Re: SteamPunk Clothing.

Coincidentally, I just ordered some stuff from Historical Emporium. I was surprised at the quality, having been burned a fair bit by costume-grade crap over the years. As expenses allow I imagine I'll be sending some more business their way.

Re: First Time at the Range!

One of the stranger aspects of reenacting is the break from the collecting side of the hobby. Most collectors will spend a grand or better on some new toy and keep it like a museum piece.

Re: First Time at the Range!

Today was the semi-quarterly check to make sure the Thompson still works. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1941/31296626438_c6fdeae48f_z_d.jpg ...still working on that rate of fire.

Re: Today in History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact some of my feelings about certain politicians deploying the US military without fully supporting the missions are so strong they may not belong on the revitalized Fedora chronicles at all. No such thing as 'does not belong'. Fire away. Yeah...what kind of classy joint do you think this is, ...

If I recall, today (October 3) also marks the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu.

Re: The Never-Ending Shop Projects thread (redux/Director's Cut)

'Craftsman' is debatable. I consider myself a very gifted raccoon.

Actually, I keep meaning to get before/after and in-progress pictures, but my ancient cell phone is incapable of taking anything larger than a postage stamp. I may eventually spring for a cheap camera that I can leave at the shop.

Re: I Saw This New Firearm!

My condolences, man. Seems like there's a lot of that going around lately. As pertains to the Speakeasy West...I'm eyeballing a job in South Dakota, which puts it relatively close. Just as fair warning think this calls for a TFC parade through Yellowstone. Been there once. Wanted to make the tour in...
