  1. Here are pictures of the clamp kit installed on the Whidden billet toolhead:

    Keep in mind the billet toolhead had everything already installed, and you simply screw the two screws into the toolhead instead of using the two pins from Dillon. Not exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully it will help some.

  2. Here is mine:

    Pretty much just thrown together. I keep meaning to build a bench for the reloaders but haven't had the time. Right now both are bolted to a 2" butcher block cutout that is clamped to a wood working bench.

  3. I have a question for you guys regarding the aluminum roller handle. I'd like to remove the aluminum cylinder portion and add my own handle. Something classy like this shifter handle. I remember seeing someone with a similar idea on here, but I cannot find the thread.

    Right now I am away from my 650 so I cannot check it, but I was wondering if this can be done. Such as how easy it is to remove and the thread pattern. Appreciate any info.

  4. Stop piling on poor MI.

    Working at a hospital and in med school... I've got to assume you're in Ann Arbor? That would explain a lot!

    I'm in Southfield. I guess MI in general isn't bad, I'm sort of tired of the people I work with though haha.

    Not enough shooting + leaving my Dillon behind in TN + too much studying + very unreliable friends = a bummed out Brian.

  5. I'd like to get one of those bumper stickers :roflol:

    Guess what I came home to? A water leak from the 12th floor that soaked my apartment on the 7th floor. Awesome. Just in time to screw with my studying for an OB/GYN test this Friday. Looks like I won't be leaving for TN this weekend, gotta wait for the new carpet to be installed.

  6. Well, I moved up here around May of this year. So far it hasn't been what I was expecting. Most of the people I work with were born and raised here. We seem to have different views on everything, so much that it's been hard to start any kind of relationship/friendship. Basically I'm stuck with going to the hospital for work, then back home or to the library to study. I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much, since I should be studying as much as I can while in med school, but it'd be nice to meet someone with similar views. It doesn't help that the people I knew here before I moved up turned out to not be such great friends (I made a thread about this earlier). Oh and the freezing cold isn't for me, that's for sure. At least I can have some fun doing donuts in the snow :)

    Looking forward to driving south to family for Christmas.

  7. Basically, I'm a pretty shy person. Over the past few years I've made a lot of progress to opening up, but whenever I feel pressured or anxious about something, I fall back to my usual quiet self. It's pretty ridiculous, especially for someone in medical school. Seeing patients in the hospital is fine, and I actually enjoy taking the history and doing the physical. The problem is when I'm trying to start some kind of actual relationship for outside of the hospital, whether it be for a friendship or a girl I'm interested in.

    Recently, I met a girl when we were both doing our psychiatry rotation. She seemed interested and after a few weeks I asked her out to a baseball game. The response was more or less, "thanks, I'm doing something that night, but we should all go out sometime before the rotation ends." The word "all" I took to mean that she didn't want to go on a date with me, but is fine with being around me. It's kind of a bummer, because I really thought something was there. Three months later I still wish something was there. But the thing that gets me, and what I've done for so long, is I'm way too shy in front of people, to the point I feel like I'm missing out on some sort of relationship. A lot of other students seem to know a lot more people than me, and to get along with others better.

    Whenever I run into this girl or some other specific people, I get reminded of this and I think it shows in my mannerisms. I've been told I can be intimidating and seem arrogant to people that don't know me because of this. I can ruin a good day because I will constantly dwell over how I act. I get so focused on wanting others to think I'm a good guy that I get nervous before I even say a word. It's pretty damn annoying, to be honest.

    This all started when I was young. Up until high school or so I had a pretty noticeable speech impediment and a lot of kids made fun of me about it. It's more or less gone now, but there is still a hint of it when I get pressured. People here in MI usually attribute it to my heavy southern accent.

  8. So, a small group of people I thought were good friends are apparently spreading bad rumors about me behind my back. I have no idea where this came from, and thought I had a pretty good friendship with them for the past 2 years. I confronted one of them about it, but he wouldn't give me a reason why. What's worse is we started working in a new hospital I might apply to for residency. Hopefully the attending physicians I work with don't hear this stuff and have it affect them writing a letter of recommendation for me.

    Guess it's time to find some new friends. And that's why I'm sitting at home on a Saturday night.

    And it sucks I can't buy a pistol in Michigan, having just moved here. Can't wait to visit family back in TN this winter so I can pick up a Glock 21sf or a 1911.

  9. So, I'm a third year medical student and currently working in OB/GYN. Sunday morning at 8 AM I start my first 24 hour shift for OB. Man was it crazy; running here for a C section and there for a delivery. I somehow managed to grab 1.5 hours of sleep but the worst part wasn't the long hours, it's the residents I have to work with. They seem to have some built up tension and decided I should be the receiving end. Oh well, I guess it's a good learning experience, especially the scrubbing into the surgeries.
