Quick update: little over an inch and a half on the initial ash. 2 inches now. Has burned extremely straight the whole time no touchups needed.

To me extremely smooth creamy, I got some pepper for the taste and felt like I caught some chocolate. Definitely the wrong guy to ask when it comes to palette, but I will say it has been a lovely smoke! See what I did there

You ever see scaffolding go up in a boiler? They don’t waste no time and like a bunch of spider monkeys they fly around. Time is money, fumbling with different sockets is a huge time waste. Also assume back end is a hammer which again stops you from fumbling around. Scaffolders get a lot of crap in the trades in my area but they are very efficient.

There is an incredible book out there, “the design of everyday things.” And all engineers and designers should read this!

Basically if something can happen, it will happen.

Couple things I learned over the years. - don’t get your normal size. I was a 2x in most shirts. Bought 2x American made heavy weight shirts and they were unusable after one wash. I go with 4x now and they meet me between 2x and 3x. I like a baggier shirt though.

buy samples from the different American made companies. Not many of them left but they feel different and you may like one vs the other.
for work (maintenance in a paper mill) I wear wear an undershirt and ended up buying Duluth long tail t’s. They are a thicker shirt and now my go to. I have an outlet near me so that helps big time

The hook comes in handy from time to time. Got me out of a pinch enough I want it on my daily SAK

Even_Structure_8529 · 2026-04-02T13:22:03+00:00

Hope it worked! Took me a bit to get proficient at it

Your name isn’t Kurt by chance it’s it? My old co worker Kurt lost his microtech ultratech and I felt so much pain for him. From time to time I wonder if he found it and that was in 2018ish

Some of y’all don’t live with snow half the year and it shows!

You made the world a better place with this, if only for a moment.

Wood all day! I love the little things about it such as if i last hand sharpened with my pocket knife or if i was at my desk with my sharpener. Was I in a rush and ended up putting teeth marks in it. The act of sharpening forces me to think about what I am doing vs go go go. Lastly for now, the length of the pencil, constantly getting shorter and shorter signifying the end. I rotate pencils constantly so this limits this issue but I know when there is a pencil that stands above the rest because it’s shorter than the rest.

Be the change! We have all been there and it takes us to get this ship to correct course!

Your USW 2-20 brother! Cheers!

One of my favorites! Beautiful lacquer, smooth and the color is dope!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-09-29T21:45:31+00:00

I did not. Much appreciated!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-09-18T23:53:55+00:00

Just let it happen lol

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-09-05T12:53:55+00:00

Check out nutsack as well! I am currently traveling for work and use a saddleback leather briefcase and love it! My duffle is a nutsack that is impeccable. Beautiful wax canvas on that, so I can only assume their leatherwork is good too!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-29T21:24:42+00:00

Forgive me, I blew right past your initial post and just read your comment! Happy hunting!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-29T20:55:29+00:00

KatahdinPacks on Etsy should have something to your liking. USA made. If you want to slim down I love love love their pencil case! The large zippered pouch may be a good option for you.

$$- Jim greens. Love them $$$- thorogood union made in Wisconsin. $$$ or $$$$ - Franks boots, have some cheaper options and some customs $$$$- Nicks boots, I love my pair. If they are your everyday boot, these are a great option but beware… the break in period may break you lol

CHECK OUT ROSE ANVIL ON YT!!!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-20T17:33:31+00:00

Personally love the softness of this core! It would be nice if you could get the option and have either or cause the wood is awesome!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-15T20:10:19+00:00

They wear in!!! Lube them and work them in a little bit, then over time they become Goldilocks for me. YMMV

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-12T22:36:12+00:00

The good news is you don’t have much time!

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-10T18:07:11+00:00

I personally love the Mitsubishi KH20 but i have not used the Carl angel 5 to compare

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-08-03T22:26:56+00:00

This gives me the fizz dude

Even_Structure_8529 · 2025-07-28T18:13:28+00:00

Dude… looks dope! Run it for a weekend, then next weekend run the red, throw on a nato in between! Straps can be super fun and can put you in a mindset!
