Winter's coming. What projects do you have planned?

[Delmonico]

Neat ol' gun, wish I'd bought one of them when a bunch a ceap ones were floatin' around about 25 years ago, was a bunch in the area, Marked Nebr. State Pennatenary.

It's here, it's here.

Winter hit today - got over 7 inches of snow and we're due for the same tomorrow. Those dang people west of us keep sending it to us. Heading to the basement reloading room until it blows over.

[Russ T Chambers]

Well, I've unpacked enough stuff to get the MG and Supra into the garage of the house we bought.  That means I'll have space enough to bring out the table saw and all the power tools that were hidden in storage for 15 years at the apartment.  I need a rifle rack for what I call "the eclectic room".  It has a combination of aircraft and Western stuff.  I guess it comes from watching too much Sky King when I was a kid. 

However, here in Nevada, we haven't stopped shooting for 15 years (except for 1 January), so I'll have to load up some more ammo too!

[Doc Neeley]

I added another project. Traded some gunleather for a pair of shotgun chaps and the feller included some patially completed steer hair on batwing chaps.
The winter fairly glitters before me. 

Or sumpin like that.

Well, I am thinking about building the "Stand Up Desk" I have been thinking about building for several years.  I have lots of rough cut walnut that's 75 to 100 years old.  I had made my own plans, but found a better set of plans in WOODSMITH.  So, Mortis and Tenoning I shall go...

[Mustang Gregg]

Winter plans---Already done started them.
I am clearing a pasture of cedar & osage orange trees & staking out a hillside range for CAS.
If all goes well, we will have a 6-stage birmed-apart shooting area on the Double Arrow Ranch.
It probably won't be done over the 2006-2007 winter, though. 

As far as loadin' & castin'----Well, we're way behind.   

MG & CJ

[Frenchie]

Moving! Selling this place and buying something around Massanutten Mountain, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

[Texas Trail Boss]

I'm thinkin' about loadin' up my new toy & headin' to the Florida Keys! 

[Bucksaw]

I am clearing a pasture of cedar & osage orange trees

Im glad its you and not me that has to clear them osage trees.  I feel sorry for you

[Mustang Gregg]

Bucksaw.

I have about 215 acres of it (and it's mighty damn thick) to clear for pasture.
So I bought a Mustang MTL16 & an M&M tree shear.  I hope I don't wear it out.

Well it was 20 F below zero here yesterday and still snowing I've run through more gas in my snow blower in the last three weeks than I did all last winter. Maybe I should hook up the fifth wheel and head south for the winter. Winter ain't acomin' it's dang well here.

well with those kinda temps Nine Toe Jim,  we don't havta ask what happened to that other toe,   

I would a already headed south 

[Nine Toe Jim]

Why leave when the winter sports have just begun. My daughter's boyfriend was driving home last night after working all week in a small town north of us and hit a moose. Put a few wrinkles in his truck but saved a bullet. Got the winter's meat if the game warden's don't get it. HAW!

[Forty Rod]

I had a thought (DID TOO!!!) about a project, but I haven't an idea how to do it.  I want to make a removable fur collar for my fringed coat.  The design of the collar is dead simple, but I don't know how to piece the fur together so it will drape down in back.  I want the knap of the fur to run from my neck out to the edge of the collar.

I have a really nice coyote pelt the right color, but it's only half wide enough, maybe a little less.  On the other hand, its 20x longer than it needs to be.  I think I can match the color variations to look alright, but someone told me pros cut pelts on a bias where they stitch it together.  She didn't say why.

Any help out here?

[litl rooster]

  Forty, I thought this was last winter's project?

[Delmonico]

It was, I guess he didn't get it figgered out yet. jsut 'membered the beagle/bodcat post, I could make a joke here......................











But I won't.

[Ozark Tracker]

  Forty, I thought this was last winter's project?

naw that was last winters idea,  it takes awhile to get all the kinks worked out in yer head

[Forty Rod]

T'was.  Still haven't an idea how to do the fur part.  Everything else is cut out, hemmed, buttons sewn on, just that dang pesky peltry stopping the whole show.

Actually, in this part of the country I need a fur collar on a coat like I need a barbed wire jock strap.  I just thought it would look MAHVELOUS done that way.

I may go down to the antique alley and see if I can find a lady's coat already done and use it instead.  How would red fox look?

[Ozark Tracker]

.  How would red fox look?

he'd be grabbing his chest, saying this is the big one  Elizabeth, I coming to ya.
