I've had a few minor axe incidents. Mainly chopping with a hatchet if I hadn't over striked I would have a nice deep hole in my leg.

Yeah, my son had no clue what that means. Although he really loves my LPs.
Saturday...17 days till Christmas. Looks like I don't need to start shopping for two weeks.
 
Morning folks. I was trying to explain to my kids how we used to have static and lines on the tv????? They were like "huh"??????
 
wanna have some real fun, try explaining watching porn on the scrambled channels after the parents went to sleep.
 
"pre-internet you little bastids! Back when we played baseball NOT on the wii, and back when going bowling meant GOING bowling!"
 
I went orange last week, My gold was up and I thought I might want to sell some sheaths.

One pound beeswax
8 fl. oz. turpentine
8 fl. oz. boiled linseed oil
Pine tar (about a two tablespoons)


Melt the beeswax add everything else and stir well.
Let it cool to form a paste.


There you go. The best waterproofer/preservative/finish for cloth, leather, and wood you'll ever find. Rub it on then use a hairdryer to work it in.

Just finished retreating my gear.

You're welcome.

:D

I'm going to go get the stuff to do this.
I'm guessing I could get the pine tar at Academy Sports in the baseball section.
Will four of these work for the bees wax? http://www.walmart.com/ip/10451913?...1=g&wl2=&wl3=21486607510&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem
If you have leftover paste, can you save it for future projects and just heat it up later on?
 
Oh yeah, I see the "with 100% beeswax" now. Thanks Psy.
Going to have to track down beeswax. Can I use ear wax?

ETA: Okay, Michael's (craft place) sells candle making supplies. I'm set.
 
I don't miss having to do "real" reasearch, online databases make your life sooooooo much easier when you need to write a 15 page paper.

Edit: I still try to use at least one ink on paper source in all my papers (professors tend to like that) but in grade school and middle school we could only use one online source (which of course I had to go to the library for anyway because I had only dial-up on my dads work computer at home till I was 14) which reminds me that the grade school still had and used a mimeograph when I went to school there.

Michael's is where I get it. Print a 40-50 off coupon before you go. I get the pine tar at a local farm co-op in bulk for equine use. I can send you some (if you like) because I've got enough for nine lifetimes. When I make a batch I put it in Mason jars while it's warm and a little bit in a shoe polish tin for the pack. Oh and by the way, be sure to make it outside and hang your coat/shoes/whatever on the porch for a few days :D. The last batch I made I put some orange oil in and it really smells pleasant. Kay even likes it.

Thanks, trade. If you want to send me a little of the pine tar, I'll take it.
The grill has a side burner, and that's where I tend to do such projects (dyeing, melting, etc.)
Maybe I should throw some Hoppes #9 in it for aroma. :D
 
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear me-eee, happy birthday to meeeee. :D
 
Happy Birthday Dubz!! Keep having those and you're good to go. And remember, age is just a number........that kills you. :D
