that macro of the granule coming out of the trickler came out well, considering how small the granules are.
Glad you're enjoying it though. I have posted a while ago about the whole process with video and all, but this is a bit different.
Anyway, I hope you're well and having a good weekend.
Cheers, just loaded up with Domino's pizza, and my weekend is doing rather well so far. Hope you're all doing well, down under. That macro shot is more than well; it's actually pretty great, with good detailing all around! On the subject of Trebuchets, I think everyone needs one. It's a handy tool to have around you.
Imagine if someone sent the wrong parcel to your house, and you're trying to send it to the neighbour next door where it should've gone. With social-distancing and all that in place, you could just yeet that bitch over the walls. Who needs to walk, right?
You know, I hadn't considered a parcel-delivery use for the trebuchet but as you mention it I can see that it a totally logical and legitimate use and therefore having a trebuchet is clearly totally logical and legitimate.
It would eliminate them having to come over asking for a cup of sugar or to borrow a tool...Just hoik that bitch over on the trebuchet and you're done. Then, if they don't return the tool, send some fucking burning rolls of hay, some severed heads or a few boulders.
Exactly! Another use for it would be, if Grouchy's really getting on your nerves, you could just trebuchet that little bugger to the next county. The long walk home should prove a valuable lesson.
