Say, any of you fellas smithies?

PondartIncbendog comments on Aug 29, 2019:

I have been making knives for years. Start small. EXCEPT your anvil. Here is the rule. For a five pound hammer, you need a fifty pound anvil. For a ten pound, you need a hundred pound. A good anvil is ten dollars a pound. IF you can find a portion of railroad track, you have an anvil. Great ...

PondartIncbendog replies on Aug 29, 2019:

@Wurlitzer That means its good steel. There is a guy on youtube that makes a beautiful anvil out of a piece of track. Once you are done and you make a nice one, they are worth a lot of money. See Ebay.

oldFloyd comments on Aug 29, 2019:

I'll give you that the gun on the right is definitely a single shot model but the one on the left looks like it carried a clip. Not being a gun owner for all I know it could be a pellet gun.

PondartIncbendog replies on Aug 29, 2019:

The other gun is a real 1911.

I wish I found this sooner. Very cool statue, I think it was very well done. Here at GDSF

I spent my career working for developers and can tell you those regulations exist for a reason. Government is reactionary, not proactive, in nature, and those regs exist because of abuse, not because someone was sitting around trying to make things harder.

Yesterday I was reading a psychology book about wickedness and hate.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 24, 2019:

The current evidence seems to show that we are a very small part of this vast universe of which we know very little about at all. For want of knowledge and control people simply started making things up.

Did you make that up? Really, we don't even know whats at the bottom of the sea.

As a young Airman during the late '80's at BMT, I chose "no preference" re: religion on my dog tags.

How to stop men from picking up a precious wood sculpture?

PondartIncbendog comments on Aug 24, 2019:

Put three fake eggs in the bowl when people get there. You can get marble eggs on ebay. And a patch of felt so the eggs will not dent the wood.

Marionville comments on Aug 22, 2019:

I agree, I fear that there will be a lot of malnourished children in the future because of the current fad for veganism. We all need a balanced diet, especially children and it’s a parent’s duty to provide one until they are old enough to decide for themselves whether to become vegan.

Children need the fat for building muscles. They shouldn't eat like fifty year olds.
