    Honest Question

    Roger Scruton has written some great books and has a Utube channel. He's one of my favorites. Hi Roger, I've been missing your comments about plastic rails! This Model 1894 Marlin is from some sort of parallel universe. It's an anachronism reminding me that there are fewer craftsmen...

    Honest Question

    This is a very deep subject. Much deeper as we've seen the disappearing Greatest Generation and Baby boomers give way to the first generation to ever demand their rights be taken away.

    Question: fusing gold to steel

    Hi Diane, thank-you very much. I haven't been on here but happened to wander in and see your question. I also couldn't pass up the opportunity to mention Chris Nelson. His shop was in Colorado and was one of the best learning experiences. It was pure heaven to wake up when the wood stove...

    Question: fusing gold to steel
