Cool

Very nice. Now thats how you forge on the cheap. If i can find a way ill ship you a ft of track for an anvil

[quote name='Fingersoup' timestamp='1354500927' post='854015'] Have you thought about making one where the whole thing is a solid piece of metal? Maybe make it like a full tang design or wrapped handle.

Those look good. How are you doing your heat treatments?

Ive always used the img link like this: Edit doesnt work for me now either... hmmm

This is the wrapped eye. Working on better forge welds to ensure they are just as bombproof as my knives. I gave this one to the young man with me, unclejaks son. [IMG]http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee356/tnplowboy07/2012-11-18_15-42-25_383.jpg[/IMG]

Ive made one, a wrapped eye rasp hawk.

I didnt mean a wired connection, I miss spoke. I meant connecting to a normal 3g/4g phone network

When I said network I meant the 3g/4g network. I guess ill tell him tge note 2 is his only option for now

I have a friend looking into tablet options, but has been some stipulations. He wants an android OS, he wants it to be able to run off a network, not just a wi fi connection, and here the one I dont know. He wants a tablet that can call and text with its own normal phones number. is there anything like that other than the Note 2 phablet. Like a 7-10"+ normal tablet that works as a phone? Thanks guys

Id love to get a uberti, but its low on the list of needs

If I remember right thats the way it worked. It just sent me a code to redeem, and I redeemed it and it credited me the money

Thats how I got my membership from a friend here. He just bought a gift and sent it to me

[quote name='R_Bert' timestamp='1354319538' post='853130'] very nice! Do you also make knives from horse-shoes ? (Saw some at the gunshow, mentioned in other thread) [/quote] Yes ive made a few, they are fun to make. I answered in the other thread too.

[quote name='R_Bert' timestamp='1354319208' post='853124'] Spots, do you do knives from horseshoes ? I saw some over at the gunshow that looked interesting (in form), so I thought of you. Bert [/quote] Yeah Ive made a few from them. They are fun lil knives.

I spent a few days this week building up some stock to sell. I present to you my interpation of the bowie knife Jim Bowie used on the sandbar. All accounts of the original knife point towards a heavy guardless butcher knife with a sharpened clip point. These are made from horse hoof rasp, with pirpleheart handles on a full tang. The smaller one is 9.5" long blade. I forgot to get measurments on the larger one.

I have limited internet right now, but Ill post a short response. That was the craziest, coolest test ever. I built that knife on a whim a few years ago, and always liked the feel of it, though it looked funky. You are a crazy man Dave, and a very entertaining writer. While I encourage hard use, Im afraid I can't warranty a broken handle due to a hammer strike lol. Though I do believe a good paracord wrap and that one might just be unbreakable..... Thanks for the amazing test, and hopefully your lil buddy overcomes his fear of explosives soon....

Me and a buddy spent a day making some blanks. These are all getting final ground tomorrow, then handled this weekend. We made two medium full tang bowies, a tanto point, a small edc skinner, and a kirdashi japanese style utility knife. The lil knife is a perfect edc work knife, sharper and sturdier than a box cutter, and great for multipile task.

Mine isn't a big poster, and no great info to speak of som im having issues too

He was wrong to wait, and to shoot the girl execution style. That points to mental instability, and serious problems. He needs to do some jail time, as well as a lot of corrective therapy. [quote name='cardcutter' timestamp='1354043586' post='851465'] ""Castle Doctrine" never even entered my mind. He was in no danger and should never have fired to begin with. I dont see how that could even remotely come into play. Basicly this fool shot unarmed tresspassers. [/quote] However, I disagree with the above post about the fact that he shouldn't have shot. A trespasser in my house is an unknown threat. If your in in my house without invitation, I will automatically assume you are there to do me and my family harm, and you will be dealt with accordingly. That doesn't mean I'm gonna shoot you, then walk up and blow your brains out while you lie there defenseless. As far as shooting to stop a threat vs shooting to kill, I'm shooting where I've trained. Center Mass of the target until the threat stops being a threat, either incapctitaed, wounded, or dead. These kids broke into a house, and they got killed for it. I shed no tears for someone like that. They were in the wrong, and while he shouldn't have shot them execution style, and waited to call the cops, they brought this on themselves by electing to break into the house to begin with. As I always say, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Their age has nothing to do with it. They were in a house uninvited, and ran into some who refused to be a victim. They are dead because of their own actions

[quote name='buck1032' timestamp='1354049760' post='851526'] I wasnt able to get to the challenge this morning (too much time wasted on the phone dealing with other issues). Now have my son doing his homework so I can start dinner. So it looks like the challenge with be done first thing in the morning. [/quote] I look forward to it. Kinda wanna see how the Khukri cuts it, I have no doubts it'll do it , just wondering how a heavy chopping blades will do with a speed challenge

Russian drivers are awesome

When you pick up your accent and natural slang to the point that California people can no longer understand anymore than half what you say. When I first got stationed in San Diego, I had to repeat myself very often....
