    The Tenuous Future of Living History

    O.K. we all need to calm down a might and maybe do a bit more research. Thanks a bunch to CuNoseCap for the OP. I had to go out and find out more about it. The following links break down all the salient points of the report, most of which I understand and reluctantly agree with. The idea of...

    The Search for a Vintage Cornbread

    I'll weigh in a skosh on this: As Dave and Notchy Bob have pointed out neither the corn nor the milling process was the same as we use now. The photograph shows a mill that is within driving distance of my house and of which I was once (abt 35 years ago) a member of the then Interpretive...

    Fears Deadly Deer Disease Could Infect Humans

    Thank you for your response and comment. I come up with off the wall tag lines because... The "washers worth" refers to my childhood of many, many years ago when someone at school always knew which vending machines in town would accept zinc washers as currency, sometimes requiring a piece of...

    Fears Deadly Deer Disease Could Infect Humans

    You have some real good information and points here. You are right to suggest that people look carefully at sources for actual evidence. Most don't, we just stop at the first thing we see or when we are told something we WANT to hear, Let's not let a little thing like evidence and fact get in...

    WITHDRAWN Western Arms Santa Fe Jedediah Smith Hawken

    These are great rifles and give a decent hawken appearance. I have had the privilege of seeing, holding, even disassembling authenticated rifles made by the Hawken Shop. There are differences, mostly arising from the fact that these are mass produced and everything is interchangeable with no...

    Chocolate Pie is second best! If you want something to die for (or maybe kill for), My daughter's chocolate pie with a cheese cake on top, with a small scoop of Tillamook French vanilla ice-cream and some whipped cream is it. Just another reason I am Mad Michael

    PayPal users beware

    Dan You are missing both the Elephant and the Gorilla in the room. Simply put, THEY CAN. Why? because if you use paypal (or any other online buying, paying, money service) You give them that right. You have willingly volunteered for it and you have no legal recourse except to vote with you feet...

    Made a mistake (Graphic)

    Yes, It was referring to me, rightly so, in a manner worse than you can imagine. I do "skim" the other posts before posting but did not read in detail. Was brought up to admit my errors in full and to apologize appropriately, so I don't mind eating crow for my mistakes, so it was me. POSTS...

    Made a mistake (Graphic)

    I am very glad it all worked out for Bigpat and he is alive and functioning. It was very brave of him to post something so intensely personal so we can all take warning from it. I am seconding Cornstalk's suggestion to always carry a CAT tourniquet with you. If you can, take a "STOP THE...

    SOLD Hudson Bay style 3.5 point blanket $125+ shipping

    Very true, I have a wool blanket with the same pattern that was purchased from Monkey Ward's or Sears Roebuck back in the 50's. Heck, Knowing my family it could have come from the Green Stamp store. Have a couple others with different patterns, too.

    Making a Shooting Bag: Questions

    Gus: I, too, thought it was a sewn flat bag until I saw this notation on a photo the OP included: which seems to indicate that the author, at least, intended that pattern to be turned. He also further re-enforces this with the instructions to cut two of the front and the back. However If i...

    Cap not tight on nipple

    Elkhorse Am I missing something here, Have you tried a different nipple? On my CVA rifle I have the best luck with a Hot Shot Nipple and RWS Dynamit/nobel caps. Am I making the wrong assumption, are you taking about a single shot pistol or a revolver? If a revolver ignore above comment and...

    Tool question

    What Brokennock says is true. Without falling to far down a etymological hole, That particular punch is designed to produce one of the variations on a round braid lacing, all of which look something like this: note how the leather goes around the edge creating a new one. Stitching per se...

    Tool question

    As brokennock noted this particular one is for punching holes for lacing. They come in different widths on the chisels for different size lace. I've about 3 of that kind on my leather working bench. The lower end models have a tendency to bend if used in thick or stiff leather. Ones for...
