Politics interest me, and so do other peoples opinions even when I might disagree with them. I've often said that the biggest reason that I see people not able to get along is because they are not able to disagree politely. Politics can get harder than many topics, but I have just developed a...
I'm not opposed to looking out for ourselves, I agree with better trade agreements, but if we were to start trying to acquire any territory we can, I have a bit of trouble figuring out how that makes the U.S. different than Russia trying to take Ukraine, for example.
Canada has not been nice...
Musk makes me nervous, not because he was unelected, but merely because of who he has proven to be. He is often foolish, usually selfish, and deffinitely potentially dangerous. My brother is working on technology right now that may give people alternative communication options to things like...
Wow, that is so cool! I have some Native American heritage as well as having a significant portion Hawaiian blood, so this is the kind of stuff some of my ancestors would have used. A fish hook, various awls, arrow heads, just neat, neat stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I heard about this through my gunsmithing school contacts. Not cool to put it softly. We may have 2A rights advocates in DC for the time being, but historically states have often slipped in non-Constitutional laws that take far longer to repeal than they did to implement. The more pressure we...
I know we are being tracked when me or my two adult brothers get interested in a minority topic and somehow our mom starts getting adds for those things. Not a lot of people own handmade Japanese kitchen knives. I got into them and suddenly my mom gets hit with an add on her phone. OK, weird...
Thanks for the compliments, this is the very first thing that I have made for anybody other than myself. To me it will be really cool to have made a functional piece that actually serves someone well!
I would certainly hope not as I represent a younger generation but I have yet to have the opportunity to hunt due to major life events. I sincerly hope there will continue to be hunting opportunities for the average person for years to come.
Steel does work harden, the more you bend it the harder and more brittle it will become. Both brass and steel can anneal with heat depending on how you do it. Steel traditionally will only harden significantly from being heated if quenched immediately afterward. If steel cools very slowly after...
While there certainly are good and bad teachers, it is indeed the higher ups that are responsible for the bigger picture. They are the ones that keep the ship headed toward the iceberg, not the teachers. I had a neighbor in her 40s go back to school in order to become a teacher. She is such a...
Using an axe will too, ha ha. I had a pine tree fall over in my yard, and it took out another tree on it's way down. Delimbed them and got some nice blisters to show for it. :) I actually love swinging an axe, it is mentally relaxing, but sometimes I over do it, heh.
Happy New Year, everyone!
