    PM inbound Bear but will not take one gratis--want to pay you for your time/talent. One must not "muzzle the ox".

    Thanks... wish I could take credit for the idea... but I think it's probably centuries old... those old blacksmiths were very clever dudes :0) we could and do still learn a lot from their legacies...
    Thanks again,

    This post is a little dead by now, but amazing!

    It's actually quite stunning that we have found the abilities inside of us to create such wonderful things.

    Thanks... I agree that we all have creative abilities within us... think about it long enough, try it, practice, do it and soon enough... voila!... guess that's why I've always liked the "good old fashioned" stuff and ways... nothing was and is impossible... lot's of amazing, wondrous and beautiful things still left to be discovered and done... don't forget to pass it on and teach the children too... :0)

    Great pic... hmmm... um... it's also a great blunt force trauma tool... and if you know short stick or kubotan techniques... it can be a pretty awesome "tool" for a variety of holds and other purposes... in an otherwise innocent looking package... :0)
