Sounds good Matt. Keep me posted. The leather sheath is crumbling on my current one.


Have a good day Clint. Hope it's warming up a little for you. It's getting better here. But like Tony said we'll be trading warmth for rain.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Take care.

Mild rainy Saturday sounds like a perfect time to be in the shop wrenching on Old Iron.

Got all my parts for the press today. Just gotta do some cutting and set it up and order some kydex and rivets and such. Got any idea what color kydex you want, or how you want it to unsheath?

Anyone going to the game today? 4 hours, long beer lines and a few hundred bucks is too much for me. But I'll be rooting from home in my lucky Wesley walls jersey.

That's got to help :-)

how you want it to unsheath?
I was thinking of two ways to do it. One would be just a blade cover and use cord or leather to hold it on. Two would be a form fitted "shoe" that can be slipped on and off and held on by natural tension. Color unimportant. Rivets would need to be copper if used. Would I need to bring you my hatchet or could I mail it. More details can be discussed over the phone or email if you'd prefer.


Anyone going to the game today?
I watched the miserable game. What a let down. Defense alone can't win a super bowl title. Cam needs to grow up. He needs to stop being an emotional pinball and start being a leader. There's always next year.



Hope everyone has a good week. Take care.

Chiming in

I thought I'd stop in and see how everybody is doing. I haven't been on here in month's, but I'm you Missouri transplant member. We've been in NC just over a year now and have been busy. Still trying to sell the house in Missouri, I've had a heart scare (I just turned 50), a joint replacement surgery, and have replaced my 2001 F150 that I've driven for almost 12 years.
So how's everybody doing.

Unk Bob

Hi Bob, Sorry to hear about the heart scare. Bummer about still having the home on the market. Hope the wife's job is going well. How is the new truck treating you? I don't work far from you if you are in the same place. Be glad to have lunch sometime. Or you could try to make a dinner one month. We'd be happy to have you. Keep us posted. Take care.

Yup still in the same place, wife's job is going great, love the newer truck. We bought a used 2011 Super Crew 4x2, had less than 19K on the odometer. This is the first vehicle that was my personal set of wheels that has gotten better than 16mpg. We made a trip to Biltmore Estates in November and actually got 21.8 mpg.
Heart is better, but I'm taking pills in the morning like they were M&M'S, but doing the trick.
I'm watching the dinner schedule get together. I tried to get there that month that we moved in, but there was still too much going on then, had only been here a few weeks.
Hope Y'all are doing ok.

Unk Bob
