China will lose jobs to the US AFTER the US standard of living is on a par with China's and not before. To me, all this doom & gloom scenario is too reminiscent of global warming & eugenics. The US standard of living continues to decline. Just a fact.

Sharpened a carpenter's pencil this morning for my build. Cut a caulking tube end off at the correct angle for a good glue bead. Cleaned up some construction adhesive at the wall/headliner joint, nice, clean cut & peeled right off. Still plugging away on the build, but it's warm out this weekend...

"Catching Shrimp With Bare Hands" the story of Bluntcut's early life, before he came to the states. Interesting read, amazing life as a kid. It's worth reading, if only to see how fortunate we are to live here in the U.S.

Just be patient & use light strokes. The tendency is to try "too hard" at first. This stuff is incredibly hard compared to softer steels. I ended up getting a diamond stone to completely re-set the bevel, even it out & get the edge correct. The natural stones I had were pretty much...

I think the idea of supporting fair labor & wages should be applied in many areas of the economy. If you support good wages in America, why not let others benefit who have similar value systems & ethics in other countries? There are enough third world democracies on the planet who are strivi...

If you're Scottish, a Tamoshanter, a more generic British person might use a Bowler. Where I live, a Mexican Sombrero would keep off the flies and help keep it warm. I might be inclined to use a "cheesey" white sauce base with sharp cheddar, Lousiana hot sauce (vinegar base) and curry powd...

Way to go Lance. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

"This is a simple question - is this forum going to set that high of a bar for skepticism in a fair and unbiased manner or is it going to be held only for posts which are critical/negative in nature?"

An excellent question. Yes!

Do you ever use green chilies? Not the hot, but the mild ones would be a perfect choice for this creation. Looks like quite a dish!

Look at the screw holding the pivot. What do you see compared to one which is from the factory & new?

Most Excellent! Looks like it will last forever & do the job well. Congrats.

To prevent sliding during the gluing, I usually have a couple of sewing needles in place, to maintain correct alignment. They act as temporary fasteners while the glue is setting up. Lately I've been using a solvent-based contact cement from Home Delay (formica glue) for bonding & laminating. Wo...

Pretty sure it's a western diamondback. They tend to be pretty nasty when it's warm out. Glad it was a cool morning after a cold night or it might have had a different outcome. Absolutely no noise from him, so it must have been too cold for him to buzz or strike. The striking speed is measured at ab...

For a Mule Team superblue I found used online. I think next time I should use some kydex liners. It's sharp enough to leave small slices inside when I put the blade in if it isn't perfectly aligned. Thin kydex lining would fix this problem. There's a thick "gasket" center liner for the mid...

Went for a walk this morning north of Tucson. Was drawn to this cactus, an early blooming Hedge Hog. I was also wearing sun glasses, so my vision in the shadows was't very good. Special bonus from this shot was that I wasn't bitten due to the cold night temperatures we still have.... Do you see it? ...

Screen is blurry... Makes my day knowing there are good people out there. In our hearts & prayers Ken & Arlene.

Hope the EPA doesn't get involved with this one....
