Hicksville Volunteering

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Hey guys and gals. I think sometime early summer I'm gonna try to get a group together to go help out around the range for a day. I'm not sure just yet what exactly that will entail, but it could be anything from helping make new target stands to adding lanes. I know JD would at some point like to build a new building, so who knows-maybe we'll get a shot at helping out with that.

For now, I just need to know who can help with what? Do we have any steelworkers? Mechanics? Plumbers? Woodworker? Point and tell me what to do kind of people? If you have a skill or willingness to work that can in ANY WAY be beneficial to the range, speak up! Also, let me know if you have any tools of your trade that you can bring along. I'm going to be getting with JD around the 1st to let him know what type of labor we can offer him for a day and then see what he has that he needs/is willing to let us do to help expand the range. I'll start this and then keep a running list going as people volunteer. Don't worry if someone volunteers and they already do a trade that you can do. It never hurts to have people helping each other out!

When's the volunteer day going to be? I'm not sure yet-but I'll be sure to update it in thread and here once I find out.

I don't have any mastered skills but I have tinkered in most. Happy to lend a helping hand and whatever tools I do have.

Welding, concrete, electrical. Got my tools and machines.

Yeah, i7f I see someone standing doing nothing, I suggest something to them.

oh, dirt work too.

 

[Dawico]

I am pretty good at every level of construction. Carpenter by trade but have experience in everything from dirt work to moving in and every step inbetween. Tools? Yeah. Just one......trailer full. I also can weld and turn a wrench. If I don't have the tools for something I probably can get my hands on it.

My only issue is scheduling. I travel for work and usually don't have a long lead time on when I will be home or away.

 

[robertc1024]

SJ- JD call it. Let us know.

 

[Vaquero]

Oh!
CDNN sponsored Robert Earl Keen at the big bash last month in Abilene.
I honestly think we are the target audience.
I'd love to have them on board.

 

[Glockster69]

I think sometime early summer ...

The sooner the better before it's blazin' hot.
Of course that will depend on JD's planning / budget.

Will bring my incredible good looks, what few tools I have, and willingness to work - if I can make it.
I wonder .... can Angie make the sammies?

I think I can handle some ham on white bread. Might even throw in some mayo. (Yuck)

Some welding, no welder. Been a few years.
Finish carpentry, have finish nailers and compressor but no chop saw.
Circular saw, jig saw and can do most frameing.
Can do dome wrenching but not many tools.
Jack of all trades, master of some.

I've done it all over the years and have a barn full of tools and machinery at my disposal. You guys all know its a 5-6 hour drive for me and my work hours are pretty tight so scheduling is the only potential roadblock. That said, I do work in industrial sales so I can also get good discounts on certain materials if we need anything in particular. I've been considering building some lexan blast shields for the firing line during the tannerite fun for quite awhile...maybe I'll actually go through with it.

The way stuff was landing at the pistol area, that might take a lot.

Done rough carpentry work, framing houses, and am decent enough. No Tim Taylor.

Got a Skill Saw and framing gun(if the seals ain't rotted from sitting), DeWalt drill, cordless impact for lag bolts if needed.

Can do dumb work also, but it's been a while and there may be lots of labored breathing and leaning over, lol.

Can weld. Ain't always pretty but it don't break. Got a welder but the trailer it's on is for moving around the property, wouldn't make it down the highway.

Can bring some thick mild steel plates for target construction. Would need to know how many in advance.

Schedule is iffy, on call every other weekend but will be there if I can. Even if ya just need a water boy and target tester.

Come stay at my house. The doors are always open. It will half your drive.

Hicksville is my weekly range so anything I can do to help. Don't have any professional skills but I worked construction for a few years. I know my way around one of those wooden stick things with the top heavy end.

Jack of most trades, master of none. Dabbled in most things growing up but nothing professional. Can weld. Ain't pretty necessarily, but should hold. As long as it's not structural, I'd trust it with someone else's life. I'd trust my own life, but not others on structural. Mig (flux) only. Have welder, grinder, cordless drill, lots of basic tools. Excel at leaning on shovels, etc. Lol. Point me in the direction needed.

I am a decent general all arounder who learns fast. Have done most basic things and have drills, impact wrenches, skill saws, router, etc. And I have laborers, I mean teenagers, I can bring as well. Just need to know a timeframe to make sure we are in town.

 

[Byrd666]

Not sure what I can do for ya'll being an old gimp but, I'm a damned good Stupivisor.

Done design work, architectural and mechanical, paint and wallpaper, flooring, heavy equipment ops., some sheet metal and hard/heavy steel work, basic carpentry, misc. electric and plumbing. What do ya need help with? Just give me fair, advanced notice and I'll do what I can.

I can volunteer my stepdad's welder, but he'll come with it. He's always told me my welding won't win any beauty pageants. We can both swing hammers, nail guns preferred. Have air tools and compressor and a good set of hand tools. Best part is I have a really strong back and don't mind sweating. Stepdad is also a heavy-equipment mechanic (or was, he's an A/C and paper pusher guy now).
