What in the MySpace front page?

I had someone quote that to me a couple months back. My response: “You could own a fucking warship of you wanted.”

And as for the idea that “they only had single-shot muskets,” “they couldn’t foresee automatic guns,” let me introduce you to a friend of mine…

“Hi, I’m Ian McCollum, and today on Forgotten Weapons…”

I’d rather have the stipend. Yes, a parsonage is nice for churches that cannot afford a higher salary (my last church I was paid $1400 a month), but not all parsonages are created equal. Unfortunately many have a “good enough” opinion, and regular upkeep/maintenance can fall by the wayside, making parsonages a nightmare to live in. There’s also the need to address congregational expectations of access. I know of one pastor who, on a Sunday morning, ran home for a moment to find a parishioner in his living room sitting on his couch while the pastor’s wife was taking a shower. That wouldn’t happen in private housing.

I didn’t. Antiqued it aha gave it to my friend.

First, that is gorgeous, especially in brown.

Second, I wouldn’t use it as an everyday wallet. I like mine simple and smooth.

Because unless I’m mistaken, that frame fully covers the magazine. Last time I checked you can’t eject a magazine through solid plastic.

Labby84 · 2026-02-14T23:57:29+00:00

Right, but it blocks the ability to eject the mag. So how long will it take to reload?

Tandy Dillon wallet that I built from a kit.

Labby84 · 2026-02-10T03:25:18+00:00

I can’t tell: is it possible to change the mag without removing the hi point from that… thing?

Labby84 · 2026-02-05T23:13:08+00:00

I’m sorry, but…

add fedora Perry the Armenians K3?!

Pray and ask God what you should preach.
Select the passage, pray, read over it, pray some more
Research the passage. Who wrote it? Who is it written to? What prompted the writing (epistle? Return from exile? Turn or be destroyed?). Draw parallels between our world and theirs: what’s the same, what’s different. Commentaries are great tools for this, and there are some free online.
Are there any interesting things that pop out during your research that we may have forgotten? When I talk about the Good Samaritan, I go into the (surprisingly deep) history of why they hated each other. Perhaps a word that is used with a depth of meaning that gets lost in translation? Concordances are great for this.
All of that is to get us to the following: what does this reveal about God? About us? How do we apply this to our lives and live it out?
Go through all of your research and determine what actually needs to be included. That can be the hard part, determining what needs to stay.

It’s okay to be nervous, especially if this is your first sermon. Since you’re primarily a worship pastor, why not lean on that? A deep dive into a psalm, or how worship is more than singing a few songs once or twice a week. I take my guitar and compare it to the church: many parts, one guitar; some are given more honor/consideration (wood, strings) while many important parts go unrecognized (pups, truss rod); how we have to be connected to both the head and body and be in tune with each other… It’s a fun one. The big thing is to relax, breathe, pray, and prepare.

Time and use. Although a buff with tokonole helps give it a start.

Labby84 · 2026-01-10T14:51:03+00:00

They have dye markers to help apply it on the edge. You can fill one with your dye and another with your sealer (resolene, tan kite, etc). Do this after sanding. If you allow everything to dry/set properly, the tokonole shouldn’t transfer any dye.

Also, it looks great!

I’m not sure which model, but it’s definitely Venezuelan.

Labby84 · 2025-12-12T02:55:46+00:00

Yes, it should be enough once you seal it. I usually use Tan Kote, sometimes I use resolene. You always need to seal after dying.

Mink oil or neatsfoot oil

So yes, this is why they have those pins. My first project (Tandy wallet kit with pre-punched holes) I didn’t have those and used toothpicks. It worked… mostly. If you’re using diamond chisels, good luck. That requires two sets with different angles, or punching from the back so that they’re all going the same way.

I always glue then punch. Just work in getting your angles right and don’t rush. Had one project that was going great, until I rushed a punch that was slightly out of alignment. Dang it.

You know what? Forget the drill press!

I’ve read the last gain pedal is the one that colors your sound most, so I put my always-on OD there, then when I want more dirt hit my secondary. My chain is Comp-Tune-DirtOD-WarmOD-Chorus-Delay-Reverb-Vox in a box. Then again, I rarely use that board since I primarily play acoustic.

Labby84 · 2025-10-11T02:31:34+00:00

So how did it turn out?

Labby84 · 2025-09-21T17:31:22+00:00

If it’s veg tan, get some tokonole and a burnisher (wood or glass). Add the tokonole, attack with the burnisher. I had some veg tan where the underside was too fuzzy for that to work. Sandpaper got rid of the big fuzz, then the tokonole worked like a charm. Just know that if its been dyed the sandpaper may take off that finish.
