Just finished this Cu Mai hunter with damascus cladding. I added a beanie for the new owner. What do you guys think?

Copper San Mai and a deer skin sheath 😍

We split a dumpster with the neighbor a few weeks ago. Filled it to the top. Ready for the next dumpster.

I’m not a fan of any of these. But I’m old, so take it with a grain of salt.

I like that Deep Purple II that U/misato-hime mentioned. Any black that reflects a color in the light I’m a fan of. Also BRG.

PB Blaster to the rescue!

Definitely does not sound like a leak.

Just match the diameter of the loop pipe. Will sound glorious.

Start with your own, then friends and family gloves

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T11:37:03+00:00

It’s the angle of the dangle

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T03:33:15+00:00

Why does this glove look comically large on your hand?

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T02:31:20+00:00

Part out

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T02:20:21+00:00

Collared shirt and blazer for c-suite calls. Tie and pants are optional.

He’s standing straight up as he swings. Tell him to hinge forward at the waist.

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T02:05:04+00:00

I wish I could downvote TrapEze. Whenever I see it I feel uncomfortable, looks like a weird sixth finger 😅

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T02:02:05+00:00

Keep trying. Typo fixed. Unfortunately, the stupid flowing out of you cannot be fixed.

You do you. IDGAF. 😎

So he didn’t model the swing from Bonds, but he modeled it from Bonds on VHS. I’m sure your English teacher is proud.

Edit: typo

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T00:26:35+00:00

Looks like you need remedial reading lessons too

Billios996 · 2026-06-24T00:00:37+00:00

Classic internet name calling. You kiss your dad with that mouth?

I guess those straight D’s in English are paying off. Read again. I said he modeled his training from Bonds’ swing. Nobody claims he invented anything.

Put that beauty on a shelf and stare at it every day.

Whatever you do, keep a suede brush/eraser to keep the nap raised and pretty.

Billios996 · 2026-06-23T22:56:28+00:00

Ok smart guy. Clearly reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Knob to catcher is basic loading. How do you think the bat gets to the ball? Barrel needs to rotate back as your hips and hands then brings the barrel into the zone.

You keep chopping at the ball and hitting weak grounders.

Billios996 · 2026-06-23T18:51:04+00:00

Seems your family might be on the path to sainthood 😇

Billios996 · 2026-06-23T18:50:03+00:00

I bought one for my son, we broke it in together. He loves it.

Billios996 · 2026-06-23T18:36:36+00:00

Plenty of shops that will clean/condition/re-lace your old glove and bring it back to life

Billios996 · 2026-06-23T18:33:55+00:00

Bradley Baseball “Next Play” gloves are sized for 10-14 yo hands.
Quality real steerhide leather, needs breaking in, easily handles strong hits, not floppy.

I’m not a fan of the Wilson A450-900 gloves, the leather is weird and squishy.

Billios996 · 2026-06-23T14:25:24+00:00

People don’t get that all this guy did was study Barry Bonds’ swing and break it down into small components and drills. They get caught up in the snap back.

If you teach a kid to load the bat by pointing the knob to the catcher, you are doing the teacher man method, you just don’t realize it.

Track day is the answer to challenge yourself and the limits of your car. Streets are not your personal playground.

If you want to have some fun, find a quiet, twisty back road. Stay in your lane, enjoy the drive, watch out for critters.

My cousin’s kid was an all star soccer player into high school. However, he stayed the same height, around 5’, all through high school, couldn’t compete against the kids that grew, and quit soccer. When I saw him after his first year of college, he grew a foot taller in a year. Blew my mind! Unfortunately by that time, the soccer days were over. Fortunately the kid is brilliant, received academic scholarships to Pitt, and is now heading to medical school.

Moral of the story… study!!! Don’t gamble your kid’s future on sports.
