I saw a really simple stamping machine
it is basically a big teeter totter
on one end is a 2’ section of RR track that is the stamp
long arm, offset fulcrum on the arm
sll you do is lift the arm and drop it. No weight
also have seen the same set up but a motor does the lifting via a chain and a offset pulley on the “crankshaft” section
Not trying to get all political and us vs them
but WTH? You guys can not have a blade sent to you ?
Man you guys need to stand up And kick over a few trash cans , get loud, and do it in numbers. What is the reasoning behind that stupid law?
From what I understand
my Gun smiths brother in Houston makes Damascus blanks, and sells them for $40 each. His brother received this one. He makes knives also
he (gunsmith) profiled the blank and sharpened it
We have a species called Asian carp that is invasive. The sound or vibration of an outdoor motor makes them jump out of the water. That is very dangerous when you are boating and 24” long fish weighing 10/15 pounds are jumping in your boat. A friend and I went fishing, A carp jumped up and hit him in the face then fell on and broke the gas connector to the motor. Which left us stranded in the middle of the river with only one paddle
I made knife sheath for a beautiful Damascus hand made blade and wanted to do something different
so I made the sheath able to attach to a belt 2 different ways
I added a holster clip to the sheath so it can clip on a belt
Then made a leather belt loop with snap The clip on the sheath can attach to a large ring that acts as a swivel for the 8” blade
Mmmmm. Battered and fried squirrel
squirrel gravy and fresh biscuits and field peas
big ole glass of sweet ice tea and a piece of Mississippi mud cake for desert
dang, that’s good eating right there
you are correct,
I screwed up the judgement holster when it was being stitched, after that I lost interest in the project and was sloppy in applying the tan kote
tan kote is what gives the holsters the shine you see
In US English, “judgment” (no “e”) is the only correct spelling. In UK English, “judgement” (with an “e”) is standard, but “judgment” is used in legal contexts.
I screwed this one up with the stitching
no such thing as off topic.
conversation is the exchanging of thoughts and ideas
While in gauged in a conversation the tide of topics tends to follow its own path as ideas are exchanged. If the original topic was an interesting topic to begin with the conversation will eventually come back to that topic
off topic does not exist it is a made up term
You live in a different area
around water (ocean) a seagull will crap on your head when you feed them. We used to toss alkaseltzer up and then watch the show
squirrel? That makes a mighty fine gumbo
