Working with large chunks of metal using molds can be difficult. Larger metal pieces are harder to maneuver and pour into smaller molds for making rings or other pieces of jewelry. Casting grains are tiny grains of the metal, allowing you to melt as much or as little metal as you wish and work with smaller molds and less heat. To make your own casting grains, you use much of the same equipment used in melting the grains into molds. For sterling silver, you start with either sterling or make your own alloy with pure silver and a small amount…

With concrete and a mold, it’s possible to recreate complicated surfaces with ease. All that’s necessary is to fill the mold with the concrete, then allow the concrete to set. This method is used to create stone veneers that simulate the look of natural stone of all types. Before you can cast your favorite wall, however, you’ll need to create a mold of that wall. Creating a mold of a vertical surface, especially one as large as a wall, isn't as simple as creating small rubber molds of individual blocks. With the correct procedure, though, you can take the casting…
MATLAB is a software environment, produced by MathWorks, designed as a platform for mathematical and technical data acquisition, display, modeling and analysis. By default, MATLAB will display the results from each computation as an output string in the command prompt window. MATLAB includes several mechanisms for formatting program output to keep displays clean and easy to read while displaying important program information.
Many scope mounting jigs require you to remove the barrel and stock of your rifle. You then insert a specific caliber steel shaft into the chamber. This type of precision is good, but you will spend too much money just making the jig. You can make a simple drilling jig using a common doweling jig used in woodworking. All you have to do is screw a concave wooden bracket plate to the bottom of the jig to fit the bottom of the stock. This keeps the jig level when you drill it.
NeoOffice for the Mac lets you create text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases and drawings.

A bullet impact effect creates an image showing a split object and a bullet near the channel separating the object's pieces. Use a program like Paint.NET, GIMP or Photoshop to create this effect, as these programs have layering tools. Layers allow you to manipulate the bullet and other elements of the final image separately. To enhance the image, use your program's animation tools to show the bullet approaching the impacted object, then cutting through it. Paint.NET doesn't have animation tools, but you can save individual images for the animation's frames, then use a Web service to assemble those images into…
Soot is a black powder that forms in your furnace when the fuel in the furnace isn’t burning completely. As the soot builds up in the furnace, less heat is transferred into your home and more heat goes up the chimney. Extremely thick layers of soot can be a fire hazard because they indicate your furnace is running too hot. Both gas and oil furnaces develop soot.
The “black box model” is the gateway to marketing success. This model, also known as the consumer’s mind, uses several processes to arrive at a buying decision. Successful marketers contemplate the most likely decisions by weighing internal influences. The black box model attempts to address the decision-making process of the target customer’s mind. Ultimately, marketing campaigns can be made more effective by using an accurate black box model.
Casting metal is a difficult and dangerous process, requiring special tools and equipment. If you have the proper supplies on hand, it is possible to create a metal tiara casted from metal. Metals that have a low melting point -- such as pewter and gold -- are best suited to this project. Take care while melting the metal, so that it does not spill and cause serious burns.
Steam casting is an inexpensive way to make jewelry or other metal objects by pushing steam in to a mold. The steam forces the metallic substance, such as gold, silver or steel, in to the shape of the mold. This eliminates the need for a centrifuge machine or suction device. Steam casting is less expensive than other methods because most of the materials can be found around your home and in thrift stores. If you're a beginner, the lost wax technique of steam casting is a good way to start.
Apple hosts podcasts for the iPod, and producing a podcast involves essentially the same steps you would use to produce a podcast for other platforms: conversion, RSS feed creation, validation and publishing. IPod podcasts must be compressed in the MP3 format and saved with a standard “.mp3” file extension. RSS feeds, commonly used for episodic work, contain the meta tags used for podcast indexing, such as author and cover art. Publishing on the iPod platform requires submitting a valid URL to Apple on a publicly accessible server.

Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both writing styles can help you develop a resume that gets you noticed by employers and an interview.
Boxer primers are the most commonly used ignition source for civilian ammunition today. Gun enthusiasts who reload their own ammunition buy primers pre-manufactured, but if you are placed in a situation where you need to make your own boxer primers, it can be done. You will need to obtain or manufacture some of the components on your own, which can be difficult, but not impossible.
