great find at a great price!

give it to your 18 year old son to wear for about two months.

Make a wooden frame like they used for stretching beaver and then hang it on your wall, its mighty cool work! https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=78A7426524364F7ED0EF390B927F99FEF2E54B9D&thid=OIP.v-3SPzZE0ZxPokXU3wItuwAAAA&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fauctionimages.s3.amazonaws.com%2F63030%2F50792%2F43080922.jpg&exph=480&expw=391&q=stretched+beaver+pelt&selectedindex=22&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=0,1,2,6

Dears Santa is it to late to change my mind? LOL yea for sure I'm going to be watching this guy he knows his stuff and is exactly what I need to know. I've done most of the mechanical issues but now i'm into the body work and the interior this is going to be a great help thanks for the link. After doing some testing I think my old 401a can handle light upholstery work if I go easy on her.

I gotta keep this There's a 75 mgb in my yard begging for new seat covers, and door panels, and , and , and, ……. very cool that guy has done a few seats in his time.

Which one? Definition of buffalo (Entry 1 of 3) 1 : any of several wild bovids: such as a : water buffalo b : cape buffalo c(1) : any of a genus (Bison) of bovids especially : a large shaggy-maned North American bovid (B. bison) that has short horns and heavy forequarters with a large muscular hump and that was formerly abundant on the central and western plains

very cool idea!!! Merry Christmas!

lol thanks! Yea when you buy it you learn nothing, when you build it you get to learn and keep and use the knowledge, sometimes you even learn you should have bought it to begin with lol. I love this maul it comes from where I have hunted and fished my whole life and where my ancestors put down roots well over a hundred years ago when Wyoming was a territory its much more than just a piece of wood to me anyway.

Sweet!

my maul is scrub oak from out in the woods company lol! When it wears out i'll just make another. This is the one of hardest woods growing in these parts.

This info it should help you, seems the uberti is a colt clone so any pattern for the colt single action army could be adapted. "This is the ideal concealable revolver for today’s Western enthusiast. The bird’s head grip design has been incorporated into Uberti’s Cattleman series of 1873 Single Action Army revolvers in both standard and Stallion designs."

LOl we had a guy worked on our inmate crew, for fun he would pick up the front end of our farmall tractor! One tough cookie had 6 nice scars in his chest from a 357, perfect group about 4 inches around, yea it didn't kill him but it did stop him after he bled out and passed out, he knew how strong he was. Here we would send the crazies to the state hospital and they would send em back, they weren't sentenced to the state hospital so couldn't keep them! But we had just as many "window lickers" we used to call em as thorazine makes people kinda goofy, but it does keep em from killing other people, had one beat the cell window out of his door with his fore head, it is about 6"x12" and 3/4 inch thick tempered glass. You don't wanna know the gross stuff some of these poor souls do to them selves as well as others. I worked on the maintenance crew so daily I was in a cell block usually alone or with one other fellow employee with my toolbox full of tools and about 150 inmates, first thing my boss said to me when I hired on" your life wont open those block doors son sure you wanna work here?" He was an old prison guard from the old days and was on the thump and drag squad before aclu and all that stuff, when he walked into a block he was greeted with yes sir and no sir from the old timers who knew him, I was in the max yard once and an inmate asked me to tell him hi and wanted a job when he got to trustee, I asked him how he knew Ray and he smiled, no front teeth , he said Ray smashed all my teeth out on the cell door one day when I was being an ash*&le.

lap = overlap, underlap, two pieces of leather skived so the thickness doesn't change when they are lapped together. each piece of leather is usually skived at a taper. Skiving or paring is a basic term for thinning a piece of leather.

That's a cool cap indeed, for some reason I connect it with riding bicycle, it would make a great looking bicycling hat.

so if you make a wallet out of kangaroo will it have its own pocket to keep itself in?

That is awesome!!!

great looking work!!! I find it amazing how in just a couple of generations we lose so much information on everyday life ,our grandparents probably could have told you how to finish that strop off the top of their head as almost every household had one back in the day.

great info yea I think it helps those who want to help themselves out of that drug or booze induced hell they put themselves, and many others, through. Most are decent when they get clean, some need to be there forever. You would be surprised where I have seen ex inmates that I know, almost all get out sooner or later and never forget when you are standing in line somewhere probably three out of ten behind your have felony records.

thanks! very interesting info seems the cheap labor prison workforce business was nationwide back in the day!

beautiful!! great work on those initials!

lol yea from all the places he is said to have been he woulda wore out a dozen horses a year and never got any robbing done. Cool story there!

Very interesting indeed. when the first state prison was built here, the wardens were usually business men of some type and would set up and fund businesses and were legally able to use inmate labor at that time and pay them very little. Our fist pen had a broom shop that made the old grass brooms . later another warden started a shirt factory. I think maybe that type of prison work was what you ran into.

Old Butch is a local hero villian in these parts and rode this country frequently , my family homesteaded in the little snake river valley where he came through often and all the people knew him and the wild bunch. Years ago my dad was working for the museum out there and had the fortune of getting to clean up an old Winchester rifle that had been given to a local by Butch, It was a 38 40 if I remember right and I helped him clean it up for display man that was one sweet rifle, it is still on display out there and if you are ever in this neck of the woods go to their museum you wont regret the trip.https://www.littlesnakerivermuseum.com/home

lol that's funny and I don't doubt it a bit.when I first hired on one of my jobs was to take inmates and put in the Constantine wire around the facility as it had none at all , we had a few escapes by inmates cutting the fence wire before that, after we just followed the blood trail. once a bunch of em even tried to tunnel out like in the great escape lol the old tunnel is still there. Yea folks get kinda twitchy when they find holes in the fence.

Since then we have built another medium security prison, it has all the vocations there, as well here in the high security prison there is still welding, carpentry, and a textiles area where they make all the clothes for the system as well as machine embroidered stuff a huge kitchen and bakery, laundry etc. At the honor farm same thing but they also tame and sell wild horses and have a fire crew that fights forest fires.
