Here's a higher res copy that should work better for wallpaper: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/408/seaofcolorbigger.jpg/ Jabba, the colors do pop, but looking at the royal blue PM2 in my hand I have to say that the color in the image is much brighter and lighter hue, more like the Sage 3 blue...

I was going to say that I don't fool around with any of them. I observe how they work, keep them clean, and leave them alone. However, I see that what you really meant is do we mindlessly, inanely, stuporously, lip-dribblingly operate them because they feel good somehow..... Therefor, I fool around ...

Not meaning to derail, but: My interest was peaked when I read that Sal wrote that Micarta would shrink in Colorado's dry atmosphere. The 35-year average historic morning/afternoon humidity for the Denver area (not far from Golden, little lower in elevation) is 67%RH morning, 40%RH afternoon. If mic...

A purely technical review
Here is a review I posted on Amazon for the iGaging Angle Cube (also have one on WE forum): http://www.amazon.com/review/RV5PZG16YB48W/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002LL0BIC&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode= I use mine often, and even used it the other day to verify the slope of my roof. :)

I have to say thats entirely subjective. It depends on the firearm being used, and the shooter. To say one caliber is more accurate than another is hogwash. In a ransom rest a .45, 9mm, whatever will hit the same place every time. The shooters proficiency with dealing with recoil is what may determ...

It's irrelevant really. Most crashes involve moving targets or angles. At 120mph most cars will hit things that have less mass than a stationary wall or hit them at an angle which will reduce the blow significantly. There was one case in racing history that I can't recall but the driver, in his 40'...

Potato peels have dirt on them, and dirt is notorious for being HORRIBLE on edges. Hmmm, isn't this why potato peelers were invented? It's a unitasker but worth it, to me. They can be sharpened with a SM rod and they are faster and safer than a knife. Besides, I like catsup with my french fries, no...

Knife Sharpening Phenomenon?
I have noted what appear to be strike marks on my blades when sharpening with stones using my Lansky (my WEPS isn't here yet). They look akin to high speed particles in a cloud chamber--all different angles. My initial theory is that small particles break off the stone at high velocity and scrape al...

now how to sharpin a pizza cutting weal. I, too, got tired of pushing cheese from one side of the pizza to the other instead of cutting through it. Here's how I got a better edge. I used both the SM and Lansky. I used the coarse stones on the Lansky and then finished with the SM by running the ston...

I'm in california and it takes about 4-5 days for me, blame the USPS I suppose. It's because you live in the middle of nowhere. :p Even the USPS has to use Google Earth to find you. Now if you lived in the big city like Hesperia where I am, you'd get it in 2-3 days, without fail, like I do. :D I lo...