Swedish ivy are creeping plants often grown indoors as houseplants. These plants are members of the Lamiaceae family and are characterized by glossy green leaves that cascade from hanging baskets. While Swedish ivy is generally pest-free, aphids are often found gathering on the undersides of leaves where they feed.
Knurling is the process of inlaying a diamond-shape, or intricate crisscross pattern, on an object. A bullet is typically knurled in order to make for a snug fit inside a smooth bore rifle, such as with muzzle-loading weapons. Knurling is easily accomplished using a coarse cut mill-bastard file. After knurling the bullet, the outer diameter is slightly raised, which helps the bullet seat fully into the bore like a sabot. The resulting tight fit allows the powder to expand and propel the bullet without the use of paper patching.
Positive traction differentials are built differently than a standard differential. Standard differentials have ring gears and gear carriers which install individually, like a set of planetary gears. The positive traction, locking characteristics of the posi-traction rear end are made possible by a gearing system which is preassembled into a cam assembly which crops into the differential as an integrated part.
One of the most interesting aspects to the Kinect, Xbox 360 webcam is its ability to spotlight an entire room with invisible infrared light. Although these infrared dots are invisible to the naked eye, you can make them visible on your photographs, if you photograph a subject using a camera equipped with an infrared filter. Enhancing the infrared dots you made on the image with digital imaging software will make the infrared dots stand out and create an interesting special effects photograph.
Many rifles have chrome-lined barrels, which can make cleaning the inside easier, but it may make the gun less accurate. However, a long gun may be heavy and difficult to handle, especially if you are a hunter. If this is the case, you may want to cut down the barrel of your gun to make it lighter. It is possible to cut down the barrel of your gun with a few tools.
Face powder holds your foundation in place and gives your skin a silky smooth appearance that enhances your natural beauty. However, choosing the proper color for your skin tone isn't always simple. A shade too light and you can appear chalky; powder that's too dark can make you look ashy. For black skin -- or any shade of skin -- the secret is to select a powder shade that complements your natural pigment as well as your foundation.
Plaster casts can preserve childhood handprints and footprints or replicate other objects. Fossils are an example of imprints made by the bones of a dead animal or person into rock underground. Many celebrities have left imprints of their hands in the cement by their names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Imprints can easily be made at home to later use as a mold for plaster casting.
A barrel band is generally installed either to accommodate a front sight, or to attach a sling swivel, particularly for large-bore rifles. The rear sight base is typically installed in a dovetail, or drilled and tapped into the rear of the receiver. Gunsmiths fabricate these pieces out of flat bar stock, typically from steel or aluminum. If you have the appropriate tools at your disposal, you can make your own barrel band and rear sight base to customize your firearm.
Microsoft Excel 2010 can insert bullet symbols to make selected entries stand out on the worksheet. Bullet symbols add visual interest to lines of data. Bullet symbols can display small circles, squares arrows or other shapes in the cell’s left side. If a single cell contains a list, you can insert a bullet symbol to draw attention to one item within the cell’s list.
Special effects can add a creative touch to a picture or help convey a certain mood. Many of Canon's digital cameras, including the EOS single-lens reflex models, have several special effects settings, including one allows them to shoot pictures in black and white. Access the black and white image effect with your camera's menu system. While pictures shot in color can later be converted to black and white using photo-editing software, pictures shot with the black and white effect cannot be converted back to color.

Black powder rifles, or muzzleloaders, are used for reenactments, hunting and target practice. They are collector’s items for firearms enthusiasts, and they are loaded from the barrel (muzzle). Firearm barrels are made from special steel that will withhold 50,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. Smooth bores have greater, more accurate projection, and oils and powder will build up in the imperfections. The bore is the inside of the barrel. Lapping opens up tight areas, removes protrusions and machining marks and polishes the barrel.
Reloading ammunition requires a press and a set of reloading dies, including a sizing die. After a round is fired, the brass expands slightly due to explosive gases and pressure. A sizing die re-shapes the case to the proper size to hold a bullet and fit in the weapon's chamber. When using a Lee reloading press, the sizing die sizes the case and also de-caps the case's spent primer cap. A few steps are involved in using a Lee sizing die.
Shotgun chokes install in the muzzle end of a shotgun barrel. The choke reduces, or constricts, the diameter of the barrel to alter the shot pattern. The greater the constriction, the tighter the pattern. When a choke increases the constriction of the barrel, the resulting forces increase the recoil during the shot. Chokes are installed into a 10-gauge shotgun by inserting the choke into the muzzle end and screwing the choke into the threads until secure.
