Found a new use for my kiln. Cremating our pets when they pass. Interesting on so many levels.
A hour at 2000 degrees is better than the $150 our vet charged.
I don't spend much money on much, and when i do it better be what I think it is. I tend to buy tools, both power and hand. Power can be gas, electric, or air driven. With those I have expectations for lasting the rest of my life.
With far less than I have now I can live with no problems, till the Govt wants fee's and taxes.
Because as a child knives were taboo and guns werent, I have a fair colection of switchblade.
A switch blade isn't better than a letter opener, but I still like them.
I have a few other user blades and my bowie was out to play today. I traded a pint of maple syrup for 15 new lodge poles on the hoof. No power tools used today. Next comes peeling, and no power tools can be used for that either. The bark gets used as tinder/kindeling, since these poles are Balsum Fir. Makes poor soil.
Oh if you ever see Pexto brand edged tools buy them, mista' that's some wicked decent steel. I had that shingle hatchet out today too, and that one sports a stripped hickory handle. I just happened on a new handle that way in the local grain store, and had it been plain the pexto would be wearing a white mountian ash handle made by my own hand. I am too far north for hicory trees.
That garand was issued in 1 war and 2 Police actions if you count Korea and Nam as a Police action.
Since he ain't flippin burgers on th e porch all the time for grins, I'ld give him 59 to 67 years, since yer not sayin. A refined proper gentileman, with a fine eye for real wood fitted to real blue parts. He probably likes the Glock for it's ugly simplicty, if he isn't telling you lies.
That's how I feel about my AK's. Ugly, ill fitting parts, but I can soak them in a lake and it will shoot filled with mud if I want them too.
He is accustomed to highly machine parts made from forgings. More and more a lost art.
My Dad if he were alive would be in his mid 80 's. A lot of him has rubbed off on me too, but we didn't get much time in life to spend with one another. I am 59.
