[MakoPat]

Firstly, I want to thank each and everyone of you for being you. Kindest group I ever met. Your generosity is unmatched. And I have had some health and personal issues and this forum (you people) has brightened my darker days.

Not neccesarily in order as my memory is not to be trusted.

From a trade woth a very patient Stringslap. Pics 1-3...I dig the OPFS and may have to customize it with some art. I did not have one of the "S" Y slingshot...Great work, but it kind of hurts my pinkie.
Thanks, StringSlap

Next pic is from BushpotChef. The spinner is just fun...And the Torque (also new to my collection) is a solid bit of engineering for sure. Buy once again I a PFS finds me. I love it...because a friend made it, it's unique (as he is) and it's a PFS.
Thanks, Chef.

Lastly, from Port Boy (who gave me my favorite PFS, Sheltowee-tiny turtle out of olive wood) 2 gappers (though the smaller of the 2 could be a pfs in a technical sense.) Funny thing, I had bought 3 Metro Made cores and had a Jester...but someone really, really liked it & I traded it to her. Then another one comes to me unexpectedly! And a cool patch & leather ammo pouch.

This time I dressed it up in olive.

Be well, friends.

I love sling mail now I have to rewind a little Pat had a line on olive Opinels and I like knives and I wanted one so I ask if he could get me one and this fella went and got me one and sent it to me money and time out his pocket and day so I had a jester core (think u can still get them off metro fb page if u want one )and I know Pat loves gappers so I sent it to him .but now he says he sending me a package and I can not wait talk about a snow ball effect lol .thanks my friend for keeping things interesting ????????

I have to agree with you Mako about this forum being the nicest guys ever. I was just commenting to my wife how every other forum I have been in has always been a bunch of tough guys with attitudes.
No attitudes here, just nice guys sharing a cool hobby.

Glad you like your stuff Pat you're an awesome dude, very cool stuff from the other guys! @M Mars couldn't agree with you more I was on a paintball forum for 4 years and it was the same crap there, keyboard ninjas left and right lol. This is truly a hub of fine, like minded folks keeping the guff to a minimum and really making the hobby work for one another. Always solid posts by informed members about relevant topics (admittedly much of this is rehashed - such is the nature of our humble pastime lol) & very little negativity.

As @Stringslap said looking forward to posting my end of our trade and thanks for being you too!

May all your steel fly straight my brother in the smoky mountains!

Fun Fun Fun !!!! You're gonna be a busy boy for a while!!

 

[MakoPat]

Yeah, making all day tomorrow except for some early morning fishing.

Here is that Jester (such an appropriate flips for a joker like me) all dressed up.

 

[31610]

Wow u really turned that core into a sweet frame u setting the bar high for me on the 3 I am going to do it’s going to be fun builds just might take a little while !

 

[MakoPat]

A Capuchin! I have one and a Tyton that I just cannot start on...I'd be happy to see what you do, Port Boy...I need the inspiration. I rough cut some cherry for it...but it just looked wonky and all.

I sqt it aside to wait...still waiting.

I wish Mr. Au would come back on and tell me hoq he would do it.

I am think of getting some 1/8" paduak or Bolivian Rosewood.

But lately hard maple and olive are my favorites. Well, and some "hickory" I put on a flip for StringSlap (That I suspect is actually pecan).

All are in the same family of trees...but it was way too easy to work, smelled like hickory, figures like walnut...I have more it.

I just talked myself though my problem...but I am still gonna wait and see this rosewood 1st.

 

[31610]

Man I am in the same boat I even have a nibbler I made might of made my wave hole a little big so do I scale it and cover over or just make some band grooves and polish out wrap some flats on it ? But the other 3 one is getting olive and two I am going to cheat send to uncle and get them g10 scales cnc out than I will finish off .The only thing I know for sure is u killed that jester build hats off to ya Pat makes me happy to see it ready for action ????
