Well done!!
Isn’t that always the way? I hadn’t hardly cinched the last stitch before I was already thinking about what I’ll do differently on the next one!That's a good-looking pouch you made. I like the stitch work, button, and embossing. I need to make one bigger than the small one I have with some separators for things like my short starter, pan primer, etc.
I purloined my wife's cast iron curry pan to melt lead in. one of those ones with an enamel lining. Had to replace it. Those things are bloody expensive.had meatloaf for lunch. tasted funny and was just about the shape of the chunk she took out of my butt!
she forgave me and ordered this years model pressure cooker. did you know they had models, just like cars do? the pot roast special, the green bean deluxe, the double rack with a sunroof for viewing the stuff you are cooking to death!
i must be getting old! the one i ruin, Ah converted into the garage special, has plugs of pewter that melt if over heated, a regular old port for steam to come out, a big nob with weight settings to control the temperature! i asked where the clutch and brake peddles were and earned a hiss.
Looks nice!Not a historical period project, but muzzleloader-related; today I replaced the decorative leather lacing on my knife sheath. My Buck 110 has been my constant companion for many years. The sheath was really showing it’s age and the leather lacing finally snapped. Not being a period piece, I replaced it with paracord for an attractive color contrast. This knife has turned screws, pried stuck caps, and spread lube and cylinder grease for me for since I was a teenager. It goes on every range trip, every deer hunt, and rides on my hip to work everyday. I had fun giving a facelift to an old friend.
What a great shotgun. I'm drooling...
Sounds like a great day to me. I'm heading out tomorrow to swap cards in my cameras. I wish I could shoot for three hours.... Dadgum job. Grumble, mumble,......I started the morning by putting some corn in the feeder and spreading some protein feed. And swapped out a couple of camera cards. Haven't looked at them yet, but my deer are doing fine and I have a few nice bucks. Then I took my Investarms flint Hawken and spent about 3 hours shooting. Filed the front sight some, tried several different loads and enjoyed using my new loading block. Its shooting good at 50 yards now, not quite happy at a 100 yet, but its more me than the rifle. Getting ready to clean her up.
i am in lust with it! 1850 and still doing what it was made to do!What a great shotgun. I'm drooling...
Being retired has its benefits. Getting older, not so much. But better than the alternatives of death or working!Sounds like a great day to me. I'm heading out tomorrow to swap cards in my cameras. I wish I could shoot for three hours.... Dadgum job. Grumble, mumble,......
