O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

Stig, those maul's are pretty nice. I had one in my hands for a few minutes and made it a gift for a elderly family member. Maybe one day (with any luck) it will be mine. That's how well built they are.

 

[stig]

I've used them as graduation presents for logging apprentices, but never got around to buying one for myself.

It is nice that tools like that are still made.

I feel the same way about my custom Wesco boots.

I have 3 different Gransfors axes. The quality is only surpased by there function. Great buy Stig. Bet you find an excuse for a 2nd

Those are the longest piggies I've ever seen.

 

[SkwerI]

Those are the longest piggies I've ever seen.

They look normal to me. Mine are about that long as well.

 

[squisher]

Freakish.


Lol.

 

[stig]

Normal length, but crooked.
Most of them have been broken once or twice. A side effect of kicking people while barefoot.

 

[SkwerI]

I haven't bought it yet, but I'm getting an itch to buy a car. I don't buy vehicles very often and average about 7-9 years between purchases. I've had my current truck 7 years and I'm thinking about getting something to run around in when I don't need a truck. There are only about 4-5 car models I'd even be willing to buy but this will probably be my choice.

 

[squisher]

I'll race ya.

Would it be much more expensive to go for a convertible mustang?

I rented one when I went to Cali, and it was just such a joy to drive with the top down.

On the other hand, with the top up, it felt like wearing a medieval knight's helmet, with only a slit to see through.

 

[SkwerI]

No way would I buy a convertible. I know 2 people with convertible Mustangs and both of them leak, replacement is $4000. I prefer air conditioning and a lack of outside noise.

I'm leaning toward the 300hp six cylinder as opposed to the GT for better fuel economy as well as lower insurance. The GT emblems would only get me more speeding tickets.

 

[sotc]

As if 300 hp isn't enough in a car! My bucket truck is 22k# and just over half that!

 

[squisher]

300hp is only just enough, if the car is light that is.

 

[sotc]

I have just over that in my 7500# truck, just right

Seems my boots are starting to kick the bucket. Sierra Trading Post didn't have my favorites last time, so I went with something different. Noticed they had my favorites again this morning, and they sent me a 35% off coupon, so I should be good for this summer now. I was going to try Limmer's but I'm on a bit of a budget now so those will have to wait till next year.

 

[SkwerI]

I like Asolos but they are too narrow for my feet, even the wide widths run too skinny.

 

[simplypete]

same here on the Asolos. Too narrow. Although they wear pretty tough. I prefer the La Sportiva's with the 3/4 shank.

 

[brendonv]

Some day I'd really like to get custom boots made up. Both my feet are different, and flat. Sucks.

These will be my next boots, maybe make it a mini vacation to get fitted.

[simplypete]

Those boots look nice. What do they get for a custom fit, build?

 

[Dave Shepard]

I'm about due for a custom made pair of shoes. Having sasquatch feet isn't much fun.

 

[brendonv]

I think 6 bills, Pete.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Oh lord...

 

[simplypete]

I'm sure they would be worth every penny. I'm gratefull that my feet are content with regular boots.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Me too!!!

 

[flushcut]

Vibergs are on the short list for this guy for a spur boot and my Lowa renegades for the pruning.
