Same thing again, cant post it in the offical combustions, so ill post it here. Its nothing special. I added a few things to it. I made a potato slicer out of PVC and mounted it on the side of the stand. This way i have perfectly cut potatos.

You can't post in Official because only I can (and BC). Any threads in there started by other people were modified, approved, and moved there myself.

I mosted this to the Submit section.

Well i did that, but it wasnt that great. So i made this one has seraided edges that are real sharp. hey man, i got bored what can i say, lol. :lol:

I also use it for my pneumatic since they have the same diameter barrels. I didnt sharpen my pneumatics barrel, i didnt want to.

You could do it either way, it makes a nice clean cut. I used multiple files to sharpen it and saraide the edges, took awhile but its fast and easy and it cuts a clean potato.

My barrel screws on and off and the male adapter is conviniently beveled inwards to squeeze the potato into the breech. Not all male adapters are like this though. Normal sharpening of the barrel just breaks off chunks. Inward beveling makes air tight seals good enough for water.

Kicked up a long dead topic, but since were here, I will keep that in mind.

and the spelling is "serrated"
