In Memory of Daisy Crockett

Lost my little female dog, Crockett, this morning at 7 AM., 15 years young. :cry:
Things have just not been right today!
Me and the male dog, Boone, have been consoling each other.

Re: Ok, One Knife, if you

I guess my choice would balance on weather I had an axe or hatchet along. If not , I just love a razor sharp Bowie. A little big for some jobs and a little small for others :)
I got one with a 7 1/2' blade and I bring along a double bit saddle axe. Can shave with either one.

Re: Interesting molds

Just maybe!
The nose pins can be held in place by screwing the threaded pin so that it does not enter one half of the mold. Then another maybe , when the mold is opened the bullet will drop with another tap.
I know a lot of maybe's there.
