Dang your a lucky man my friend!! you should have your critter picked out.

dang i should a looked. thanks for the info i9it sounds like it may be good on fries/ chips.

have you tried soldering a snap post onto the concho? you know the flat back piece, not the shiny cap.

thanks! they are and so am I, need to go touch some grass and get planted again. lol I'm to grumpy.

ditto nothing really new, this will take some time.

I appreciate it, thank you very much. a pig in a blanket here is a hotdog wrapped in store bought biscuit dough and popped in the oven. Not nearly as good as they sound lol.

hey that's no problem at all my friend i like to see what others have done and I think it helps others to see a few different patterns in the same thread. I hope more styles show up to talk about.

Suuuuup whaz up!!! you ok? I didn't unload on anyone or anything, just made a comment it seems your the touchy one to me. Its ok though, if I hurt your feelers I'm so so sorry. you have great day. Funny story i made a living teaching convicts to work , learn and hopefully lead a better life when they got out of prison. the hardest part was getting them to even TRY to learn on their own. From what i learned from that was simply our educational system taught them they couldn't without the help of an "expert" holding their hand and telling them every step to take. I see that in you also. Try to learn and I wont be a grumpus anymore, you will understand me and you will be proud of yourself for it even if you do make a mistake. The world is a huge place to play and experiment, chop off a piece of leather and play with it. Burn it , wet it, form it, taste it, paint it, whatever pops your cork, make life and learning an adventure you can tell others about. That simple 30 second exercise with a lit match and a piece of leather will teach you more than anyone here can.

ok i just googled chicken salt but there's a problem. some sites say it is a seasoning invented for rotisserie chicken and has no chicken in it, some say it has chicken in it? any how i would be very grateful and i wouldn't mind trying someone's secret recipe Fred. I doubt its on a store shelf in Wyoming for me to sample.

yea I've thrown a butt stock bullet holder away myself. rimless shells don't work well in them even new.

that one is Frodos, mine are at the top.

these have so many options they are way cool my friend.

75 bucks ?? buy it. fix it. play with it, then decide to sell or keep.

i put five in each pouch because that's what my rifle holds, its a one hand grab to re load. i can also carry stripper clips in them for my Mauser.

If you intend to scold someone don't finish with. (does it do that?), "we should be fine." it makes you sound silly. its 4 am again and I haven't had my coffee. oh so did you try a match or are you going to remain unknowing?

usually and hopefully 4 deer, 4 elk, and a couple Antelope, wild caught fish and grouse not to mention a big portion of our garden.

LOL i have three freezers and two fridges in my kitchen.

yes it is a leg of venison should be........... under a buck.

I've done that lol and never cut a hair, thanks, its better to have em and not need em than to need them and not have them.

I must say you guys are right they are delish on a burger, tried them out last night with a few pickled jalapenos on top for spice. Darn tasty indeed!!!! Thank you for that treat.

Or what ever you want to call em. I made a couple, they aren't much to look at and my camera is weirding out, it took these two blurry pics then said the chip was write protected. The first one i made is the dog eared one, the second one came out better. No dye just feibings golden mink oil. the splotchy-ness will even out as the oil penetrates and they will get a nice tan out in the woods. once i get back I will clean up the pattern, make some minor adjustments and some for different calibers then they will be saleable.

My two cents is this doesn't mean much in terms of helpful info for the average leather craftsman and here's why IMO. We all know that when leather is split it becomes weaker, how much is what this study tries to determine accurately. We also know however that the hide on the back differs from the hide in other areas of the animals body, that's why we use different cuts for specific applications. Its a good study don't get me wrong it does show repeatable results I'm sure. 1. This study while determining the amount of weakness in one specific part of the animals hide does not put any numbers on the other 70/ 80 percent so IMO it cant give good data as not all the hide is tested and compared. So how do we know the results would be the same for the butt as compared to the neck or any other area. 2. do you plan on using calf leather for straps or chrome tan? does leather from a mature animal have similar results? The study doesn't say that either. So with that in mind basically it tells you what you already knew leather gets weaker if it is thinned, but what you don't know is how strong it is to begin with or even why separating the two layers has such an effect. So if you are still asking if two equal layers are the same strength as a thick and a thin layer it doesn't really answer that imo. That would be a whole different experiment.

well said.

LOl Its 4 am and My sour casm cant taake it anymore this thread is insanely silly. omg they sell tea candles by the billions at Walmart of all places. Do they come with a keep out of reach of children and college graduates sticker? We may need to call an expert to get through this candle thing. But if your real carful you can put a match to a piece it wont take long to find out. Might want to inform the fire department first though just to be safe . And yes welding gloves still work ,Mine came dyed blue..

way cool IMO.!!
