Real nice table, Grant! I like the use of different woods to make up the piece!

Thanks glennbad.
Some item take a while before I can make them.If a tree get blows over in a storm I have to cut the wood and store it for a few years till it dries out ( seasons and stabilized )

Looks great Grant!

I wish I had some of that wood stabilized to use for knife handles!

Absolutely gorgeous Grant! Just missing a cigar ashtray!

How about this 1959 Gillette Safety Razor

Looks like the one I was issued when I hit boot camp. Those puppies will slice you and dice you if you're not careful or a tough old bird.

Tommy, you can get blades anywhere. They're on the shelf right next to the 35mm film.

....that explains why I can't find them..... .....did find some "personna" blades, tried to shave one time with one and I looked like I had been in a hatchet fight without a hatchet!!!.......... ........

I can not force myself to pick up and use my 35mm stuff.
I go nuts with my Nikon Coolpix P60 though.
I have been shooting flowers and berries and such.
Tomorrow perhaps I'll post some of them.

I got a new Doctor last week, my son Hoyt ( Ex Marine )
I'm a very proud Dad

Good deal JW but just ask him, ain't no such thing as an ex-Marine. Semper Fidelis says it all. Tell him this old Marine said "hey" and not only did he do his Daddy proud, he did the Corps proud as well.

Here's some new spinner contraptions from across the pond.
Talk about hanging on to your bait.
Thanks for looking.

jlw257, that's pretty neat. Good for you and your family.

JerryD, ever since he was10 years old all he wanted was to join the Marine Corp, He is Marine Corp to the bone.

My Dad doing what he loves.

Joe - that is a bad A$$ spinner....wowzuh! Knice score man!

My granddad shaved with a straight razor and used something similar to that to tan our hides when we got a little wild.

Thanks, Scott. I thought they were pretty neat.

I have here a thing-a-ma-jig that I found while cleaning out an old house. It appears to be brass. Can't get either end off but the thumb-wheel nob/valve turns. It has what looks like a red painted-on label but the lettering is long gone. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks,
Ken

Interesting old piece. Maybe a jeweler's torch?

Mumbleypeg,
Google Merlite Presto Fire Extinguisher. I believe that's what your thing-a-ma-jig is .
