The new shop / whats on the bench

Well,  we have finally moved to our new place.  Five acres of heaven. Most importantly is the stand alone shop building.   The shop needs some work, but that does not scare me.  I can see what it will become. 

The one thing we don't have is that interweb thingy.  No internet yet.  Try typing a blog entry on you phone.   Younger than me wont see the problem.  Older than me will agree.  

Not the same format options for pics but here are a few randoms.  


Couple close to done

 
In the easy bake oven, drying after stamping. Will be an omni for a desert eagle 9mm

Walk Softly, but Carry a Big Stick / What's On The Bench





I was trying to find the words to describe what I mean by "walk softly, but carry a big stick". Well, then this picture came mind.

In the Army I figured out pretty quickly that a lot of people have a loud mouth, and talk a lot of talk. This was in the 80's In a long period in between wars, fewer and fewer had combat experience. It was at this time some one told me, out of all these people running there mouths, "flapping their gums"  it is the quiet one you had better watch out for and let him have your back, the loudest one will be the first to cower and desert you.

I think "walking softly " is admirable. Especially as a concealed carrier. Not the guy looking for the next chance to throw his chest in the air looking for the opportunity to prove how "bad" he is. Just a person living his life amongst those that are "flapping their gums" "strutting like a rooster" (describes the wannabe punk thugs, to me) yet at the same time carrying a big stick. Of course the smart ones carry that "big stick" in a Bam Bam Holster.....just sayin.
