Good afternoon everyone, I hope all is well out there. Ok I have been hard at it, have damn near all the custom stuff done except for a couple of pieces that are going to take some extra time due to the detailing and such. I must say I am very happy with this batch and thank you all for your cooperation and patience. I will be in touch very soon with all the info you all need and I need. Show and tell is still coming very soon. Got alot planned the next few days, I am getting my boys for 3, doing a Widespread Panic concert up north of the state Saturday night for my Bday which is on Sunday, will be 39,uhhh that's right!!! So Sunday am picking my boys back up, I have 3 racks of ribs, ohh big racks, so Sunday we going to do it up and get right for my birthday!

Ohhhhh guess who just got 2 gator tags??? Thats right, got my hands on 2 of the only 970 allocated for the entire state. My good friend also got 2 for the same area so me and my guy are going to get 4. 1 has to be over 7' the other under 7' but over 4'. @KidFated. My man I know you going to be all over this adventure, I cant explain how excited I am and cant wait to show and tell all bout it! Season is Aug. 28 - Sept. 7, not far off!

@HellsWindStaff Good deal, I am glad I was helpful. I hope you make the visit and it goes well for ya! Til then be safe my man!

@FlyingLow I am glad you liked the post, like I said yours and another are taking longer due to the extra work but it will all be worth it in the end! You know what, might oughta save that hammer stem if you like it so much, may not hurt too. You know the vapes are always changing, new vapes come out and others modify, maybe it will be of use again for another device just as it is, just my thoughts is all.

@WoodVillain LOL that joke was a good one, a panda in a dress wearing heels! I hope you like what I have done when its in your hands, I really like it as far as my first attempt at the new detailing.

I hadnt said it in a while, yall all mean alot to me here at FC, thanks everyone for what you do, stopping by & posting up, just popping in for a read, and most of all for making FC a wonderful place to be!

So, do you or your buddy get the the job of measuring the gator before you whack 'em??
Please big momma gator, hold still while I put a tape on you....

Do you use weapons or noodle for them, and then use a chock hold?? :)

Any way to inlay some gator skin on some of your fine creations??

Good morning you all, wow wow, this new beading tool is amazing, I am really getting into it and am making some of the most beautiful pieces I have ever done, I am not tooting my own horn but wow I wish I would have gotten it sooner. I am still learning new designs but the pieces I have done so far for you alls custom orders are going to be nice, I really hope you all like what I have done! Thing is it takes a bit more time, laying it out, measuring this spot and that, beading and grooving then sharpening the edges of the details, its quite a bit of work. In 3 hours yesterday I think I made 7 maybe 8 stems. I so wanted to show a sneak peak this morning but couldnt do it just yet, I wanna install the bushings and slick em out before posting up for show and tell.

@peterpiper Good deal my man, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for letting me know. Yeah you know it does have that slate look doesnt it, hmm wow that takes me way way back bro! I remember being a young young boy at my grandparents house in Scotland, their house is so old that when my grandmother dies they would like to get her house and preserve it for history, its a couple stories at least, pebble walls on the exterior and slate tiles for the roofing, its a grand home and very very large. I can remember being that little and the stair case seemed like it went forever. When I went back to visit in 2000 after I had grown up you know things never look as big as they did when you were young, was a trip but so much fun! Thanks for reminding me of that!

@Melting Pot Thank you my man, and happy bday to your little girl, thats good to hear and I hope you all have a great time, what a blessing bro, enjoy! Gator hunting is going to be awesome, I am ecstatic about it! Oh cant wait to show and tell bout that adventure!

@MinnBobber Wow you know what, could do some maybe 1" gator skin wraps around some of the stems, hmmm thats a great idea you got there bro, thanks! Ok so best I know it so far, gotta read more of the laws and regulations of the hunt but what I have been told is that you can use heavy heavy fishing gear, somehow hook him with a lure however you can or even shoot him with a bowfishing rig, get him to the boat, put a noose around his head, then you have a bang stick with a .38 or .357 bullet that you end it with instantly in the top of the back of the head, very painless and quick. The process is very controlled and made so that the animal is harvested very safely and humanely. My friend has much dealings with them and is very good at judging the size of them. Its going to be alot of fun and quite an experience!

