  1. Thats right. Really, it's pretty much a soldering iron with removable tips. I've tried different shaped tips, but I find the standard wedge tip gets the job done just fine.
  2. Thanks. I've done some larger pieces, but with transferred pictures and not freehand like those. I'm currently working on some pieces for the USS Iowa Veterans Association, on actual planks of old teak decking from the ship.
  3. Playing The Long Dark? Nope. Time for crying infant. Will is so lucky.
  4. To borrow from the character, Enid, in The Walking Dead. "Just survive somehow."
  5. Yeah Privi Partisan is my go-to commercially made round for that rifle. As I recall, they're in Serbia ( Formerly Yugoslavia), so they're probably the best tooled for the 8mm round right now, and particularly for the M24/47. I refinished it a few years ago. The worst was getting the cosmoline out of the wood. I also had to stain the upper handguard to match the walnut stock. After that, smoothed and polished it with some really fine grade sandpaper, and finished it with Lin-Speed.
  6. Yeah, I can see Wisconsin getting deeper snow than North Carolina.
  7. Wind howls in my face Hug the cliff wall for shelter Come on, fire. Come on.
  8. From the side, the 2nd one looks like it was made of giant marshmallows. In painkiller induced delusions, Will would probably literally try to eat himself out of house and home. And yeah, with a decent fire, it was pretty good. -Naturally, with a hole to vent the smoke.
  9. Yugoslavian M24/47 Mauser rifle. I don't shoot it as much, since ammo can get pricey. I really need to get into reloading my own ammo. Chinese SKS rifle. My go-to boomstick for hunting those sedentary sheets of paper with rings on their faces. I hope to one day get the CBRPS bullpup kit for it. Marlin 989M2 rifle. My little .22 plinker. Radom P64 pistol. Sure, it has a heavy Double-action trigger pull, but I've gotten used to it. I'm slowly working on making some walnut grips for it. Pietta .44 Colt Navy Revolver. Black powder. Slow to load, but still fun to shoot.
  10. Two different snow shelters I've made. I wish I could claim not needing sticks, but the 2nd one needed a little reinforcement. The 1st one was with a small cooler as the brick mold and the 2nd with 5 gallon buckets.
  11. OH, SPARKLY ELECTRICITY, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU! Give me a huggggggGGGGGggggGgggggggg...........
