Wanted: Sandblaster & Hot-Bluing Tank!I recently visited Collector's Firearms to check out a revolver that they'd added to their stock. It was a S&W Model 1917 in .45 ACP, at a very reasonable price. The Smith & Wesson Model 1917 revolver has long been on my acquisition list, but for various reasons, mostly financial, I've never been in a position to acquire one.Back in the day, you could pick

Use A Bigger Hammer!OK, take two on the angel wings project...Since actual pictures of angel wings are a bit scarce, I hunted around to find a reasonable alternative, and settled on some swan wings.They look OK, but there was a problem with the source image that actually worked out in my favor. Are there any ornithologists out there who can spot the error?Anyway, here's the second version,

It's frustrating beyond belief when you have

Temptation From Down UnderWay back when, I was a regular viewer of BBC America on cable TV. Lots of BritComs to watch, and I got pretty addicted to Ground Force, AbFab and Monarch Of The Glen. Mostly due to certain cast members...There was a chat show called 'So Graham Norton', the titular host of which is gay as a tree full of parrots. It was a really funny & risque show, the sort of thing
