    Show us your Guns!

    Ahhhh.. which grip to equip.. fun game. I find I always seem to come back to checkered walnut, classic. Nice piece, has a good old school 1911 look. Many of the modern tacticool 1911's just don't quite do it for me. Though I would like to do a Wilson build in 9mm at some point.

    Reproductions: How do you know they're accurate?

    If you are going to reproduce an item take the time to hone the details. It may not have to be exact, but fine things are usually created from quality materials and the attention given to the details. It may not be the exact same zipper of the garments time but an attempt at refinement (not...

    Loungers' Pets

    Here are a few photos of some of the non-human family. Threntin is the cat, dunno if he even realizes his tongue is hanging out, always so dignified. The box turtle is Una, she is the oldest member of the house at somewhere in her 50's and still going strong. Mr.Cuddles just happens to be a 5...

    Leather jacket in the washing machine

    Just did a hot water treatment last night on my Goodwear California Racer. It was about a half size to large and rode up in the back and shoulders when seated. I just wore the jacket into the shower and cranked up the hot water. After it was good and soaked I towel dried the jacket inside and...

    Shinki Horsehide Jacket

    ... impractical like a Ducati 916 used as a city commuter bike. Nice analogy, I need to tell my coworker, exactly what he commutes to work with. Ha.
