  1. C4 was my go-to when I was blowing things up for the Army, 45+ years ago. I like it, easy to use, you can cook your rations on it, even fish with it.
  2. I have three colors, white, red and green. And they are all fairly hard. Personally, I like the green. It is what my friends that make knives use.
  3. One of 2 formulas that didn't work before we came up with C4?
  4. Why do we DRIVE on a Parkway, and PARK on the Driveway?
  5. Muskrats and beavers are rodents.
  6. It WOULD work. Sir Winston isn't fast enough to catch a cat if it runs, but the last one that thought to stand up to him is buried in the orchard.
  7. I'm not sure where I got this picture. I just use it to date some of the tools I buy from time to time. All credit to whoever, it is NOT my research.
  8. I sew my loops with a simple cross stitch, then sew them in however the regular stitch would fall. I can generally angle the needle after it's through. I frequently help the process with liberal use of 'Carpenter Words'! And I don't mean square, level or plumb.
  9. True that! I've poked myself many times. That's a good time to break for coffee or beer. Wouldn't want to get blood on the project!
  10. The PROPER way to keep cats out of the leather shop;
  11. It looks like veg-tan. As to weight, I would think 6-8oz.
  12. No, Craft is more like C.
  13. QUALITY leather work will last a very long time. My mother, 85 YO, still carries a wallet she made in high school.
  14. I work construction, mostly road work now, but years of home building also. Obenauf's has been my go-to for the last 15+ years. Twice a week I treat my boots and they're good for the duration. GOOD stuff!
  15. Had I known, I would have sent you some. I take them off and throw them away. I find them to be a total PITA.
  16. It's nothing I ever worried about, it's just leather, period.
  17. And they didn't even TRY to match the color.
  18. I think that is because the UV index isn't as high this time year. It will 'suntan', but it will take longer.
  19. Beautiful work!
  20. I got mine off eBay, and I think it was under $25. For $60 it better do the skiving for me.
  21. Very nice!
  22. Merry Christmas all! Here is a prototype ornament I made. It was originally to be 4 panels, but my geometry was off, and it would have looked more like an apple. So 3 sided. Will work on some more for next year.
