My ranger hasnt wanted to start in the cold - so finally had a nice warm day - & went out & started it , so figured since I had it going ide run it down to a local guy for a little tune up - This is the phone call I got .... sorry but the rubber boot on this has a crack & has been sucking in dirt & so your piston is shot , you have no compression ( only about 40 pounds , you should be at 90+) . Especially when its cold . When its warm it will get enough to turn over & run , but you need to have the head pulled & piston replaced . But the guy really didnt want to dive into that kind of a project , & Im not sure I do either .... short on cash at the moment .... So any offers on a used ranger that has been great , I think Ive hauled 6-8 elk out with it , but one that needs the head pulled & piston replaced .... ( according to mechanic ) Im completely in the dark on this sort of thing .... if it were made of wood I could fix anything - but mechanics not so much . Or is it even worth fixing ??

Yes I am

Rossislider - I did the rugs

For a couple 1st harvest for some youth hunters .

Yea those juniper mantles come out really cool , that one came from wallow fire & has some burn in it , the black soot is a mess to work with , but looks really good once done . The top is the prettiest & no one sees it . But they sure are pretty .

You thought about mothers day yet ? Got your wife something special ? Ive got ya covered . Hand made vases & flowers , these are all hand made , including the wood flowers . Made out of oak, pine, walnut, juniper , cedar ... what ever kind of knots & burrels I can find & pick up , the grain on them is incredible.... $95 each Headboard benches - I make benches out of head/foot boards The two little ones go great in a little girls room . $95 each The medium brown one $150, & large brown one $225...Im always making new ones ... Shabby chic shelf / coat hangers .... made out of old wood doors & knobs , with hooks . $125 each , constantly making more as I find knobs & doors .... I live in Taylor but will be coming to mesa / Florence March 31-1 to the high school rodeo in Florence ( staying in mess ) Willie going to Wilcox April 21-22 for high school rodeo & Prescott May 5-6 ....

Weve shot quite a few with 243. No problems , just set them up & teach them placement , not just filling the scope with hair, but actually places it were they want it , double lung & they dont go far . You find the kids have more patience waiting for a good shot ( if youve taught them ) then most adults

Anyone into making go carts , or need a new motor for something . I got this quite a few years ago & it has sat in tbe box in my store room never opened except to take pic of it . Time it finds a new home - $250 or trade for fir a Henry lever 22...

The mexico Goulds is for sale , had a friend decide he didnt want to have it done - after ide had the head freeze dried & I was tired of moving it around in my freezer . So did it with another I was doing - a little girls first gobbler . So anyway the Goulds is for sale . $850.00 One of these is tbe Goulds tbe other a merriams .

I havent kept exact track but its been about 50-50 for the ones that have & hsvnt had spurs - this pic is my sons archery Goulds 4 year old bird ( according to tbe records of when it was caught as a Jake & released & when we got it ) & it has just barely little nubs , these are not worn down - they are just not there ( genetically ) . The Goulds from the pic in the first post has thick ( wide at the base ) spurs but only a little over 1/2 long .

The one on the right is a Goulds , however Ive had Goulds with the tips the color of the other one and Ive done merriams with bright white tips ... the Goulds is bigger but its not by very much . The top of these birds heads were almost the same height , the Goulds is a little fuller through the body & tail ... but its pretty minimal .... at least for the minimal #s Ive done - about a dozen Goulds including one my son shot with a bow , & they are very very similar in coloring & size to merriams , Another Goulds & merriams No idea why they turned sideways anyone can fix it feel free .

Prayers sent for you & your family , may you continue to receive & see gods miracles & tender mercies in your lives .

Oh 500 give r take .

My beef calves are doing great, still have steers & heifers for sale , quality animals - NO sale barn runts , bull & mothers on sight all raised by me . My bull is out of a registered black angus cow. ( these will be weaned & ready to take about anytime in oct that fits your schedule . Know we're your beef comes from , come get a couple & finish off how you want them . $800 once weaned in oct . I'll feed them the next 2 months .....

LAst year I posted some calves but waited to long , had lots of people say they wanted them but then never showed up.... so this year I'm trying something different..... my calves are starting to hit the ground, i have 8 on the ground now, and another 10 or so to come anyday.... these are out of a very nice black angus bull, the bulls mother was registered, we just never registered him. but he is a great bull.... about half my calves have black angus mothers and the other half have red herford mothers.... all are great calves.... no junk , no sale barn, all raised at my place in taylor.... all mothers and bull on sight.... we give them there vaccine shot at around a month old, and that is the only thing we give them..... this is what I am proposing.... the calves will sale around OCT 1st when I wean them for $800.00 with a $400.00 deposit you can secure your calf, I will keep it on the mother and raise it from now until as close to Oct. 1st as you can make arrangements to come get it. it will weigh in the neighborhood of 500-600 lbs..... then you can come pick out the one you want and pay the remaining $400.00 ..... that way I know for sure how many I have sold..... you can then take it home and finish it off the way you want.... corn/grain/grass/alfalfa/beer ..... what ever.... keep it through the fall/winter and then butcher it when it is to the weight and size you want..... this way it will also give you the next 6 months to secure a place to keep it, fix fence get pasture ready or what ever.... anyway here is a sample of calves I already have on the ground.... if your interested in raising your own beef, and want to secure a calf now, drop me a line, thanks tommy

That was tbe next question what kind of hinges you used on tbe back side of it .,, Yea my grandads I carved hunting scenes into it w a Dremel tool , making it personal like you say to fit the man . You do awesome work as always !

Nice work Jeff , !! Does tbe lid open all as one or did you split it so tbe top 1/3 openes separately? Dad & I have built a few very similar , made the top one piece then cut it in two pieces so just 1/3 opened up for tbe viewing , but after cutting it sometimes doesn't want to line up as well , i made my granddads w elk antler handles , & then we built one with stirrup handles . I like your cinch closers alot , mind if I "borrow" your idea on that ? Sorry for your loss brother !
