Your favorite movie quotes
Thomas 'Doc' Durant: Mr. Gundersen, have you ever had your heart ripped out by a woman? The Swede: I was married once, sir, but she run off with a gypsy. Uh, my heart was not ripped out, but, she did steal my cuckoo clock. Hell on Wheels- Woodtroll

Resole Shoes
Yes, it's a messy job, but the dust cleans off fairly easily. I always thought the leather edges were fairly easy to touch up, but then I keep a few different things on hand for boot care already. The problem I have with trying to use a belt sander is that you're working blind - it's really...- Woodtroll

Show us your Guns!
Nice little pocket piece! I've got the American Derringer version of that gun, bought YEARS ago. It's a (small) handful with normal .45 LC loads, but not as bad as I expected and not nearly as bad as the .357 Magnum version my brother bought. ;) I did shoot a few triple-ball .410 loads through...- Woodtroll

Resole Shoes
If you're going to do many resoles, you may consider buying a $15 angle grinder and a $5 80 or 100-grit flap wheel from Harbor Freight. I know that's $20 for tools that you may not use for much of anything else, but that combination is relatively cheap compared to a professional repair, is easy...- Woodtroll

And then, I could be wrong about the "maybe they're beginning to learn" part. ;) And California is hardly the only state with a revolving door criminal policy, to be fair.- Woodtroll

I think California may be beginning to learn that's its better for society when criminals are held accountable for their actions. More specifically, they're seeing what happens when you don't. Recovery from all this will be difficult, I believe.- Woodtroll

Resole Shoes
I think these turned out well for a home project. I don’t mind paying craftsmen, but it’s hard to find anyone that is willing to FIX things any more, and when you do they’re usually terribly backlogged and expensive. So I do a lot of these things for myself too. The results aren’t always perfect...- Woodtroll

What Hat Are You Working On Today?
Very nice results! I've fooled with shaping, ribbons, sweatbands, blocking to a small degree, and other miscellaneous tinkering on hats enough to know that it's not as easy as some of the guys on here make it look! But you definitely learn from every attempt. I think you should be proud of the... -
What Hat Are You Working On Today?
I can attest that Robert does a fantastic job on brim binding - the time he takes to set it up really shows. He just recently made me a hat with a narrow brim binding and did a flawless job on it. I would think that narrow bindings would be tougher than wider ones, because of the small ribbon... -
The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Or, they could just be ancient comic books and cat memes. :p But yes, it will be very interesting to see what they can salvage from them. A fascinating breakthrough indeed!- Woodtroll

"But I'm content with my life."
Being happy/content with your life and the positive things you have going for you is a very important accomplishment, but sadly it is one thing many folks are never able to achieve. It's very nice to be able to say, "I'm not wealthy, but I've certainly got enough to be happy about". Very few...- Woodtroll

Wolfbrae Custom Hatters
Thanks, Brent, I’m really pleased with the way this one turned out. I had a pretty definite idea of what I wanted but Robert helped a lot with color choices, and even sent felt and ribbon samples - you know how tough it is to pick colors based on photos on the computer. The credit for this is...
