Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I have been loning it so far, just researching and diving in, it would be nice to have someone else in the field to discuss things with! I looked up how to make a shell carrier, how to measure out the loops and all that, and I don't think there is any reason I...

Thanks everyone, its encouraging that you guys like them! Hmmm, it's not something that I know exactly how I would do right off the bat, but I would be curious to try to think up how to make something like this. So far I have focused all my efforts on sheath making, so I am still getting my...

Hey folks, I got into some leather working recently and wanted to share. I have done some pretty intensive knife and sharpening research over the last three years and hope that I might be able to experiment with some crude knife making soon, I even have a rudimentary forge in the works for the...

I don't want to sound like I am throwing the baby out with the bathwater or that I hate everything Olympics related now. Like I said, this isn't the first time I've had a problem with a piece of the Olympics. I think you point out exactly why recent developments boil my blood though. There are...

What they have done at the Olympics this year is thoroughly disappointing. They have totally vulgarized the supplemental entertainment to a demented degree, included children in their digusting displays, singled out Christians as a target for insult, and now allow men to compete in women's...

A lot of confusion over the situation for certain. I'm not sure whether to expect some sort of foul play, or just sheer incompetency to be the likely cause of the situation unfolding as far as it did. For now speculation seems somewhat difficult. I hope this doesn't end in a useless muddle where...

I am almost surprised this hasn't happened already with the way people hate on Trump. It seems God hasn't decided it's Trump's time to go yet though. I asked my older brother this morning whether he thought surviving an assassination attempt might increase someones chances of re-election. He...

My dad has a couple ten rounders for his Savage 110 scout rifle. So far I have never disliked anything Magpul.

Happy belated 4th. I wanted to say it here because I didn't even say it day of to anyone in person. Honestly it was not a very fun day for me, things are tuff at home right now, I'm constantly exhausted and busy. It wasn't by giving up that our forefathers got us here though, so I'll stick to it...

I think a huge portion of our population is fairly reasonable people who are just wanting to get along in life, but the general populous has largely lost either the will or the ability to play a positive and needed role in government as a citizen. We are slowly returning to the state of...

Lame to hear what has become of the NRA, but it sounds like you have done your research, taken it for what it is, and taken appropriate action. Hopefully many people are realizing the same.

I forgot the really good news! We got a new roof! So it is pretty rainy out here, we knew the roof had sustained damage, and it was pouring down rain like I have never seen before. We checked for leaks and found one, so we spent the next three hours maneuvering what we needed into the attic to...

Well, we have proven we can do one section. There are about twelve more, some of which are going to be quite difficult to get material to. Everything has to go through a hole in the wall only about 2x3 feet in size, then it has to be moved about 100 feet through a crawl space about 3 feet tall...

There is indeed no good middle ground, this party split has been a problem since the founding of the U.S.. Some of our first politicians such as Patrick Henry and John Adams were rather disgruntled by the effect that the two party situation had on the country. The problem is in our voting...

I can say that I have shared your emotions on a very deep level, so I understand what you are saying. This is what I felt like a couple years or so ago, but my reaction to the current desperate circumstances has changed over these last few years, and I believe it has changed for the better...

I don't know if Christianity is growing, shrinking, or staying the same, I don't think God intended me to know or worry about such a thing, but what I have found heartening all the same in the midst of trying times is that I am seeing people who once had no conviction come face to face with...

Sharpening is a hobby of mine, I am a little obsessive, so sometimes I get frustrated when things don't turn out the way I want, but it is something I am passionate about and have lots of fun with. I have an absolute fascination with edged tools and hope to be able to make knives one day, as...

It's funny you bring up Holland's software, I hadn't looked into it in depth, but Holland is one of my gunsmithing instructors.:)

If I remember correctly, one of the advantages of MIL is that it can be fairly easily used to estimate the distance to a target of a known size by measuring the apparent size of the object with the reticles markings. It might be able to be done with MOA as well, but a metric measurement makes it...

I have been cooking a lot more ever since my family moved out of the exploding city to a smaller town. There's not as many restaurants and many of us have health issues that don't need to be aggravated by fast food anyway, plus it is actually possible to get to the grocery store out here, it's...
