i don't know, i've been off line for a few days. i've seen a lot of productive posts. but then i see posts from sock puppets that wanna run down this forum as aposed to another competing forum. kinda bumms me out ... if the other forum is so much better then why are you still posting here...

i'm inclined to agree with ~gd on his stealth choices. the co2 pistol and rifle have come a long way from the old daisy air gun. the newer pellets available for both can inflict some serious damage. i prefer a co2 pistol for harvesting rabbits, one in the back of the head= quiet and relaxed...

the good doctor has pronounced this fork D. O. A. the fork i picked up may have a wooden handle but it is made from 1/4" thick x 3/4" wide steel, the tang goes 5"up into the handle and it's covered with a 7" feril. it will do for years, if "we" remember to bring it in out of the rain and...

still gonna give this a shot..... in gathering salvage material mode right now..... doc

that is a sweet work bench joel !! love how simple the design is, just from the vid i can scribble up some plans and turn one out with a couple of sheets of plywood and a bit of hardware. i'll use it with a much stouter table saw, and incorperate an under table router mount to utilize the fence...

G weasel, aahhhhh i'd be kinda leary.... i'm not sure about mead, but as far as wine or beer goes, funky grey stuff growing on top of a primary or secencary ferment is not a good sign in my experience. if there was any rye in the process you might have some organic LSD going on. that could be...

i would deffinatly reccomend a rifle,bow, or crossbow as oposed to a shotgun, no point in busting a tooth on a pellet over a nice roast. i prefer a crossbow, nice and quiet in the middle of the night. neighbors and game wardens don't become alarmed. barbed wire, above the hard fencing on...

wow interesting videos, the one guy did mention using pine though. i'm confused about the "tar" is this what i know as creasote? all the vids i've seen were of a gassifier and right into whatever engine they were running. so the whole concept of a scrubber was new to me. i couldnt tell from the...

or possibly creasote instead of tar?? staying away from coniferous woods (pines, cedars etc) would drasticly reduce creasote, i think well seasoned red or white oak might be ideal for such an application. i'm not too sure how one would scrub the outgoing fuel from a gassifier with out...

i think the op is talking about wood gassification, i've been pondering this same subject lately. i have access to enough "salvage" parts at work to put a decent sized one together. i've seen shows where they powered a small pick up truck with this method, i'd love to be able to run our...

hi all, ~gd, you crack me up! it'll take a few sips of Knob Creek to get that darn soapy taste out of my mouth. res ipsa loquitor a business major ?????:lau i quit teaching over trying to teach biology to liberal arts majors.:he i would have gladly handed out C's if they promised not to show...

deb, this is about my favorite time of year for relaxin' out by the fire. most mortals would be challenged by my schedule, but you should get that cot set up, kick back, and sippy and enjoy. i love my unwind and dawn totaly respects that. more often than not she joins me. we keep girly-gars in...

solucky, etal, i don't know... after breeding so many species of african ciclids i find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't be able to see a "a varation in shapes". of coarse my backround is marine biology and taxonomy, so the diferences are quite stark to me as opposed to a hobbiest. the...

yeah, earthmother, the pork loin was awsome, i smokded it with hickory chunks. i am also a big wuss about the cold, i'm a few weeks away from long johns and long sleeves. farmboy, the fire pit is my solstice, i work a lot of crazy hours, so every night that i'm off... i pour a glass of wine or...

i'm on nights right now so i've been out quite a few times to watch. the 1 st one i saw was so close i could see a clear debris trail, it looked like it was gonna land in the front parking lot. i'm seeing mostly red/orange as the core colours i think that means mostly iron. been seeing lots of...

too cool joel, i love coffee & espresso, roasting you're own beans takes it to a whole new level!!! i would actually try that, such a simple concept!! doc

doc here, re. Dawn's truck.... after shopvaccing 5 lbs of b.o.s.s. and scratch feed, a bunch of guinea feathers, fire wall insulation, various sticks and leaves and heaven only knows what else, i was able to get her power steering pump installed and the rest of the stuff put back together. i...

awsome score buster!!! i'd eat ramien noodles and 'lony meat for a few weeks to pull off that one. as dawn mentoned ss prices around here are kinda high even at our fave salvage yard. doc

joel, try reversing the polarity of the motor, ie. switching the hot and neutral wires. it always worked with greenhouse exaust fan motors..... doc

hey gd, it was my undrstanding that some fruit wines, ie watermellon in particular benefit from ageing the same as the finer grape wines do. a '59 lafitte is worth a kajillion bux. i fail to see the difference between ageing a fine grape wine as oposed to ageing a lesser watermellon wine? the...
