    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    The concept for work is that you earn the pay you receive. What you do must have enough value to cover the wage. Not doing a good job just because the pay is low is not an excuse, it is a type of theft.

    I think that the idea of an open crown which allows you some self expression and individuality as to the "bash" has some tremendous advantages for those that are pursuing an individual "look." The other choice is either pre-bashed or taking it to a hatter and using a block. The advantage to...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    A lot of blacksmiths can be found under Wrought Iron Work. Friend of a friend did a lot of gate making in Wrought Iron. Fantastic artistry and symetry.

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    The thing is there where measurable shifts with each decade. In the eighties if I showed you a picture of the bad guy, he was ratty looking, evil looking, either shaven head or long haired greasy type and had tattoos. Basically biker gang drug dealing white trash. By the late nineties the...
