Thanks Burkhardt! I did just that, to 660 and it worked.

That was a picture of my "good" practice piece, yea this one takes some concentration and patience.

Yea, I blew thru it a few times out here in the woods. I think I heard sasquatch yelling back to me.

That was a phone pic, now I need to figure out how to resize my real camera photos. Yea, that's one of sergies, I just got it last week. that was a practice piece.

test photo straight from my computer... It worked !!!

I haven't had too many problems, certain times of year I do get sitting moisture, but I keep all my machines well oiled or greased and have covers over the beds-tables so it's not too bad. the anvil gets wiped pretty often. Now if there was no one ever in that shop for a year or so there would definitely be problems with rust. my biggest problem is with critters. I have four 10 x 12 roll up doors open all day every day and I'm out in the boonies in the woods, I have a lot of mud daubers and wasps cruising thru, along with spiders, lizards and the occasional but rare snake. as soon as I got my Cowboy 4500 I decided it wasn't staying in there and getting buggered up with insects. the mud daubers are actually the worst, trying to build nest in every little crevice they can find. but in the end....there's no where else I'd rather be.

OK, I've always posted pics using Imgur but I understand what your saying, I've looked at old threads on forums and found that the pics were missing. I'll try and figure out how to post straight from my computer on any future pics.

Wow, those are nice! very good work.

Thanks Handstitched, yep that's an anvil, #220 sitting in a trash can filled with sand. I wish I played the trumpet or any musical instrument. I snore pretty loudly at night but the wife say's it's not music to her ears, I found that trumpet at a house about to be demolished. part of the job I had before I retired was to go to any property about to be demoed to check for and disconnect any natural gas lines. there were two demo company's in my area and I knew both of them, they let me take pretty much anything that wasn't any value to them, the trumpet looked cool so I threw it in the truck. got a lot of cool stuff over the years!

These tables are rock solid fredk, I liked the single one so much I made another being careful to make them exactly the same height. their like one solid table, there's zero rocking or movement.

It's 1 1/4" stelhrse.

Back when I first started doing leatherwork I used the tailgate of my truck and a piece of plywood for cutting leather because my 2/3 of a one car garage knifemaking shop was too small, and my back always killed me afterwards. fast forward many years and now my knife shop is 30' x 50'. I have another air conditioned place I keep my sewing machine and all my leather stuff but it's small and not really a place to unroll a side of leather. that's where I came up with this cutting table. at first I just had the one but recently got another to make it wider. it's just two tables with pvc pipes slid over the legs to elevate it to a nice comfortable, no bending over place to cut leather. the light's I made up too using a couple plastic buckets and some pvc pipe. these are nice, I use these light all over my shop where I think I need extra light at the time, I have outlets everywhere and also have two four outlet gang boxes hanging from the ceiling for some of my machines so it's plug and play everywhere. I figured I'd post a pic of these tables because there's got to be at least one other person that might use this idea. I'm 6'-1" and these tables are at 44", I love them!

I've don't think I've ever seen that style holster for a 1911, I like it! good job!

Thanks folks!

Wow, that looks awesome. nice work.

I made one of these inside the waistband holsters for myself a while back and really like it so I made two more. one's going to Philadelphia and one's going to Georgia. they fit a Sig 365 or a 365 X. Thanks for looking!

Being a knifemaker I have to say that's one strange looking animal there. good job on the sheath!

That's an awesome looking hat band. I know where my next rattler's going!

Nice pair, those look great!

Those are nice looking knives there Bruce. My primary stainless for blades are CPM-154 and AEB-L.

That quiver looks great! count me as another who hates connecting them to bows. I hunt from tree stands and hang mine from a branch near me.

Welcome from Florida, I'm a knifemaker also. been handstitching for over thirty years and finally broke down an bought a machine last year, wish I did it a long time ago ha ha.

That looks great! I don't drink but that could be used for all kinds of things.

Love it, that holster is over the top!

Are you near Bainbridge?
