Her father was adamant that she gets a Glock 19, but she refused it. She is a hammer-fire girl, and as a revolver person, I support that without problem. My only problem with the Blocks are that they are not that comfortable to hold, and they have a serious problem with dust. Her father's response to that was "But they are super easy to take down if they do malfunction." Needless to say I showed him my old M9 and he nearly wet himself.Second ONLY to the Walther PPK; nice choice.
...but I noticed you're driving on the "wrong" side of the road all the time!!!
Only one small piece of luggage?! Your Mom is one good sport: sending blessings to you all!

then I can enjoy the hum of the multifuel !
Eastern (hard) maple in Washington? Kiln dried?I replaced the petcock on my secondary fuel filter housing. Ended up using a Schrader valve for a couple of days while waiting on a new petcock to arrive. 1/8" NPT Air tank drain is what I had to search for on the big A.
Also replaced the starter on my m35a2c yesterday with a DelcoRemy 39MT. It was pricey but my local starter/alternator repair guy says he won't rebuild Leeville Neece's any longer due to poor quality control on their parts after moving manufacturing to China.
Then I used the truck to pick up 114bdft of Eastern Maple for a furniture project I'm making for a friend.

Where did you get that piece of gold; harvest it yourself?!Yea I saw the starter after I wrote that.
You have some nice thick maple, is it figured or any burls? Some maples can have wild patterns.
I built a high-tension bandsawmill and the first thing I cut was a 36" walnut burl.
I bought a small load of walnut and a few other hardwoods to test the saw on and it was their ugly duckling, so I agreed to take it.Where did you get that piece of gold; harvest it yourself?!
I have friends in timber harvesting... and build sawmill and veneer equipment. A burl that large is so uncommon, they didn't have a market. Few people can cut it.
And you're a woodworker?! Brother, you are one Lucky Dog!I have friends in timber harvesting... and build sawmill and veneer equipment. A burl that large is so uncommon, they didn't have a market. Few people can cut it.
Please start one if there isn't. Just a general wood and woodworking thread. I'd be all over it; and I bet there's others!We invested in development of the machinery to compete with Wood Miser on the top and commercial market for sawmills with a unique, ultra high tension bandsaw. I put 5 years in the project, plus about $200k in.... and it bankrupt me in 88. Not sure about lucky, but the saw performed even better than predicted. So well that no US band makers can make our thin bands.
Since then I make what others pay to have made, from automating the primary part of a veneer factory to changing the driven pulley on a 150 year old 12" wide band mill, to making stack breakdown, grading lines, Siemens PC control and lots of high power electrical.
I had a patent about to issue on the bandsaw but dropped it when financing failed and I watched the Asians in the US Patent office taking the patents for the cost of a copy. It's still a proprietary advantage that I intend to put into a process making thin wood lamination stocks. Working on a 3" blade with now, kerf about .060", Stellite tipped.
Edit...I'll check and see if there is a sawmill thread.
