    The countdown begins

    Oh, I would be pretty happy with that!

    Ticks

    I've gotten a couple this year, but I'm not out in the woods all the time. Never experienced anything like the numbers your describing!

    Latest Wallet

    Here is my latest wallet made for forum member Vince! This is the first wallet I have done with tooling and I think it came out quite nice looking. I really liked that not only is it an enjoyable pattern to look at, but it also feels nice to have the texture in hand. I used 4-5 oz. leather for...

    Ruger American Gen 1 magazines

    I have heard endless bad things about Ruger's mags for this rifle. It really ticks me off because I really like everything else about the gun for the price, but um, Ruger, if the mag don't work, the gun don't work. I've literally e-mailed them just to say they need to get that figured out.

    Charlie Kirk Shot in Utah Campus

    I believe it is likely that the event could be orchestrated from higher up, but is it really difficult to pull this off? I haven't looked into any specifics for this event, but when I have seen other high profile people labeled controversial going from place to place on known schedules I often...

    Charlie Kirk Shot in Utah Campus

    Well put. I have said a lot that one of the biggest problems I see with people lately is that they are incapable of just disagreeing. Everything is a "cause" and many can't seem to accept that people are always going to differ from themselves. A lot of people just need to calm down and live...

    How to move through thick forest?

    As someone who has practices some Kung Fu, I can can confirm that what you describe as a ninja walk is in fact common to a few different martial arts that may very well have been used by ninja at some point. That basic method of stepping is common to Tai Chi Chuan, Ba Gua Zhang, and Xing Yi...

    Barge, Plane Ticket, and Resignation

    Unfortunately things didn't work out in Alaska for our friend Vince and he ended up back in the lower 48. Life is always throwing curve balls it seems.

    Started Some Leather Working

    Here is my tooling test. I now have a very fancy coaster for my desk. It almost seems too nice to go putting mugs on, ha ha.

    Shell Shock 308 steel/nickle cases, sounds too good to be true?

    Honestly I don't think I really want more speed than what is typical of brass. Magnums never appealed to me, more velocity yes, more energy, but that means more recoil and barrel wear. This is from the perspective of someone who doesn't have to shoot long range though, I do see how this could be...

    Forgive me, Father

    I prefer owning understated firearms, but I really do enjoy the artistic aspects of a well appointed firearm even if it isn't something that I would really want to own. Case hardening is one of my favorite looks. Excellent.

    Started Some Leather Working

    I am not confident in my freehand carving ability at this point, but I could do a basket weave pattern. I put together this pattern in an art tool as an example of what I could do with just a basket weave stamp and a camouflage stamp. Both of those would be very easy to get and I could order...

    Started Some Leather Working

    Nice set of bags, they look great! Despite being slow, I really do like hand stitching for leather.
