Living in St. Louis does have one advantage. We have GREAT ribs shacks around that do then just as good as, and cheaper than making them at home. We have this place locally called Bogarts. Each time they go to Memphis in May, they win the whole hog division.Just pulled some ribs off the grill... yes JUST, after midnight. never too late for ribs is it?
Rhetorical question. My keyboard is already sticky.
This is what keeps me from getting a pick up. I don't want everyone to think that since I have a pick up, now they do too.- and so have my friends.![]()
Nice nails! What color is that? Red Razzle Dazzle?
and the shenanigans have missed you!Yeah, I couldn't justify the knifemaker subscription when I'd stored making the liners. I still lurk a bit, but I guess I've just been too busy with life to keep up here.
Thanks, also WorldWood, things are good here. I've missed the Beckerhead shenanigans, lately, so I thought I'd drop by and say hi.
Story time?Well, I'm not gonna lie. Today, I absolutely love the internet. I'm not really religious, but the events of today somewhat make me think of a benevolent internet god.
Very cool Todd!!

Uhhh... no. Sorry, you're flat wrong about that. You completely misread my post/intent. That's not at all what I meant.
Steel chemistry absolutely matters. It matters a great deal. One cannot polish a turd, nor can one drink whiskey from a bottle of wine. Likewise, no amount of HT "magic" can ever improve the inherent chemistry in any alloy.
For instance, there is a dang good reason Ka-Bar/Becker uses 1095CV instead of "plain" 1095, and why Buck generally uses 420HC instead of 420J... They're demonstrably better than the cheaper, easier-to-machine versions. Both companies have their HT dialed-in pretty well to reach the higher potential of the better materials they've selected.
Half-vast steel with good HT is "not terrible". 440A/420J/AUS-6 is half-vast steel when judged by today's standards for cutlery. It will work, for a while. Put it next to excellent steel with excellent HT and the same geometry, and it's gonna get blown out of the water.
Ehh, I dont like the band. I've got about 8 or so slingshots now, and the ones I like best are the ones with the tubes. Plus there easier and cheaper to replace.
Story time?
Bless you my child!Let's just say that you'd google "Jennifer Lawrence" and limit your search to the last 24 hours.