@little maggie Good morning and yes mam you are, my oldest ask me yesterday were we getting in the shop, I have them for several days so you are on the list and will be in touch with you soon about your piece. We have just been so busy going here and there doing all we can before school starts, summer doesnt last as long as it did when we were younger. I hope all is well for you and believe me my boy is ready to get after it. We just got some new blanks in very beautiful red cedar, multi colored poplar and even sassafras.

@VANVAS You just dont know how much fun it will be last year a younger kid about 16 got a 12' gator, thats a freaking beast for sure!

@CarolKing Thanks so much! I am so blessed to see another one and to have my boys celebrate it with me, what fun what fun!

Pardon the double post...

Ed, I just came across this little drone racer that I thought you might get a kick out of:

The booms on this are cut from African padauk wood which is naturally orange/red. The laser cut pieces are cut from Baltic birch and stained but the booms are just coated with a wipe on polyurethane to bring out the natural color in the wood.

Motors, video, radio control, and other electronics have not yet been installed.

I think reclaiming might be possible with an unbent paperclip and just scraping it all into a pile. Do you guys think this will work or could possibly be damaging?

Also does anyone else experience a noise from their stem when it is cooling down? I posted about this a couple times but no one has responded.

I also made a stem cleaning video, I hope this help and explains it fairly well. I gotta tell yall, it was my 12th or so attempt at making it. Felt I had it all in my head what I was going to say but when it came to getting it out, yeah well heres the 12th cut!


@FlyingLow Hey hey, my man, oh its just me and my best friend going to the panic show, not my kids, not just yet! Looking forward to the gator hunting bro, you just dont know! Really like the wooden drone racer, would like to see it afterwards if possible. Thanks for stopping!

@vaplen Hmmm I havent heard a noise I can speak of myself, can anyone else? As far as reclaim, I generally dont. I just swab it out let dry, pack a fresh one and get back to business. Sorry I am not much help.

My and the boys are going to see the new Jurassic World movie this afternoon, I can remember seeing the very first one in the theater way back when, wow it was ahead of its times with the effects then, cant wait to see this new addition!

OOhhhh Panic is one day away! This is my favorite song by them, its the shit, hope they do it tomorrow!

So lookout at @FlyingLow going to be on the lawn with the other hardcore spread heads!!! @KidFated. My man, I am too old for trouble, I dont get down like that, been years since my last arrest and that one was on good terms so I wanna end it that way. Got my second DUI before I figured out jail aint cool, it was yes sir no sir I am sorry sir, the arresting officer was like you know what, you dont even have to spend the night in jail if you can get someone to come get you, ohhh I got someone to come get me!

@subway13029 Damn my man forgive me you are right now that I pull that thought outa from way back in my head, you are first on the list for the next custom run, get with me bout specs. and its done!

@NickDlow LOL you are getting quite the rep round here, freaking wood hoarder, I think its time for an intervention, Ill be in touch with your girl, well round up your family and several of us from FC and will have to lay it out for you, you are going to have to check yourself and you cant do it without those that care for you. Your addiction is beyond out of control! Glad you dig the beading tool, I am really finding it to be a lot of fun and have so many ideas and configurations in mind, its only the beginning! Just took my kids to see Antman, my 11 year old is like uhhh dad I dont like super hero movies, what can I do, his 2 brothers wanted to see it and so did I so he got outnumbered, and after it was over, he loved it! I was like you know I had to rub it in, "but dad I dont like super hero movies" hahahah lol yeah yeah yeah! Thanks for the kind words bro and bday wishes, ohhhh did I mention I have 3 freaking huge racks of ribs for sunday, uhhhh thats right, these arent just your ordinary ribs, huge!!!