When you define a Cold Fusion variable, you must define a scope for the variable. A scope defines the type of data the variable can hold. For instance, if you want to assign an integer to the variable, you must scope the variable as an integer data type. Using another data type causes errors in your Cold Fusion code.
The AR15 is an assault rifle used by the United States military. While the AR15 is not in use, a sling can come in handy. All AR15s come with a sling mount. The sling attaches to swivel rivets on the front and back of the rifle. You don’t have to be a gunsmith to install a new sling on your AR15. You can do it yourself with just a few tools.
Shooting a basketball takes practice. Proper hand placement, shooting motion and ball rotation are all key to consistently sinking shots. The difference between snapping a “swish” through the net and rattling the ball around the rim is a matter of inches. Only repetition will increase accuracy. Once you find your shooting motion and can sink baskets consistently, you have to continue shooting until the motion becomes natural. A good shooter can predict whether the ball will go in the hoop the moment it leaves his hand. Developing that amount of accuracy requires hours upon hours of practice. But once you…
For an illuminated gun sight, RGB stands for the three primary luminance colors red, green and blue. The human eye is sensitive to these three colors and theoretically mixes them together to see all colors. The gun sight transmits one of the three colors and it appears as a dot on the target illustrating where the bullet should hit.
Microsoft Word 2010 can format a document to contain bullets or small symbols. A bullet can help break up the monotony of viewing dense text on a document. Bullets can make a list of items or ideas stand out on a printed page or on-screen. A bullet followed by an annotation can feature a comment or an explanatory note for added information to the text.
Molds are used to form concrete and clay into bricks. These molds are made from various materials, such as aluminum, wood and steel. It is possible to make a brick cast for molding homemade bricks. You can build a mold from wood in one to two hours, depending on the size of the bricks and your level of experience with woodworking tools.
Muzzle-loading weapons require black powder or approved powder substitutes to fire a round. These weapons have a lock mechanism operated by a mainspring which is used to cock the weapon. As with all weapons, wear and tear will cause mechanical problems, including a failing mainspring. This problem is often due to corrosion or breakage. If the mainspring is faulty, then it needs to be replaced. Replacing a worn or broken mainspring can be accomplished using a mainspring vise.
Bore scopes are optical devices comprised of a length of fiber-optic cabling fed into a display screen or lens, allowing the user to feed the thin end of the fiber-optic cable into a difficult-to-reach, tight area, and project the image onto the screen of the device. These devices can be extremely convenient when attempting to open a locked car door. With the scope inserted into the crevice between the car door and window, you can easily identify the lock control components, making opening a locked door a simple task.
Muzzle-loading rifles are used by many people to this day and have been for generations. Historians and collectors often assemble these rifles themselves for use as display pieces or for hunting game. As with any firearm, working with these rifles can be dangerous and requires a certain amount of skill. A black powder bolster is a key piece to muzzle-loading rifles that is associated with the barrel and must be installed correctly to avoid having problems with the weapon.
The Ruger Super Blackhawk is an iconic western-style revolver chambered in .44 magnum. The weapon is favored by those who hunt with handguns and silhouette target shooters. As with all weapons, periodic maintenance is required from time to time. One common problem associated with the Super Blackhawk is excessive rear sight movement resulting from heavy recoil. This problem affects accuracy when firing multiple shots. Repairing a loose rear sight on the Super Blackhawk can be accomplished at home with a few common gunsmith tools.
A peep sight in mechanism used to aim a firearm. The peep is a metal ring mounted on the back of the barrel. The bead is mounted on the nose of the barrel. A sportsman looks through the peep at the bead and centers the bead over the target. Theoretically, the impact point of the projectile from the firearm is in line with the peep and the bead. Most models of Thompson Center Arms firearms are are compatible with peep sights.
Almost all riflescopes use a set of turrets to help adjust the rifle. Turrets are known as the windage and elevator. Windage turrets adjust the horizontal crosshairs for the scope and elevators take care of the vertical. Installing a turret means setting the adjustments to zero, or replacing the dials on the turrets themselves. This requires working with the rifle. Keep it unloaded, the safety on, and point it safely away from people and pets.
