Good stuff, man. Love that story. Any photos of interesting work?
I used to keep all my photos on my iPhone 5c however it was stolen and I never backed it up. I'm working on a Winchester now that was destroyed will try and post the before and after pics.
It's another grandfather gun that the receiver was broke( and I literally mean broke in two). I've about got it ready for bluing and I've redone the stock and forehand grip in a dark oak finish. Haven't finished because they only brought me half the guts and have been having to piece them together from different sellers ( I try to save people as much money as possible).
Show, try gunbroker for the python they usually have good( won't say great) deals.

It's the time of year where we've just run out of things to talk about. We know what everyone's favorite color of socks are, the starting lineup and rotation have already been decided, and folks have jockeyed for political positions. So now we get this thread.

Always one of my favorites every year with so many new posters joining us....what the heck do you do for a living? It's fun, and about six or seven years ago I even made a business connection through this thread.

Post away and let us know. I'll chime in later.
Vice President of Human Resources for a large manufacturing company.

High percentage of gym teachers here, it seems!

Yeah, and I have always wondered how pissed teachers are that teach like calculus, physics, biology, etc.... and have to deal with the fact that a Phys Ed teacher makes as much money as them. Haa.

Hahahaha I would love to know. Where the heck is he btw???


I work for myself on different levels, worked with my dad since I was a kid making and selling poplar Bark siding and my brother and I branched off this year and started a custom furniture business.. visit my website at www.messercustoms.com
:D

What are the prices for the end tables and the table set? Just moved into a new house that needs to be furnished. I think the missus might be interested in some of these pieces if it's within our budget.

That's awesome! We do actually. Most of us prefer it over the hydraulic tool we currently use called the Hydra-Ram. Some units still carry the Rabbit though and it's been more reliable in the heat of battle, no pun intended.

This entire conversation is MUCH more entertaining if you imagine that you are talking about the Rabbit ******** and not the fire tool. Just FYI.
