It sure does look like a shot shell rim now that I see it like that. Can you put a hull in it for us? What of the slit notch?

Gobblerforge

Since the notch is dovetailed, if the points were sharp, it could be a rudimentary saw. I imagine a woodsman running that notch over a 1 or 2 inch branch back and forth. This would work if the notch was squared also. The corners just have to be sharp. But then the bottle opener and cork screw indica...

Since I clicked your posting, I am getting many of these videos now. Kind of cool but equally creepy.

I would also like to know why the 38-55 was never a standard round for bolt actions. I would love to have a bolt action in it so I could scope it but only lever actions were ever standard.

We woke up Thanksgiving Day 2004 as the first morning of our life in the log cabin. Now 21 years later here we are, just as cozy as ever, with it still dark outside and a fire in the woodstove. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Ohio's laws are not much better. .357 or larger and strait wall cartridges only. 45 colt is fine but 38-40? Too scarry with that bottle neck.

Gobblerforge

I got cold watching that.

Gobblerforge

I insist every gun I hunt with is sighted in and checked cold. Repeatedly. I have never hunted with a warmed barrel. It is fun to do when farting around outside all day. Get set up and take a shot. Say a 22 for squirrel. Go do something and come back later and take a shot. Repeat. As opposed to wond...

I have to admit I was kind of hoping April second Val would pop out and say "Surprise".

Gobblerforge

I wore cowboy boots on a flight to Europe years ago and it was miserable when the feet swell after enough hours. I won't do that again.

Thanks, Man. 65 today.

[in my best Cheech voice] Then there is the Chupacabra, esse. My cosin Hector saw one once. He said it looked like it had a baby in it's mouth.

Merry Christmas.

My question is about air space and my property. Is it legal to fly over my house with a drone? To what height? What is trespassing?

Gobblerforge

Where are you? I am Near Tappan Lake. South east Ohio.

This isn't for everyone, but I get a lot better sleep and less back pain when I sleep in a hammock. No mattress has given me a good night's sleep. My recliner is better, but the hammock is best. No hard spots and it seems the curve is just right. A small pillow under my knees to keep them from hyper...

Years ago at the Smithsonian Museum they had a maybe 15 foot tall clear plastic Saturn 5 rocket filled with resisters and stuff that made the rocket work. In the middle was a little window with a single computer chip that they said replaced all of it. Incredible. On a slightly different direction, I...

Been there, done that. God's Holy Spirit convinced me, when I was running away as fast as I could. I'm curious if you read fiction? What do you like to read? And, is there any other body of knowledge or inquiry that you also reject? [/quote] No I don't read fiction. Actually, I don't read for pleasu...

Gobblerforge

Sure. It would have been more correct for me to say that in every attempt for me to see evidence for a god I was not convinced. For me to say there is no god is obvious an opinion and can not be proven. No man can convince me there is one though.

Gobblerforge

Paul, I get it. There was a time in my life when I would have tried to agree with you but it always seemed to boil down to simple faith. I don't have it. Every time the book or someone tried to convince me, it required faith because the facts were not there. I do not wish to change others minds and ...

Gobblerforge

Grizz. I am not going to try to explain anything. All the evidence is out there and those that don't have faith use it. I tried for years to believe but every time religion was shown to be wrong the argument got weaker and weaker. Paul takes science facts and claims them for religion with no evidenc...

Gobblerforge

I just see nothing to show a higher power and huge amounts ov evidence to show we are evolved and still evolving.

Gobblerforge

Are you saying all of science is wrong because of what someone wrote 2000 years ago? Religious folks are funny.

My Grandson and I this week.

I played with thermal electric generation a few years ago with only small return. Getting heat and cold together efficiently is a challenge. Steam is in my mind the way to go but there are so many things that can go wrong, and the dangers are real, that I didn't play with it. I will be watching this...

If you look at Wikipedia under catapult, they list different types of catapults. One of them is the trebuchet.

Gobblerforge

As I understand it, a trebuchet is one type of catapult.

I built a miniature some few years ago. Can toss a grape 50 feet.

That makes no sense. Hunters aren't harvesting enough of an invasive damaging species so ban hunting?

16-1 for long rifle. Shorts and longs use a different twist rate. I don't know about 22 mag.

I have always heard that in the total eclipse the stars will come out. I have always wanted to see that. We plan on riding a little west to get closer to the center of the path.

This year will be special in that the cicadas are going to be heavy. I love cicadas. When they are loud enough I get to have a new noise in my head to override the tinnitus.

This is funny and I am sorry for the left turn but my fuzzy glasses and little writing read scripture and not sculpture. :lol: In that I have tried to understand some of the written timelines of religions and my mind exploded with 500,000 number. Now for the real title, I have always thought man was...

Gobblerforge

If the scripture is 500,000 years old, wouldn't that blow the timelines of religions out of the water too?

I've never seen shot obturate that much. A flat spot at best.

The concept of trying to help educate them never came up? Only ridicule? Sad.

I collect dryer lint in a plastic bag for free and keep one of those fire spark things in the bag. The spark stick came with a striker. Blaine. I too have used dryer lint. I stopped when I was having difficulties with it lighting some years ago. Was really frustrating. That's when I learned that so...

I found a couple photos from a decade ago. We were on our way out west and swung in to Pitchy's for a night or two.

I am curious as to whether bone can be sharpened enough to cut like a knife, and if it can, how long will the edge last.

I have 2 boys available Gobbler! :D Black or yellow your choice. Just had a couple come visit and have decided to give Pinky a home. They are a Lab family and hunters. Thanks but we are not ready.

Thanks for this post. We buried one dog last year and have two more in the 13 14 year old range. I expect we will be getting a puppy in a year or two tops.

I bought a 50" Toro O-turn two seasons ago and love it. My John Deere riders never could do what this thing can. Living in the woods and mowing around the trees is why I bought the narrower one.

We had a good fire last Thursday. I even through some leaves on for the smell.

I bought mt first house in 1983, after my trailer, at a rate of 13.5%. It drove the property values down enough that I could buy one. Two years later refinanced at about 8 or 9. Later refinanced again. Don't remember the numbers.

I live pretty remote and a few years back I had a guy walking through my front yard. When I went out to see what he was doing and tell him to leave he said,"Oh it's OK, I'm just hunting mushrooms". Sigh.
