    Plum any good for making pistol grips?

    OK, so where is the best place to dry it? An attic that is likely 120-degrees most days this summer, a garage that is probably 85 to 90-deg, or under a bed in the house in the AC at say 73-deg? I have a bandsaw and the pieces are no more than say 8-inches diameter so I can cut this any way...

    Plum any good for making pistol grips?

    We just had a thunderstorm roll through and it took out a plum tree that I had planted when our younger daughter was born (she is 17 now). I don’t have a chainsaw as my father has a bunch and I normally just borrow one but this was small enough I chopped it up with an axe. In the process I...

    Dietz kerosene lanterns. Advice/recommendations for newbie?

    I am pretty sure the current ones are made in China. With that said, they are inexpensive and work great. I personally like the Air Pilot model and probably have 6 of them along with spare parts. I have only used two, the other two are for emergency use or to replace the ones I am using if...

    Temporary Emergency lights

    Kerosene has fallen out of favor but for any longer power outage it’s my primary plan too. I do use some smaller lamps that use lamp oil (doesn’t stink), then big lamps that use kerosene. Also have two kerosene heaters and spare wicks in case we ever couldn’t use the furnace and our gas...

    Rich beyond my dreams

    I out smarted them. I gave them my bank name, routing and account number as well as bank online password and told them to direct deposit it. I haven’t checked yet this week but last week the deposit didn’t clear but I am sure it will. :lol:

    No one proofreads

    I prefer Fox News over the others but they are absolutely terrible. Their articles online commonly are incomplete sentences, thoughts or so ambiguous you have to guess what the author meant to say. Then, those idiots can never get the correct video linked. They will say something like...

    Saggy flashlights?

    And I remember once being a wise ass and packed a 1 million CP spotlight and a motorcycle battery coon hunting with my dad. He got one treed with the hounds and my brother and I broke it out without my father knowing what we had brought. Lit the tree up great but the coon scurried to the...

    Florida building collapse

    I think they probably took some shortcuts and used more explosives and took out more with explosives than normal. If there could be survivors still, they didn’t have much choice but pack it heavy and risk the flying debris to get it down quick so they can continue the search.

    Camp stove recommendation

    The question is a bit open ended as the Coleman 2-burners are nice but if you really want to enjoy cooking the camp chef units are a whole lot better! https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/camp-chef-explorer-2-burner-camp-stove With this you can add a griddle top, oven and others to get the most out...

    AR500 ARMOR STEEL Vs. 150 Ton Hydraulic Press

    Like the guy said at the end, they need to make tools out of that steel!

    Is Expensive 22 Ammo Worth It?

    Cheap bulk pack ammo has far more duds than better ammo too. I don’t use cheap bulk ammo for matches because it is less accurate and too meany dead rounds.

    $270.00 fer a head light??

    Our home central AC unit crashed last week and was making a terribly noise. Cost is $149 for the service call and diagnosis and all the guy did was open the unit and found the brazing on the center lug broke and the central hub was spinning without the fan. He called the office and to get...

    Anybody use a Dillon Square Deal to load 45 Colt?

    Ok, thank you. I figure if it handles 45 Colt then anything smaller will be easier but after 9mm and 45acp the handgun round I shoot most is 45 Colt

    Anybody use a Dillon Square Deal to load 45 Colt?

    I just picked up a Square Deal B and it came with 9mm and 45acp setups and I am going to start there. I am curious though does anybody use it for the bigger handgun rounds like 357, 44mag, 45 Colt or possibly 454 Casull? Honestly it might be moot for the 454 Casull as I have the dies for my...
