Frodo, those are so cool!

Here's another idea if you ever get bored. I found them while google searching for something.

Although, I think that could be a waste of some useful parts.

Those are so neat! How did you get the twisted looking one to go like that? Is that separate pieces intertwined? Kinda reminds me of ancient jewelry, which is cool. I love things from ancient cultures.

My biggest 'hobby' is my dogs, I love to work with them...do a little obedience and training, etc.. I'm hoping to turn this guy into my service dog, but only time will tell there.

LOL,,,we were sitting around discussing holsters for our 1911's. I made the statement I thought a paracord holster would be different.

A buddy said it could not be done.

oh oh,,,,that means i have to do it..

so, last couple of days I have been eye ball deep in knots and snags....not only did i make a holster, i made a spare mag holster also


now they all want one.........

first picture is magazine holder,,,which can also be a cell phone or smart phone/tablet holder.

a budy wants one for his magpul 6

i think i need to start charging these freeloaders..... NANN! then they would start charging me

and that wont do !!!

this is the first one, it has learning curve flaws, the next will be perfict

Applebear, is it you or the dog that has right and left wrong, or is there a reason for that. Nice art work.

I was actually trying to teach him something else that requires a cue word, which was 'left'...he wasn't getting it and I just figured, "heck with it" and started teaching him to shake with wrong paw as a joke.

Can't beat them, join them....hehe :D
 
I think I'm about to have a hobby of making a grumpy cat sign saying "Get Off My Lawn" because the people from the power company were just running large tractors all over my lawn and parked right on top of my field lines-- I told the dude 3 times at least to get off of my field lines and he just sat there.. If he damaged my lines, I will be a very grumpy cat.

Edit: I looked at pictures of adorable kittens to cheer myself up.

I need a soundbyte of Clint Eastwood saying "get off my lawn" from Gran Torino movie. Heh.

And I discovered a very strange hobby that some people have of making Youtube videos of themselves opening easter eggs, blind toy boxes, play-doh covered containers, etc and making comments about the contents. Boring as hell, but my friend's 2-year-old LOVES it.
