Texas Gun Owners Preferred List (Shameless Plug Thread)

[Texas1911]

Haven't done one of these, but I snagged the idea from ARFCOM.

Basically this thread is for people to post what they do for a living, and/or any skills or abilities they have and would be willing to help other fellow gun owners in Texas. Think of it as a broader "Pay it Forward" list.

Put up your location, what you do and/or what you can help people with. If you need help with something, post up what you need help with.

Location: Austin, TX
Can Help With: Websites, AR Lower Builds, Reloading.
Need Help With: Need a Good Price on a Nikon D7000.

I'll help anyone but I'm so stupid I'm only good for manual labor and now I'm old so that doesn't work for shit anymore. Don't know anything 'bout cameras. Oh well..........wait..........I know a real good beer........Duvel (best beer I ever drank!).

I just found it also, and I will play.

I am a carpenter by trade.
I can weld, turn a wrench, and like to think that I can fix anything. I love to problem solve.
I have a big truck and two trailers, a 20' pull behind flatbed and a 25' gooseneck flatbed.
I also have a medium sized farm tractor with attachments and front end loader.
I keep a respectable supply of lumber and steel at my place.
I reload, and have a small range set up on my property.
If any of this may be of service to anyone, let me know.

I don't need anything at this point, but that may change. I could always use more guns though.

I live in Lampasas, but travel for work so I may not be available at all times.

[TexasRedneck]

I do water treatment and purification by trade....35 years of it.

Also tinker - everything from welding/brazing, rough carpentry, electrical (Dad was w/RCA for years, and taught me a lot). Have built more'n a coupla barns/sheds, and my own 16 x 20 workshop, includin' the electrical. Can weld up to 3/4" steel w/a 250 amp mig, have a purty decent-sized plasma cutter (up to 3/4"). I've designed & built BBQ pits, an' just about whatever caught my fancy.

I can NOT do masonry or concrete - not if you want it to look decent!<G>

Also reload handgun calibers. Have built a coupla AR's, and love old guns.

 

[Thegomezclan]

Texas redneck, can you recommend a good water purifier that I can install myself? Something from home depot or lowes.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Define "purifier" - something for the entire house, or at the kitchen sink? And what are ya tryin' to accomplish with it? Bear in mind that LOTS of stuff out there is designed for nothing more than separating you from your money...

 

[matefrio]

Location: Cypress, TX
Can Help With: Computer Viruses, AR Lower\upper Builds, Saiga Conversions, self taught disk and rotor break installer and a few alternators in my day, .22lr Ruger MK assembly, CZ83 disassembly troubleshooting and assembly, Internet searching wiz, computer security by profession, lock picking by hobby (still not as good as I'd like). Raising rabbits and quail don't ask me about breeding though :-).

 

[Thegomezclan]

Texas redneck, something for under the sink like an RO system. Thanks for the help.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Get the one from Sam's - do NOT buy the crap that they have at Home Depot or Lowe's. Much of it is "proprietary", which means they'll SOAK you on replacement cartridges....

But - why an RO? Ah....yer in Lubbock....that explains a lot - ya'll have some pretty nasty water out that ways!

 

[matefrio]

Whirlpool Reverse Osmosis Under Sink Water Filtration System is what I have for about $130 ish. I'd like to hear what a pro suggests though.

Should have waited 30 seconds. Good point TR.

 

[Thegomezclan]

Yup, the water doesnt taste good here at all. I get tired of buying water from the store. I will look at Sams soon.

 

[LilIrishTemper]

I'm Eric, live outside of Sherman. I have a huge new shop on my property with a overhang for a boat & camper storage. Im about 15 minutes from Lake Texoma, if your feel like saving some gas money instead of towing it. Right off US 75. Nice safe neighborhood. I can tell you where the stripers are hiding too. May trade year round storage for the right gun or I need my Glock refinished.
