mail call,

some leather supplies and belt material, as well as a speedy stitcher ( the best stitching device in my opinion for heavy materials) 

M.J.Lampert

scott, that's enough to make a redneck grimace and say its unsafe

nice fish i would love to get out on the ocean, but you know money is always a problem...

Shainarue, as a fellow beginner remember slow is smooth, smooth is fast

trying to go fast will cause you to produce low quality items, take your time at the start and get it right

not much shop time recently but hope to get hammering again before Ii disappear from civilization for three months (yeah)

M.J.Lampert

ok so you'd be printing pla positives and then melting them out from the casting material

one thing i recommend is to buy cyber monday i bought my ender 5 pro on blak friday $100 off cyber monday they droped an extra 50 and that's on a $600 printer. the only problems ive had so far is user error

I prefer the one second from right 

ok all nice heard lots of good on all three. My opinion is depending on what the fancy new thing coming out is its best to leave it for a year so all the problems can come out (ie ender 7 high print speed that rarely gets there)

M.J.Lampert

how about the time i was asked to fill the oil tank on a truck, little did I know that this one was under the cylinder not like the other trucks that had it on the passenger side. so half a bucket of hydraulic fluid went into the diesel tank...

what type of printer you planning to get?

the arches had a circumference within 1/2" of eleven feet.

Wouldn't the circumference be 22' or are you talking arc length?

you are both right

Rojo you are thinkin full circle while JHCC was talking about semicircular arches (half of the circle)

C= 2*pi*r so 2*3.14*3.5=21.98 about 22' half of that is the 11' that JHCC had

just a highschool math lovers 2 cents

one thing I love about these situations is that hindsight is always 20/20 and laughter is the best medication

yes, but I'm not crazy enough to get out every month. From May to September (maybe October) I love going out for rainbows and lake trout (char) bull trout(another char) and brook trout are also common here, along with kokanee. in August and September they open a season for sockeye salmon with varying limits (depends on how many fish come up). might get a chance for northern pike this year.

frosty I might be interested in the carbonated maple syrup, though I'll pass on the mustards

M3F that looks very nice and a definite rustic feel

M.J.Lampert

Yuk, they have circles to get in the circle inside the circle, just give me a grass trail a pack of food and two horses and I'll see when I see ya

As a rule, on April 1, we change winter tires to summer tires. And this morning -10 C.

in British Columbia, Canada you can keep your winter tires until May 1st, most people run them to mid or end of april depending on the year most trucks run all seasons

George, I will be possibly using a few copper rivets but for the most part it will be done with a speedy stitcher. As these are working chaps (and i have little experience working with leather) I don't plan to go fancy: my initials, possibly my makers mark design and a few animals/heads 

see below for a possible idea for the right side

started cutting out the leather for a pair of chaps last night now to find some hardware I like (or possibly make) and do some light tooling 

M.J.Lampert

funny thing is today I just went and did the plug wires to get rid of a misfire on my car (2000 gmc Jimmy) and some exhaust work last week now to pass my driving test on Monday and I can move on my own (oh, and get some better tires for the summer)

donniev those look very nice

love the idea hey maybe i can finally turn out a bottle opener that works

not a bad idea, I was trying to decide what song to play and now I have another on the list

the last Saskatchewan pirate

copperhead road

the hammer and the anvil (by the longest johns)

thank God I'm a country boy

big bad  john 

also have you ever heard "little bitty big john

M.J.Lampert It's a 1500 2wd short bed with a v6 and a Gen Z Anti Theft Device, I mean Standard Transmission, which surprised the heck out of me.  A very pleasant surprise.

I always heard that as a millennial anti theft (either way it wont keep this teenager from driving it ). 

M.J.Lampert

Paul TIKI, what size? 2500 short box? nice brand choice

look beautiful, love the contrast

Arke, I used mineral oil on the second try and screwdrivers both times. also I upped it to #8 rather than #6 which originally snapped

now that this project is done hopefully i can get back to a few smithing projects I have started 

wonderful work every one

got this project finished for my school woodworking course now to try and learn how to play
