Summer Project?

Now that the weather is starting to break, what big projects are on your to do list this summer?

To walk down my street like a free man


MM

To live off someone else's money! Oh wait, I'm retired so I already am. Life is good.

Randy, you have been living off taxpayers' money for a LONG time! LOL

My weekly big project is mowing the grass! There are plenty of little things to work on around the house though.

Well OK. So I started in 1974 and, well I guess it hasn't ended yet! You're just jealous cause you didn't think of it.

You got me there!

Here's a few pics of a couple of sheaths I made for my MountainManDus, one Infi and one SR-77:

Oh man, I LOVE that Rat Fink Sheath! Oh and the knives are pretty nice as well. And really nice vine work on the other one.

Thank you; the "vine work" is actually oak leaves and acorns.;)

Well DUH. Didn't mean to insult you. Once I looked closer it is VERY apparent what they are. Got a Cataract in one eye and things are blurry out of the other unless I try "Concentrate" real hard.

Nice work, Tom!

Thanks Ray.

Ha, that one is not funny.

Not something that I miss.

Klink, you did a nice job on those sheathes. I like the Oak leaves one. But what is a Rat Fink?

Let me check with Patti and I ll get back with ya. The Honey Do List doesn't care about Corona 19 LOL

Dan

Oh the shame of a misspent youth. Rat Fink was an ICON in the late middle part of the last Century.

Geeze Tom. Next thing you know he'll be asking who MR. NATURAL was!

Kids! You can't live with them and you can't shoot them!

Well not legally. But I heard that a lot of parents are petitioning for an open season.

An "upside" to the virus???:)

Randy, I guess he never heard of "Google". LOL KIDS!!!

On my short list is to make a wireless tool charging station. Something like this.

Now THAT is sick! But I don't figure I need something like that what with my ONE Black and Decker drill.

I keep my power hand tools in a set of lockers discarded by Home Depot.

Gotta love those discards!

Here about two weeks ago Patty and I went on a marathon cleaning session of the garage/hoarder room. Went to Menards and bought some heavy duty (rated at 750 pounds, 150 per shelf) plastic shelving. We got three units with each one having 5 shelves. When we got back we only needed 4 high so we wound up with three full units of 4 shelves each and one with only 3 shelves. Well Monday I had to go back to town and stopped by Menards again. Was looking around and saw a SINGLE all by it's lonesome shelf setting in front of a 5 shelf display. Well I took it to one of the help desks and told the lady what I had found and where, and that we needed just one single shelf to have 4 complete 4 shelf units. She asked me to show her. I took her over and showed her where it was laying and she said it must have been an extra and I could just have it!

I would show you me doing my happy dance but I wouldn't want Y'all to go blind.

Oh and this week we tackled the Storage shed. A friend from Church took everything we were going to get rid of (2 10 ft. trailer loads) of stuff for a yard sale! Helped us both out. They can use the money and we got rid of our overflowing shed. Win Win!

Randy, I can just picture you doing the Walter Huston dance! LOL

Don't worry, Baptists can't dance. Which in this case IS a good thing.

That's OK, I'm not a Baptist but I can't dance either! LOL

Real nice work on those sheath Tom

Thanks Bill. I'm working on a COVID - 19 sheath now. I'm waiting for a leather stamp due in the mail so that I can finish it. I'm thinking about using it for my KlinkHammer whenever Busse sends them out. Seems appropriate as they were both announced so closely together. LOL

I bought my son in law one of those cheap manual leather sewing machines off of amazon for Christmas
He loves it
He just started making the sheaths this year

I bought one like this for him

Bill, that machine is really neat! I'm going to check out Amazon for one! Thanks for posting that thread!

Here's a link to motorizing the machine if you didn't go there.

Thanks Randy.

Always glad to help out another brother of steel.

Much appreciated.;)
