The Coffee Shop / Ol' Gabby
« on: July 09, 2015, 01:52:03 am »
To those of you who may still remember me, I'm still kicking staying vertical and taking nourishment.
Been busy as a one legged well digger this spring, made 2 sets of pistol grips one for my stepson's 1911
and one I sold for another man's revolver.
I've just finished up building, (finishing it would be more correct as it is a rough machined and inletted stock) for my Ruger 10-22 rifle, lots of sanding and 10 coats of LinSpeed linseed oil finish later I think it looks pretty darn good I'll see if I can still remember how to upload photos to this post. Just noticed the post from Steve about the attachments problem, I guess I'll have to come back later and put some on here for you to see.
The wood is spalted sycamore and it really gives it a dramatic look. You wood junkies should enjoy it.
I didn't use the scroll saw on it but I did on both sets of pistol grips so I'm still using it often.
Later y'all,
Gabby

The Coffee Shop / Minor update and such
« on: October 09, 2014, 06:58:03 am »
Hey y'all
I've been remiss with my appearances here and miss my good friends from days gone bye.
I'll be doing more scrolling this winter, yep you heard right old Gabby will be working indoors, in my neighbors shop where we have real heat and lights Yee Haw! Currently I'm in the decoration phase on my second and biggest Didgeridoo, and I may have a buyer for it already. Or not! I might not be able to part with it. I plan to post photos here once it's finished, but it's in the watching grass grow stage since I'm no great artist so I progress quite slowly.
Here is a big shout out to the "Old Timers"
Alll be Baak. LOL
Poor Arnold S. impersonation,

The Coffee Shop / Old PC Died Lost all my email contacts
« on: July 22, 2014, 06:30:52 am »
All you folks who normally gabbed with me off the forum, please shoot me a line so I can get reconnected with you. The Old PC took everything with it including years of saved patterns from steve and the other pattern makers along with irreplaceable photos of family and friends, between the 2, I want to cry. 
So I'm repopulating my address book, and hoping I'll be abe to retrieve some of the lost things from a cheesy portable hard drive I had connected to the old PC.
Later folks,
Gabby

The Coffee Shop / Mallet Pattern and Didgeridoo building
« on: July 09, 2014, 09:12:05 pm »
Hey Steve your pattern is very timely, my old Alder mallet I turned on my lathe years ago is finally disintegrating and I'll need one soon.
I'll be making mine from oak because that is what I have available. Great Job!
Thanks Steve,
Gabby
Since I wrote this my other PC fried the hard drive, so I'll have to find the pattern in the blog spot.

« on: May 17, 2014, 06:20:05 am »
Hey Steve this setup works almost exactly like the old one but you've added spell check and that's a great feature. The cosmetic changes don't really matter I guess but, the old one was a little more woodsy, this new setup feels like a sheet metal shop. LOL
I know the whole gang here appreciate what you do for us.
Three cheers for Steve.
Thanks for all you do Steve.

The Coffee Shop / addresses on forums warning!
« on: March 10, 2014, 10:48:05 pm »Now I have to tell everyone of you who have just posted your e-mail on the open internet, you have opened yourselves up for every scammer in the world to be beating down your internet door selling you viagra and all sorts of crap and in the mix will be those sending you nice little trogans asking you to open a folder or some such so that it can infect your computer and make it crash after it has added itself to every address in your address book and sent itself to all of your friends.
I suggest in the future you give someone your e mail address in a secure PM,
NOT ON THE REGULAR FORUM, SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Coffee Shop / "United we stand divided we fall!"
« on: February 24, 2014, 11:39:08 pm »
"Two Americas:
The Democrats are right, there are two Americas.
The America that works, and the America that doesn?t.
The America that contributes, and the America that doesn?t.
It?s not the haves and the have nots, it?s the dos and the don?ts.
Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society, and others don?t. That?s the divide in America.
It?s not about income inequality, it?s about civic irresponsibility.
It?s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office.
It?s about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country. That?s not invective, that?s truth, and it?s about time someone said it.
The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting ?income inequality.? He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that?s not just.
That is the rationale of thievery. The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you. Vote Democrat.
That is the philosophy that produced Detroit. It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America.
It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.
The Democrats have not empowered their followers, they have enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victimhood and anger instead of ability and hope.
The president?s premise ? that you reduce income inequality by debasing the successful ? seeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices
.
Because, by and large, income variation in society is a result of different choices leading to different consequences. Those who choose wisely and responsibly have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure. Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family income.
You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college ? and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma and pushes on with purposeful education.
You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course.
Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.
My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant income inequality between us. Our lives have had an inequality of outcome, but, our lives also have had an inequality of effort. While my doctor went to college and then devoted his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant.
He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine.
Does that mean he cheated and Barack Obama needs to take away his wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.
It is not inequality Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail.
There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure.
The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy.
Even if the other guy sat on his arse and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetime?s worth of asinine and shortsighted decisions.
Barack Obama and the Democrats preach equality of outcome as a right, while completely ignoring inequality of effort.
The simple Law of the Harvest ? as ye sow, so shall ye reap ? is sometimes applied as, ?The harder you work, the more you get.? Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society.
Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster equality through mediocrity.
He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other. America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts. It is a false philosophy to say one man?s success comes about unavoidably as the result of another man?s victimization.
What Obama offered was not a solution, but a separatism. He fomented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own political benefit. That?s what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow.
Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the truth to Lincoln?s maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand."
No I didn't write this, just passed it along, and agree with it completely.

Well I'm wrapping up my season of plaque cutting by making a thank you gift for a new friend from the SR. Ctr.
He's another gun lover and firearms instructor, who dropped by when I was taking my new pistol out for its maiden test drive. Could have tapped me over with a feather when he produced a box of shells to contribute to my small store.
I especially appreciated his pointers which helped shrink my lousy groups down to a manageable size, but I hope to improve on it more when I get used to the new gun. I'm convinced it's going to be a good-un.
If you are interested it's a Ruger SR9 compact, you can get all the particulars with a simple search. So I won't bore you to tears by describing it in great detail here!
So go to the Gallery to see the latest addition of my "work".
Criticisms welcome along with great cheers of joy!
The winter is coming soon and my carport is no longer comfortable so this does it for this year.
Now if you guys would fill up a top hat with $100 bills I could build a small shop with hot and cold running redheads, forget the cold ones. LOL air conditioned and heated so I could cut all year like you civilized cutters do. Aw never mind I'd rather come on here and stir things up with that broken down highway man horse thief in Scotch land. Did I get that spelled right that's where the Scotch is from isn't it? LOLOL
Y'all take care now,
Gabby
Laughing and giggling into the sunset...........
