    Tangle Boss

    I can't find it now but Tim Judd (Las Vegas) posted on Facebook about a week ago the he had some Tanglebosses for sale. You might try the Tanglefoot Traders website (http://www.tanglefoottraders.com) or their Facebook page and send them a instant message. Good luck
  3. I don't know for sure. These are photos I collected while doing research on how to make the striking sticks.
  4. I've picked Katalox for my attempt at making one of these striking sticks. It has a Janka hardness of 3660 and I estimate the finished piece should weight in at somewhere between 2.5 and 3 lbs.
  5. My current collection. As I am sure you can tell some I prefer over others. There have been some that have come and gone. Usually to someone that felt more in-tune with them than I did. I am really looking forward to trying my new creations, once they are finished. Tane
  6. Wow. I want to thank everyone for their contributions to this thread. I am amazed that my curiosity has sparked such a great discussion and sharing of knowledge. I appreciate all of you, wish you the best and look forward to any additional postings. Tane
  7. Thank you Bruce. You have made my day. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. I'm even more excited to get this project started now. Hopefully that can take place on Tuesday. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Tane
  8. Thanks for the input Chas. I will try to post some pictures. I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I have several mauls and rawhide mallets. I'm just interest in trying new ways of doing things. To make sure i'm not missing something I might like better or that could improve my product.
  9. I’m here to confess my curiosity about Stricking / Tooling Sticks, along with my lack of knowledge about them. I am hoping this community can help me to understand the construction and use of these sticks so I can reproduce one or two for myself. I am very excited to try tooling with one. I have some these sticks that similar to a maul. Others I’ve seen are 18” to 20” long. Some with both ends square and a handle in between, others with square end and tapered to the opposite end. I’m somewhat confused as to the use of the longer version. Questions: 1). Is the extra length just there for counter balance? Also used like a maul? 2). Or is the extra length used of the lever point, using it and the elbow resting on the table as the pivot point? I have purchase enough Katalox I believe to make a long and a short version, but need your help/input before I can make the first cut. Thank you Tane
  10. I have two Landis #1s. One rebuilt and the other being rebuilt. With my first one I got a copy of the owners manual. I have scanned it and can send you a PDF if you'll let me know where to send it.
  11. Try Eli at Landis Sales & Service   Address: 115 E Co Rd 500 N, Arthur, IL 61911 Phone: (217) 543-3464 He has had everything I've needed so far.
  12. I would like to purchase the two flower centers, if they are still for sale. Tane
  13. Have you sold the glue pot yet? If not let me know and I will take it.
  14. I was wondering if you have sold your machine yet. If not I was wondering if you might be willing to sale some of the spare parts. I have two Landis #1. one is complete and the other is missing a few things and I would be interested in purchasing parts if that is somthing you would consider.
