Magic the Gathering. Fantasy card game I use to play and collect.  He would get the better deal value wise but for me the supplies and tools I would get is better then the dust they collect now and only worth more if had someone that would pay but I know the guy as well and he has wanted for years. he knows I want a welder haha 

Congratulations BillyB  love the name.

Enjoy the greatest natural high of the human emotions  welcoming a new family member. 

on a different note believe I am about to trade 2 sets of cards for welder and welding supplies cant wait for slow season get everything together. just need get over sentimental value of cards lol.

knife looks great cant wait see etch. 

no worries life is busy I get it.

just noticed some these replies still learning. it is a piece of oak from my knowledge. I guess I chose wrong word when said seal just scorching help deter bugs. was thinking about BLO to seal base but for now having the timber is a step closer fine tune later just want to start. will use ground if needed. just finally got some rigidizer going to coat again and fire once high pressure hose is delivered. all been a process but learning every step of the way. hope hose arrives soon.

Absolutely amazing all I can say.

love it nice work!

I like the blade just I have never personally used one with handles angled that way. do you know what he using for?

Wife wont let me use any kind of trap to deal with him so I have to find and seal his entry.

Sindoc use cayenne pepper make your cupboard spicy and no squirrels will visit. most pests cant stand capsasin from peppers. Can make a pepper spray and wont kill just deter that friend you have but dont want.

only in those pesky evergreen forests that resin can get rather sticky. but I did burn some birch bark tonight and kept the bugs at bay. got halfway done with the 2nd burn on my stump.

hahaha I love the heat guess your stuck with me 

Frosty no apologies needed. no harm taken at all I have a feeling me and you would get along rather well and stir the pot a little too much haha. I have enjoyed every word I have read that you have written and knowledge is ever growing. I was trained in an old school kitchen by an old school chef words will never cause me to turn away that old saying if you cant take the heat get out the kitchen makes me wonder if it came from your ability to take the abuse from those guys. haha keep on keeping me on my toes and educating me I am listening. 

And yeah maybe double check world moves fast now ...... and yes i was talking about the valve that time that you recommended 

I did look at that site only listed 2 high pressure hoses a 10ft and 20ft both rubber.  I saw the valve and knob which i want but want to compair some prices. I am also a little computer dumb so will re visit site and double check. I always listen Frosty just like to see all fronts before I conquer. your words are never unheard. Gandalf the green has ears in every forest......

definitely recommend a hose with a pressure control, a gauge, and a braided cover on the hose, like this one:
