That thing looks amazing. You did some awesome work man. That thing is gonna get a lot of use on these cold winter nights in the woods

Ballpark? Without having any pictures, or other info, $500 is right around average for a great to excellent condition 1918 MK1 with good scabbard. High price would be $650-700 for perfection, $200 for an unrestored orginal in fair shape. These are all rough guesstimate, nothing concrete.

Collins and Council both marked their axes like that. The 3 1/2 should be the weight. Put a good quality edge and a fresh handle in that sucker and you'll enjoy a good quality made axe for years.i love old axes, we have 10 or 15 single, double, broad and hewing axes, and they are all older than 40 years.

Can't wait. I haven't watched since the first season, anywhere I can get caught up?

South Clinton Pawn are some great guys to work with. Congrats on the find

After spending 5 years rolling in the dirt in USMC cif gear I am more than happy to train as minimalist as possible. Good pants long sleeve shirt and a hat. This guy makes excellent points

Who made these two holsters?

I'm looking for pictures of 1911 holsters to help me better decide what I want. I'm 99% sure I want leather and owb, I'm just trying to figure out exact look And options now before I have one made custom. Thanks for any pictures guys.

My first fast vehicle was a 2005 GMC pickup truck. Duramax diesel, Intake, exhuast, nitrous, EFI live. 613 whp, 1000+ ft lbs of tq. 12 second 1/4 miles clicked off in 4 wheel drive at 7300 lbs My second toy was a 2004 Subaru WRX wagon. Bigger Turbo, injectors, major tuning, coilovers, clutch, Hoosier road race slicks, lots of suspension and chassis braces. 320 whp, would destroy most cars in the twistiest roads and more than held its own on the straights. And it got dirty on the weekends Those toys have been sold, and I'm currently on a semi hunt. As soon as I get in a better position financially I wanna build an old 4 speed muscle car, if I can find something that isn't ungodly expensive.

I've set up camps and stuff on my land, and pretty soon Ill be doing a forum shoot. Only rule is trash has to be picked up Sent from behind my anvil in ye olde smithy

Ive been given: 2 large pieces of titanium for forge work Red333 A box full of old files by- Peejam A bucket of old hoof rasp by Sour Kraut and Dolomite 3 pieces of nice hardwood for handles by Symbolic A piece if railroad track- DLM A Springfield Armory 1911 gi with accesories and ammo- jcj A vendor membership- TGO David A few large needles and thread for my bob by Mark@sea Several deer hides, moccasions, and other buckskinner gear by Dave S A knife throwing target stand by timestepper A free professinal photgraphy session by minigungal, and two other offers from members here for the same. And sam1 has offered me a large flex shaft buffer for use on my knives. No where else is this kind of kindness and generosity existent except TGO Thanks TGO, you guys have been the push that has made my blacksmith and forge work, and I could never repay all the kindness, but I will continue to try my best too.

Most military I know, including every helicopter pilot I ever flew with, which was alot of them, wore a vertical because a horizontal, especially with the grip angleing down, automatically flags everyone behind you, which is not a way to make friends Sent from behind my anvil in ye olde smithy

If I happened to know how to make alchol in a still, and do it without hassel, I would advise you to study up on it real good. Its not as important for fuel, but homemade liquor is an art form. If your not producing mass quantites I wouldnt be to worried about the legalites. Keep it jnder ten gallons at a time, label as fuel, and you'll be fine. Sent from behind my anvil in ye olde smithy

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1357087981' post='874497']Yeah, but he said three years ago. I haven't seen an A1 in the hands of a Soldier since '99, and that was a REMF Guard guy. Hell, you can't even get the correct ammo to fire out of an A1 anymore. M855 starts tumbling before 25m out of a 1/12 twist barrel. Seen it myself.[/quote] He actually just said 3 years and he is 51 years old according to profile. I assumed he meant 3 years in a row, probably not 3 years ago Sent from behind my anvil in ye olde smithy

[quote name='vujade' timestamp='1357020825' post='873843']Any of these movies 'get you into a gun'? I shared in my post above what got me into 1911s. This isn't a movie but the game "Red Dawn Redemption" got me into lever actions. =)[/quote] The good, the bad and the ugly gave me an obssesion for 1851 Navys. Lead to this rig before it was over. Course mine were cap and ball, and I sold them to my brother in law soon after. Still want a cartridge conversion one to replace them. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee356/tnplowboy07/holster5.jpg Sent from behind my anvil in ye olde smithy
