Yes, it true, I’m still about dirt.
I retired from the Baton Rouge City Police Department last year after just a little more then 20 years. But I’ve been so busy. I have no idea how I ever got anything done before.
I haven’t been on the forum in a while, but thought I would stop by and say hi and let those that know me, know that I was still alive.
The ones that remember me, know that I had cancer back in 2007. I’m in good health, but can’t swallow, or talk very good anymore due to residual effects of radiation treatments.
I spend most of my time in my shop, woodturning. It’s my new hobby since retirement and I’m having a lot of fun. I mainly make bowls of all sizes and have just started making cigar ashtrays.
I’m still buying and shooting guns, but have sold off a few guns from my surplus gun collection.
I hope that all is well with everyone.

Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant. For the elephant has tusk and to see him is to have his tusk dig deep into your soul. You will always have a part of you that will be cold and empty.

Re: I’m still alive
Good to hear from you, Candyman! I'd wondered where you got off to.
No more fixing rifle stocks?

Welcome back!

Re: I’m still alive
I still repair stocks, but don’t take in much these days. With retirement, training my service dog and woodturning, I don’t have much extra time. But I do spend a lot of time in my shop making a mess.
Here’s some of the fruits of my labor.

So, no more stories of the magic crate?

Re: I’m still alive
I still have a bunch of crates. I have a friend coming to visit in the summer. He wants me to build a crate for his Carcano rifles.
Going to copy my Russian K98 crate.
