  1. You could add a shank to the front and make an articulated muddler! Just spin up the deer head on the shank.
  2. Take a ride up to Mass, treehouse brewing in Charlton on route 20, rated #1 microbrewery on east coast. Worth the trip. They do mild ales to barley wines and they do them all good.
  3. I had never considered a pump action. I will put that one on my list.
  4. Looks like a great time! I live on the wrong coast. You will be eating well for a while.
  5. I will end up buying 2 22’s. The single shot is more of a nostalgia thing for me. No intention of putting thousands of rounds thru it. Plinking and teaching my daughter accuracy one shot at a time. The other will end up either being a magazine or tube feed to carry Multiple rounds. I like the tube feed idea because you are not limited to just lr.
  6. I checked out their sight, nice new stuff. I am really interested in the vintage. It was old when i was young. I will check out the 41 if i cant locate the others near by. Saw a sweet us military training 1885 single shot 22 short but it was 1200$. Far out of my budget.
  7. I am looking for a single shot 22 for fun and to bring back memories from my childhood. Anyone have experience with Stevens/Springfiels/Savage models 15a/b or 120a? I was trying to find a bolt action similar to what my late uncle had when we were kids. Bolt action that had to be cocked by pulling back a knob at the rear of the bolt. I know there are plenty of these out there.
  8. Mark that is too nice to ever carry let alone use, amazing craftsmanship. The owner will cherish that as will his heirs.
  9. I am not much of a fresh water fish eater but i do pan fry haddock and enjoy that very much. Keep up the good work James.
  10. Great fish James! Sadly we don’t have fish like that where i am. Someday i hope to fish up there.
  11. I like the jaw set up. Its like the 3000 series renzetti. I believe Byron did not like the vise because of its size, said it was scaled down to around 3/4 of a standard vise. Which is ok unless you have oven mitts for hands like i do. Would have liked to see it in person though. Jan tvrdek makes some unusual vises in croatia.
  12. Landon i have had multiple vises on my bench for years, Right now i only have two, my original and my Nor-vise. I use the old one to hold flies i am duplicating or i use it to prop up something to block the mess on my bench when trying to take a picture.
  13. You need to make friends with a machinist! Someone who can keep your vises up and running! My suggestion is to get a regal because not many screws for you to overtighten.
  14. Mark it funny sometimes people surprise you with bidding. I have bought things for fractions of retail prices and seen items go over retail. Especially with fly tying items.
  15. This is on craigslist by me, not a bad price.
  16. Up over 85$ now. I would not be surprised if it goes over retail.
  17. How rough are you being with vises? Only thing i ever broke were pivot pins on the lever of my thompson 360 slt. Sounds like your putting too much pressure on the threads or cranking them too tight. Too much pressure holding a hook can cause the metal threads to tear out. I like the regal suggestion for you, Go with the stainless jaws. Or go with a simple vise like the peak rotary and go easier on the knobs.
  18. I have bottles of shhn that are almost 20 years old and are still good. I’ve been searching for a good nitro-cellulose lacquer locally but have not had luck, Thinking of hitting a rockler woodworking supply as the big box places dont carry the good stuff.

    New foal

    My daughter wants him/her
  20. I suffer from constant tyers block. My creativity level is below 0. I stick to fairly easy stuff when i can’t think. Gurglers, and other foam creatures.
  21. I have this same one as well. Love it. Use it all the time.

    Gardens?

    I have a tiny city back yard. I may end up with 8 tomato plants, 1 zucchini 1 summer squash, half dozen cucumber plants, beans and chili peppers. Not a lot but it does feed us a bit
  24. My gel float container has a hole for a zinger! Forgot i had this.
  25. Its not costing you anything if you enjoy tying on it!
