Nice setup for the money! and not MIC!

I'm guessing the lights indicated "in use for the party line"?

Cool find Duane!

Wow, now we have 3 members I know of that are getting decent results with home plating: Eel/Dave, Timm, and now Hans! Well done!

Can you post some pics of your plating setup and detail the chem/electrical process?

But for something with a flame, A wiki, but IIR the ones with mantle like an Aladdin can get, relativity speaking, "noisy".

I also need to thank Volvoguy and Randy as I was able to ride Randy's coattails on this for both a Rayo and a B&H (Bradley & Hubbard) spreaders I needed, (B&H made both)

Very nice C2C! I have a similar knife bought for similar reasons: It's markings are "Colonial" and "Prov. R.I. U.S.A." and has "Cub Hunter" on the blade. https://i.postimg.cc/TwH0vQFr/L-Tahoe-Knife-a.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/8k7QJYpg/L-Tahoe-Knife-b.jpg Your sheath is much nicer than mine, and mine ...

Cool sign!

A close friend's son had or has a contract in PS for picking up road kill deer. Makes decent money at it.

Those offset vices are cool. common Down Under, tough to find here in the states.

Need details C2C!

Honing oil is always a good find, (note this is just food grade mineral oil or butcher block oil - all the same.

My oldest daughter used to take pics of pay phones as she noticed they were (and are) disappearing - almost all gone now. She still does on occasion - sometimes its just an empty booth, or wall shell thing. I can remember seeing rows of pay phone booths in some public places like airports and hotels...

I joined this forum in '16, and have never heard of that vendor before. I don't FB. Thanks you for the heads-up! I've also been here a awhile and Same: No FB - and had not known of him. Just as a reminder of a posting from the other day... If you use the "search" box at the top of each page you can...

That's a good example of how easy it is to have a really nice tool for just a little elbow grease and paint. Very nice job making it right again Lynn! Yep, "Back in the day", these were cheap. The Stanley clamp-ons are also very nice and those were made for decades. A guy I know that refurbishes vis...

Nice Fulton Lynn! How long ago did you get your 1825 vise and where? Small high quality vises like that go for premium $$ on Eprey these days. If you get lucky, you might find one at an estate or yard sale, but those deals are getting fewer and further between these days. I do see deals for 3 to 5" ...

I picked up a "Wards Deluxe Quality" Anvil vise this am; Homeowner's construction for the main screw and slide, the slide is riveted in place which is a first for me - it should be stronger that way. 3-1/2" jaws, flat replaceable jaw plates, (Phillips head screws interestingly - these are usually st...

I took a drive to my old stomping grounds near my mom's old house for a HS Flea that does well. Some prices are stupid high, but I just leave those behind. (2X today) I didn't see any GPA, and the wickies i saw I wasn't interested in, so more camp related items at least for the most part. Right off,...

Holy crud Tim! You killed it!

Prison literacy - just appalling!

Dang, too late... I would have been all over this.

Great start! For a "User" either a 425 or a 423 will do, are you cooking for one or? for one or even two, a 425 is fine, you just need to find/use smaller pots/pans. if cooking for more, then the 413 or even a 3 burner 426. I've been using a 425 for years for my "big" stove, and a KK #3 for my small...

For home decorating, I try to let SWMBO do "her thing" as much as possible, but she's also pretty cool about "My Space" and some things I do she also likes.

Thanks Dan.

Nope!

Yes, big time, the extreme droughts have been declared over for all areas of CA, with an exception for ground water recovery - that will take years...

Hopefully some of this got to Oregon and Timm's area as well

I have a couple of NOS unfired unlit. any rebuild is lit. The rebuild, no matter how fine, is still a rebuild and not unfired.

Awesome Pancho!

Wow, you must be getting lot more rain than I have Pancho. My rain gauge shows 1-1/2" since this storm series hit a few days ago. Minimal in the past 24 hours.

The internal end of the pump tube is in the fuel - as mentioned there is a snorkel for making sure the check valve sees air and not fuel - but that is plumbing not positioning. The snorkel could be mis-positioned, or have fallen off. The tube could be cracked is the check valve itself leaking? Is it...

Vguy, what you need is a box similar to Rusty's "Upright' box, with a base clamp. Then, once that is secure, you could even close and carry the box, but also its safe from direct contact burns. One of the older metal cases might also work, but it needs to be "front loading" so to speak. A guillotine...

Nice boxes! That second one looks like it could take a full gallon of CF.

But Toby, can you get the big hat on there?
