    Well. I would look on e-bay. But usually can be a little more expensive. Here is a link to some on there now.

    I do not know where C.I. got his. But I seem to remember him saying he can get them cheap up where he is. They apparently are a common thing up in his area. I can't wait to try mine out!

    The wife bought me 2 sound bars (one for basement TV and one for Living room TV), my Father bought me another Mig welder (other one is about junk), my Secret Santa from here made me the FHC logo sign and bought me the Stihl sign (love them both), and I got myself a Stihl Box for the basement.

    The FHC logo, Stihl sign, and Stihl box are gonna look good down there!!

    These are awesome - Main Christmas present from Mom & Dad - Fireplace bellows that are made from Tulip Poplar heartwood,cowhide & solid brass.All American Made quality.First glance I thought it might be a light-colored Black Walnut,but upon further examination the tell tale appearance of greenish-brown with the occasional black mineral streak gives it away.Plus Tulip is softer,lighter in weight & the pores are smaller,arranged different than Walnut.Its been over 20 years since I seen any of these in a store or mail order catalogue,had no idea they were still being made.Only ones I seen in the past were worn out ones that were beat to death with cracked/rotted leather & cracked wood with worm holes found at an estate sale/auction,flea market or garage sale.Great for wall hanging,but not to actually use.

    I'll see if I can find them Dave I made a pair out of eye bolts as few years ago. I just used a bench grinder and ground them into spikes then drove them into a log and pulled it out with my s10 at the time. Since I've got the k1500 I can't really do that because the truck is so big it's hard to get into the woods easily.

    This is a present that will be nice for the pellet stove at camp.

    I received a few smaller gifts. My big gift I bought myself was the 460 I got from MM earlier. Best gift today was the fourwheeler we got the girls. They loved it!

    Thistle, I can remember having one of those when I was a kid. Used it many a time to get the old Defiant going. I wonder what ever happened to it?

    A very special Thank you to my FHC Secret Santa. I have not hung them yet, but here is the Logo and Stihl sign in its home. I want to find the best spot for them. As they are the 2 nicest hanging pieces I now own.


    (Need to touch up some areas that peeled from when I moved the pool table).

    CL find for $50! Had to buy it. I would spend that much on a cheap end table.

    They were originally designed to hold demolition saws (TS400/700/800) and retailed for several hundred bucks IIRC. I say you did good!

    That room is turning out awesome! I am totally jealous, and I will be coming out soon to check it out. I'm inviting myself over for some beers.

    Your more than welcome anytime bro. Always a pleasure to have you. :)

    I just cut my 12' wood rack that's downstairs, so I can rearrange and make room for the bar. So the layout will still change some.

    The Foose Ball table will move and bar will go back there.

    Had a wonderful day! Got me a new vacuum sealer to replace my old one and a Bose ear set for my iPhone.
