  1. Yes!! Slate too. Thank you. God bless
  2. 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
  3. Any idea what the orange tag says?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Well, Dustin, you 'beat' me to it! Now imagine what a four pounder will look like. Nice work, Chuck. God bless
  7. Dwight, Thank you!! God bless
  8. 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.
  9. 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)
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. If you stick the punch in a potato and heat the threads to orange quickly a few or three times, just the threads will soften and no hardening and tempering is needed.
  13. Bruce, Thank you for that. I had the same problem and recut the threads, a real pain. Merry CHRISTmas to all. Mike and Valerie
  14. Check out Bruce Johnson, who is on this site. He sells used tools of high quality. God bless Merry CHRISTmas to all
  15. Dwight, I agree... the other difficulty with a slide hammer is some loss in the ability to turn and maneuver the business end of the tool. The subtle little twists and turns when edging or other continuous actions gets difficult if the knurled portion of the tool handle is covered with the hollow end of the slide hammer rod.
  16. I like the idea Sanch has, make a slide hammer out of it. Slip over tool, line up and hammer. Two or three different weight hammers.
  17. Well, he'd better shake a leg.....

    Nose to nose with Frosty! Love it. God bless
  19. Chuck, Sure enough, the same exact thing. Now I have to go and make a darned wallet Old one I got in 1976. God bless
  20. I can hear a few of the Amish guys who helped me sew,,,,,, 'Michael.......SLOW DOWN'... That was on a Union Lockstitch that would go 200 miles an hour...... Chester threatened to turn the air motor valve almost off.... actually he did and slowed the machine until I learned to stitch slowly. Helped immensely on the harness work they were letting me do. SLOW DOWN....... Keep your eye on the line about three stitches ahead. HAVE A LINE was the other thing they harped on...an awl scratch, a stitch groove, something to follow. God bless
  21. Well, rats!! "Not for use on natural veg-tanned leather." Per Tandy. Not sure if I have anything else here.....
  22. Solid Concepts, in Michigan, could print these.
  23. Nice! Are those two thatched roof buildings in the left background in the first and second photos?
