Restoring the finish on Utility furniture
Tung oil is often used on gunstocks to restore or as an original finish. When you consider that custom gunmakers use this on stocks that can easily run into thousands of dollars, it is not something to fear.- DeaconKC

What do you use to shave?
Derby blades are my favorite. Very rarely do you get a bad one. I love my old Gillettes and have discovered that prep is the most important part of the shave. Proraso, Crabtree & Evelyn and Van der Hagen soaps have all served me well.- DeaconKC

Show us your Guns!
Well, gave the Taurus 38 a little TLC. Still gotta do something with the grips, but that is okay. Some brass wool & oil, then cleaned and cold blued. I wouldn't do this to a collector's gun, but for a bedside piece it is a lot better. The little mud puppy cleaned up okay.- DeaconKC

What pens are we carrying today?
Sheaffer still puts very good nibs on their pens. Even the Javelin series has a very smooth nib. If you get one and are not happy with it, they will work on them for you. If you pick up a used one, there are several excellent "nibmeisters" out there to tune one for you.- DeaconKC

Article: "No Cane, No Gain".
That's what the staff was for John, defense, the rod was was for correction. As far as fearing parents, I never feared my parents, but the results of wrongdoing. A parent who cannot control their temper will abuse the child. Spanking must be done in love, my folks always hated having to give a...- DeaconKC

What Truck to Buy?
Also, you will have to change the valve system in most motors as they were designed for leaded gasoline. As a driver, I would stick with post war Ford Chevy or GMC as the parts will be MUCH easier to find as opposed to IHC or Jeep for example.- DeaconKC

Belt and Suspenders
It is also useful for those of us who carry a handgun, having a couple pounds of metal attached to your belt can be much more comfortable with suspenders to help keep everything from heading for the Mason Dixon Line!- DeaconKC

Article: "No Cane, No Gain".
There is a huge difference in discipline and child abuse. I deal with abuse daily. I received spankings as a kid, at home and at school. It did no damage but certainly did enforce good behavior. Some kids might never need a spanking, but others will. The Bible speaks of the rod of correction...- DeaconKC

No Storm here Renault! I too, have found the same thing in ammo quality. Ultramag, Wolf have both failed me badly in the last year. Rimfire has been a crap shoot with the last 3 bricks i bought from Remington, Winchester and Federal. Hopefully, as the war in Afghanistan closes down, the makers...- DeaconKC
