WARNING!!! All the pics will be BIG so you can see in detail. when done i will tak as many HQ pics as possible and scan them in so you can get a good look at them. But for now all pics will be as good as my DroidX will let me take. More to come later (When I get home) along with pics.

tjeffords, do you explain what this means in one of the other sub-forums? I looked in Ammo & Reloading but didn't see anything. Thanks!

It grew out of this thread: http://thefirearmsforum.com/showthre...880#post924880

tjeffords · 05-16-2012, 04:12 AM

I will get more info here as soon as i can my works got me on 7 days a week now and i just list internet at the house so as soon as i have the time to sit down and post i get on it and get everything from the beginning to where i am now updated. Basically this is just a thread to log the progress of the table i am making for a wounded vet.

tjeffords · 05-16-2012, 07:03 AM

Ok so this is the explanation of The Table -O-Brass!

I had been thinking one day that i wanted to do something with his 30" piece of round glass that I had. Well i had a military buddy that is a wounded irac vet sobi thought what would be better than make a table fro him entirely made from spent shells. Ones to that couldn't be reloaded for various reasons. Basically a way to fix show him even know something may be broke it can still serve a purpose.

So I started collecting shells from any where i could get them for free ( I am currently in a low income status).

I have started laying out the brass so far I will be posting pics here later today. But I am totally open to comments and suggestions. Will post again here in a little bit

Big ugly · 05-16-2012, 07:52 AM

I got some OLD surplus 8mm ammo that is no good plus the ones I have shot up, the ones that are split I will have to fire the primers in them. Shoot me an E-Mail and I will get em to ya. kennethbrannon77@gmail.com

tjeffords · 05-16-2012, 09:55 AM

that would be amazing email has been sent.

tjeffords · 05-16-2012, 02:55 PM

Ok so since I don't currently have internet at the house (it sucks being broke lol) ill post what i can from my phone.

Here are some pics. Since i can only post 4 pics at a time ill have another with more pics in a post right after this one.

The first pic is one of the glass it self, the second is a test of random rifle brass around the edge (top view), the third is the side view of the rifle brass test, and the fourth pic is the final design of the pattern.

tjeffords · 05-16-2012, 03:22 PM

This set of pics include;
1: Only .223's and 5-50BMG's laid out in the design i picked.
2: this is a top view of it.
3: this is has the 385 rimfires around the rim (yes I realized i put only rimfire around the rim)

Lanrezac · 05-16-2012, 05:09 PM

Thanks, tjeffords, that's a nice piece of work! I wish I was creative like that.

tjeffords · 05-16-2012, 08:20 PM

I have one arch filled with 9mm and a couple .40 s&w to split the two sides of the arch at the 50 BMG Ill post a pic tomorrow.

tjeffords · 05-17-2012, 06:16 PM

Heres the 9's

45Auto · 05-18-2012, 09:07 AM

Cool. Maybe a 218 Bee could be worked into the flower design.

tjeffords · 05-18-2012, 10:07 AM

lol i didn't even think of it lookin like a flower till now.

tjeffords · 05-18-2012, 12:07 PM

If I can find some bees and I think I could do up a patten for it. I might be able to fit either in the center or off to the side some where.

JLA · 05-18-2012, 07:16 PM

lookin good TJ!

tjeffords · 05-18-2012, 07:38 PM

its still a WIP but i just ran intoa problem with some brass. No primers. I don't think it will turn out well with the epoxy and no primers ( spots for air pockets/ to form). So if anyone might have some spent primers they could spare let me know any kinds would work. L&S pistol, L&S rifle and 209's. Drop me a PM if you could help.

JLA · 05-18-2012, 07:45 PM

Got you covered TJ. That box I sent has a bunch of spent primers in it.
