  1. if it would work you would have seen it done.
  2. from a large animal it would make a nice laptop work table for many things I imagine.
  3. nope i'm going back, just in town to wash up and make sick jokes lol. i'm going back out this morning. take care my friend.
  4. verse two i love beans they also give me gas if you want to know how much just listen to my ass i ate some beans and went to bed. when the wife threw back the covers she thought that i was dead.
  5. I like onions cause they give me gas If you wanna know more just listen to my ass Beans do the same but no ones to blame just mother nature playing her dirty little game.
  6. Elk is on my menu!!! Beef? vt leather is beef LOL me too but the parts under the hide are much tastier not that leather hasn't been eaten by starving people many times in the past.
  7. I'm going to be truthful here don't get upset. I didn't go to your website you can google leather 101 and get dozens of lessons on making wallets for free. I wish you all the luck in the world but don't plan on this being your day job.
  8. nothing, just treat the leather so it protects the knife from those things. i use a good outdoor water resistant conditioner for boots and outdoor gear.
  9. dont cook your leather, an oven is to hot.
  10. very cool indeed. looks like part of a scapula, i butchered out many of them plenty flat and large enough to work on.
  11. i use snow seal or fiebings mink oil, you want something meant for outdoor use that water resists and protects the leather
  12. the search function is your friend.
  13. getting better all the time tonight finish the background and border, burnish the edges, stain, dye or antique and then see what you've got. there's still plenty of practice on that lil piece of leather don't waste it.
  14. Dang man those are cool!!
  15. you should be nice and toasty for sure, i have ng and need to install a new furnace myself, a new electrical service to the house was my big fix this year, hopefully next year the furnace. My blower went out last year and i found most of the parts are obsolete.
  16. i have two batteries in my truck with an isolator that allows one to remain charged at all times. The only thing my secondary battery does is run the winch which i think i may use once every four or five years so I can use it to jump start if needed. That's an idea on the fan. I'm heading for the woods today so I'll be gone for a week or so.
  17. Don't forget to check your battery also and wiper blades. lol I 'm way south but also way high our town is atop the continental divide at approx. 6800 ft. It should clear up now for a month or so then the real winter will start to set in. Its noon now and all the snow is gone to slush.
  18. i would love that too my friend!! Oh yea and some of my wines, elk steaks then a trip to OZ to see your side of life lol. We ended up with about an inch of snow in town, its crunch time now buy some groceries do a few odd chores then gas up the burb and we are off to the woods tomorrow.
  19. That's what I love to do just sit and listen to life in the wild. I especially love when the sun comes up, there is a moment right before when every wild critter quits making noise and there is nothing to hear but total silence then as the sun breaks the birds and all the animals start back up. We took the camper up to the mountains yesterday for hunting season so we could get set up before the weather hits and its snowing this morning. Gonna be fun cant wait to sit by the fire and have some of my homemade brandy.
  20. i found a fine mist sprayer in the womens hair dept, it works well. i originally bought it for misting my acrylics while painting.
  21. I would guess it unscrews at some point but its probably rusted up or just to tight. If you seriously want to re build it then cut off the leather. None of the leather or rawhide is good anymore you will need to replace it so no loss. it will be a lot of work for something that has little collector value but it is cool and I would do it just to learn how it was made. the holes on each end were probably to turn it on a lathe.
  22. thats beautiful, i had to find my magnifiers to read it lol.
  23. thanks lol that's my son, he has more knives than i can keep up with, now the other one i made about 12years ago thanks they fit pretty tight also they are wet formed to the cartridge's.
  24. hey its worth a try only takes a few squirts to know, and maybe even a cool effect or effects depending on spray size.
