In the background is the 8 holsters I need to sew up. Also Rifle scabbard plans.

Were you testing out the high-temp paint outdoors Duke?

Or is that what it came painted in?

Naw. You have to burn these in before putting them in a tent and using them or you'll gas yourself out of the tent. The paint stinks to no end until you burn them in.
I'm on my fourth stove in this life time..........
Eventually they end up with a nice black patina which then I just coat them with EVOO to keep them from rusting.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil = EVOO

Is it hard to find Virgin Olives??

in my younger days on the farm I cut a lot of wood with one of those. before using wax it good with mother's car wax. I have one like that on the back porch. it does not look as nice. I also have one with the finer teeth for hard woods. you can get replacement handles from Lehman's.

This will have to dry over night due to the tension on the 1/4" Maple rib.

Yep, I've been running crosscut since I was 18. Wilderness area's and Summer Fire Hazard area's will not let you use a chain saw.

I like your jointing tool. I have the same one, but different sets. I file 4 or 5 saws a year. Not a job I particularly enjoy but it pays well.

[Walter Laich]

do you inherit these items or find and buy them?
.
BTW: great work

We use to have one that my grandfather gave to us.We never used it much as a 4ft Buck saw was much easier to work with.My brother may have it but I think when my mother sold and moved from the old place it was left for some one else.

I remember when my dad purchased a Disston 2 man 2 cylinder chain saw. We sure cut a lot of wood and trees with it. Dads been gone for 22 years but we still have the saw at the farm.

Antiquing from years ago.

The four bulges in the pic are grommet bosses. Complete thickness of the case is 3/4 inch. Anyone know where you can get grommets that will accommodate 3/4 inch?
I'm going to put a fifth grommet at the toe end of the case also.
The top half of the case will be glued on today.

I'm in need of a Gibbs Jointer if anyone has one.

So then the stove goes into one of the tents we picked up years ago for running a guide/packer/outfitter service.
But that was before some malevolent entity decided they were going to feed 80% of the Elk and Moose in N. ID & WA to the Wolves....... Looks like were going to go make cows now but we can still go hunting back in our neck of the woods.
I ask the fools that were in charge of Game Management what their jobs were. They said Game Management...... Looks like to me there is no more game to manage by the works of your hands and you put yourselves out of a job. What! did you eat paint chips off the wall as a child or were you parents brother and sister? But of course they were just doing what they were told to do..........

Here's a pic of myself with the old ball and chain. <sigh>
