Hi Dwight, Thanks for the pictorial!! Why are the .22's spaced out so far? I'm working on a belt and holster right now for an Uberti/Colt SAA in .45LC. The .22 will be next, for a Smith K-22 I got in 1965. God bless

After pushing the burr down, compressing the leather, did you clip/cut off the rivet, leaving just enough to peen over?

Nice little knife! I wonder what the odds would be of an owner named Rose stamping his own mark on top of the manufacturers mark? God bless

Wife is building bluebird houses..... getting ready. Always fun stuff, thank you Stewart! God bless

Nice workmanship. Also fits right in with the thread on Blackjacks. Now we can tell the cops it's a fid!! If anyone needs one I have a cast bronze cable vise used in splicing. Have two steel fids for it as well. Limit around 1/2" wire rope. Came out of a SE coast shipyard.

I sure agree with Uwe if you have several three phase machines. As a machinist since the seventies, I've watched phase convertors come and go. The American Rotary is a sound unit. You can make your own with a three phase motor and a capacitor, but just buying the danged thing is the best bang for your buck if you are electrically challenged. I bought a one horse power lathe with a solid state unit on it and hated it from day zero. There were too many solid state circuits and adjustments to make. For a couple hundred bucks I got a very good single phase motor and went to making chips. For another set of machines I got a good American Rotary 5 hp unit and from unpacking to making chips was a couple hours. For sure, let Bob Kovar set you up if it's just these two machines, you can't go wrong with him. It should be the cheapest route to sewing with your new toys. God bless

Hit the little lump on the back of your skull......nappy time. The medula is sure sensitive to getting whacked. Nasty headache when you wake up too. Here in WI, saps are covered by your CCW. Sock full of sand works too, empty sand and put your sock back on.

I used Duck Duck Go to search vintage plough gauges.... what a wonderful rabbit hole to wander around it... Lots of links back to this site as well. Enjoy. God bless

Oh boy!! Please, some photos. God bless

Yes!! Slate too. Thank you. God bless

And you can incorporate the 4 legs into the straps. :: A while back someone posted a face mask with what looked like wrap around bony fingers. I had a vision of your dino legs wrapping a few inches further from the pack to up the wearers shoulder and up to mid waist....on the side of the hip. Being grabbed by the dino... oh well, it's all in my mind. God bless

Any idea what the orange tag says?

Fred, The part under the added on clicker base appears to be curved. Was this originally a brake shoe repair press? God bless Well, Googling that idea was a huge bust.... not a brake shoe repair press.

My old ones were 8 oz.

Hi, Do you mean that lace protector thing with the pinked lower edge? I'll pull one off my boot and measure it up if that's the idem. God bless Been wearing Red Wing loggers since 1966. I wish Red Wing had made a caulked/corked version of that boot.

Well, Dustin, you 'beat' me to it! Now imagine what a four pounder will look like. Nice work, Chuck. God bless

Dwight, Thank you!! God bless

Thank you Dwight. Do you have a photo of your rig in action? God bless, Mike Rock Pastor Bob, that Adams site is funky. The various pages only stay up a few seconds then go blank. I was able to look at one very out of focus photo for a few seconds. I'm running Firefox.

Ah, Lawrence. I was in love with one of the Lennon sisters. When folks talked about the Strasburg drunk, they had old 'Wunnerful' in mind. Big party there every summer, not too far from one of our ranches. If you could reach up to one of the table tops on saw horses, you were old enough to have a beer :)) Miss that music, and the musician... (Strasburg, North Dakota)

Anything will do, apple, orange, you get the idea. If you want to have fun with a potato, rub the cut surface on American paper money. Or use spray starch. The little pen they use in stores to detect counterfeit money is nothing more than an iodine pen. US paper money does not contain starch, so the iodine won't react. If there is starch anywhere the iodine reacts with it and turns almost black. Got this from high school chemistry class.......a LONG time ago. I daydreamed of slyly spraying cash registers with spray starch when in Vegas once. It would cause a bloody panic!! Enjoy! God bless

If you look at the glass shelves on an old medicine cabinet you'll find the rounded edge for a slicker. Cut a 4" piece or so, with a glass cutter, and round the cut corner first on a bench grinder, or a belt sander and you are good to go. You can mount it in a wooden block of you wish. I just left it. Cool thing is you can make narrow ones, like 1" or 2". Merry CHRISTmas to all.
