i used to use an older (70S era) back pack frame it had a metal bar on the bottom that folded down to support a sleeping bag i would tie on my sluice box first then load it up inside with odds and ends then. use the straps across the sluice box to tie on my bucket and anything that didn't fit in the sluice box. I also was thinking of a design similar to a ww1 model 1910 haversack which you could adapt to an external frame, their design makes them well suited for many different loads but they are small. you would need to design a larger size and i would suggest heavy canvas over leather as it is lighter and dries easier.

what does the CFM mean under our name now? i cant send private messages either?

amazing work !!! I am so intrigued by your board game it is the coolest thing.

sounds to me like it was a meeting all three of you needed. It always amazes me how he works, you never see it happening or know why you just feel it. Beautiful story my friend. things you make don't have to be made perfect, to be seen as perfect. a person never really knows what an impact they make in the world until they get a a tiny glimpse as you did, kindness and a smile freely given are never wasted.

mad max is alive and well down under lol.

that is the coolest thing ever!!!!! Man i knew gas was high but I didn't think folks would resort to driving goats.

Most of the tools i buy are old/used , i buy from eBay as well as garage sales auctions etc. or i make my own. there is a guy on here that sells old tools also. i think he has a blog page here.

wow you do amazing work my friend! I wish a had taken more photos in the past. Ironically i love taking photos but never took many of my work until i came on this forum.

make a template out of heavy card stock, or something similar the exact size you need. then its a matter of just laying it on the leather and mark the holes and punch them out. those cheap plastic school report holders work well. Welcome and good luck!!

such a basic tool it could be used for any of a dozen things, or even converted just by changing the rollers. In any case its a very cool find.

possibly jewelry too.

i spent a summer or two in a set of those lol. not fun at 90 degrees. i just wear the upper half shirt when i wear one at all.

beautiful work!! how about some info on the making of it? leather ? finish? and how you formed it so well.

awesome indeed!!!

i love good food too!!! Tonight its cheese burgers in paradise. lol Cooked on the grill of course. Then an awesome fireworks show.

most folks don't have that much imagination, those are beautiful.

looks fine to me

lol that rocks my friend those who think different have a real mental problem, seems they have gotten their way on FB so long it has created some personality problems. people like that wouldn't say it to your face let alone look you in eye when they did. But no more negativity lowering myself to their standard is not in my playbook.

i am sorry to hear also and wish you all the best. All i can do is say a prayer for you and yours! God bless you friend.

I don't see them unless i intentionally go look for them I have no idea what the problems is?

its really called a Clematis its isn't real fragrant but they are very fragile and only last a couple of days.

well there ya go! let us know how it goes i wouldn't mind a nice cheek rest on my M1.

i dont think so at least the stuff i buy wont ., i think it is chrome tanned. But you can always cut off a small chunk and test it.

i've called these cleopateris so long i forgot the real name lol. My mom grew these at her house and i took one a long time ago.
