fedex is our nightmare. No office in town a small drop box at the local truck stop. And always late I'm two days after the first delivery date now waiting for a blower motor for my furnace. usually the packages go right through town to get to the hub then back again. Had one go through town three times before it landed on our doorstep.

all your work is fantastic and a real pleasure to see.

Wyoming is cold and windy, we have already seen -20f here this year. the friggin blower motor went out on my furnace three days ago. We are heating our house with propane heaters so its above 65 lol. Sounds like you have a plan. I'm still working on a few gifts but have slowed down a bit. Hunting season was a rough one so I've been slow getting back in the groove. hand sewing round stuff is pretty easy if its big enough to get the needle in side lol, last one i did i had to cut a set of needles off to get them to work.

he's been confused since 2019, poor guy.

I don't want to get political either but I'm afraid its to late. Gubmnets are cutting beef production radically as well as farming. It was all written years ago in agenda 21 as well as the paris climate accord. Yes its not a "conspiracy theory" its real and a lot of people were just to stupid to realize they were wrong and now to stubborn to admit it..https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/11/21/germany-cutting-back-meat-production-to-fight-global-warming-n512518

i use a pencil, paper and some measuring tools, ruler ,compass etc.

that is awesome!!

drill the radius corners with a hole saw spade bit or some such then you have options on what saw you will need. tape your formica or it will blow out. If enough room between holes you can use a circular saw. Coping saw will also work but your right a jig saw would be best. Or you can use a router also which may be the case if you need those tabs at the corners or a lip to hold up your machine.

man i love those lil fellers

LOL just google treadle sewing machine belt there are tons of places that sell them.

lol walmart has them for ten bucks https://www.walmart.com/ip/72-Leather-Belt-For-All-Treadle-Sewing-Machines-1-4-Wide/864244129?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=4182&adid=22222222222000000000&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=s&wl2=c&wl3=10352200394&wl4=pla-1103028060075&wl5=&wl6=&wl7=&wl10=Walmart&wl11=Online&wl12=864244129_10000004311&wl14=treadle+machine+belts&veh=sem&msclkid=96f6d41a5bd812ff23aab79ef8bc0d23&gclsrc=ds

oh that is cool great job on both!! I love old steel!!

cant you just take one you bought and make one? mine have all converted to round through routine sharpening.

i have laughed a lot at guys boo boo's but never at kidney stones. The words just make me cringe my wife went through them one time and i learned pretty quickly not laugh. My brother fell out of tree stand one time I didn't even make over to him before i was rolling on the ground the sounds alone cracked me up, ahhh shiiiit, ooof, branches breaking, more branches breaking, dull thud, branches landing. There he was flat on his back planted about 4 inches deep in the soft ground just like the cartoons lol, bow, arrows ,gun, and lots of branches all over him. Crap I'm laughing just remembering that one. I 've had my share too some day ill tell about my worst ever ultra super weggie and done by my very own loving wife.

not if you only slot the top piece and put your handle end between the inner and outer layers. Both pieces will be sewn together and riveted so little strength will be lost.

if they are then that's a good thing, mine are too but they are still dogs with a mind of thier own. The rivets will work if installed correctly. The way you have them installed puts all the connection force on the head of the rivet instead of the post. The way its done in the manuals is by creating a slot in your collar , run your handle through the slot and then rivet it to the underside of your collar this makes the pull pressure on the shaft of the rivet instead of on the heads and the leather then cant pull out over the head or break it off. it also makes for a more finished look, you can also embed the strap end between your liner and outer piece.

that is NIIIICE!

those are nice!

if they are hard pullers and may hurt something or someone if let loose i wouldn't trust that handle, those rivets aren't going to last with a big dog. I have American bullies and i wouldn't dare try to hold them with the handle as it is now. Just my opinion but i feel the need to warn you before hand.

welcome neighbor from about 150 miles west. So did you get your Elk?

Well friend its the day for cooking and eating here in the states!!!! woot!!! Wishing you well and hope your day is going as well as mine. 15lb. Turkey, stuffing is just the beginning two pies ,dinner rolls, gravy with giblets, And Home made sangria from my chokecherry wine. yum fruit salad, sweet potatoes. OMG spinach dip and chips to start out, deviled eggs. My wife wanted a small dinner this year LOL.

beautiful work you have really improved using your own personal style. That's how an artist works. Have a great Turkey day my friend!!

Holy crap!!!!!!! Hope you are feeling better those things are ten steps above painful.

i guess i 'm glad i never went down the instagram river. As for social media i used it for awhile now due to some people actually waking up and revealing it for what it is, a social mind f@#K to destroy any civility in life between free thought, I don't use it anymore. don't need someone playing with algorithms in my grey matter like a cat in a sand box. Never been kicked off a forum but i have pissed a lot of thin skinned folks who cant handle the truth too, even on this forum. You see folks all the bad guys aren't locked up in fact very few are and the worst of them know how to play the regular joe, naïve joe, to the hilt. Sadly that's most of the population on the planet. Normal folks refuse to understand that concept just because they cant understand it. Bottom line is social media has created this new form of narcissism that we now deal with daily, lying , cheating, multiple personalities, fake accounts, trolls, spammers, hackers. Very few good places like this forum exist on something that should be so profound as the www, its been destroyed by greed. Kindness, sincerity and honesty have been destroyed by bots and algorithms and money.

you worry to much, that thing is awesome and is pure art from the heart IMO. I've never seen the movie but i can say your artistic ability is very good..
