Yard Dawg

Wanted to provide an update: Decided to let Willis68 work his magic and man, did he do a great job! I’ve never had an edge this sharp! He also recommended a strop to maintain the edge, which is currently on order. So happy with the work done and his efforts to get it back to me so quickly! Very much appreciated!!!!!

What’s the average cost of having it done by a “pro”?

Thanks, but I like to keep it sharp all the time. Would prefer to do it myself. Just not sure which sharpener would be worth the “investment”.

Hey guys, Looking into purchasing a good sharpener for my Benchmade S30V folding knife. Thoughts?

Thanks. I’m very fortunate to have a good friend with some property that I can run drills and such. Other than that it’s Owl Hollow and/or Franklin Range.

Sure. I’m in Spring Hill.

Thanks brother! I really appreciate your comments! Be happy to let you run a few through it sometime!

Thanks! Grip/control is excellent! I used a dremel to cut the borders and shape the trigger guard. I also did the “glove” cut. (Ramp entering the trigger.) Then, LOTS of sanding and polishing. After that I used a wood burner for the pattern.

Thank you sir. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Hey guys, Don't really post much on here but do visit just about every day. Wanted to share some of the work I've done to a Gen3 26. Not sure how everyone feels about the stippling but I'm real happy with it. Pretty new to this polymer "enhancement" stuff so feedback is welcome. (only my 3rd attempt) Planning to add some durakote "dark bronze" here pretty soon but here are a few pics in the meantime.

We'll do pretty much anything but glass. Cleaning up is just part of the exercise. And I didn't mention that we mostly practice pistol.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this thread but was just curious what everybody uses for targets. Whenever I shoot I'm with at least one of my kids and I try and make it interesting and challenging. Our latest idea involves soda cans. We tie some string between to tree limbs and then use the tabs on the cans to hold them in place. Like so..... We'll also do some excercises where we'll call out a brand to hit and the shooter has to identify the right can and aim quickly. With teenagers in the house, soda cans are plentiful and the hits are easily seen. Although it's difficult to adjust your aim since misses aren't visible. Anyway, we enjoy it and I was wondering if anyone else had creative target ideas as well. Steve

My son showed this to me last night. Don't think I'd want to shoot it. Especially with all that powder in the handle! It's a Lorenzoni 7-shot Flintlock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_hnC6x036Q

In, like Errol Flynn!  :pleased:

  Thanks man.  That pic is about 3 yrs old.  She's got about 195k miles on her now. But I'm still enjoying it!!

I've got an old tired '95 XJ. Love it! But it's pretty worn out. I hope to have enough coin to pick up a '99/2k soon. (one that's actually worth washing!) I'll check out the new site!

Ok, I'll jump in here with one of my (hobby) or passion... Building scale models. I look at them as 3d paintings and a way to "engineer" interesting displays as well as pay tribute to the veterans that have gone before. P51D of the 55th FG A4C Skyhawk M4 Sherman The tank was featured in a Scale Modeling magazine several years ago. I'll compete in some local competitions every now and I have a couple displayed in various museums... But mostly, I just have a mini-museum at the house! Steve

Unfortunately, the next victim of this will be the person that finds themselves being assaulted by a different young, angry,  black racist and they hesitate because of the hell they saw Zimmerman go through.

Thanks for all the info guys! I now have a much better understanding of the issue. Much appreciated.   I can see myself at some point doing my own reloads.   Thanks for everyone's thoughts on the topic!  

I did a quick search but didn't see anything that answered directly.   I keep hearing different people tell me that they would NEVER run reloads through their gun. But, none of them have ever told me what was so 'bad' about it.   I noticed a lot of you on this site seem to make your own reloads so thought maybe you could shed some light on the pros/cons.       Would like to hear everyone's opinion.   Steve  

Signed up a couple of days ago but haven't been able to introduce myself til now.   I probably know some of you already from the TNspeed site awhile back.   Not really comfortable listing what I have on the internet but look forward to participating in this group.     Steve
