A good beach fishing cart makes hauling gear easier. Beach or pier fishing can be a lot of fun. There’s only one aspect we don’t enjoy and that’s hauling all our necessary fishing rods and gear from the parking lot to the spot we’re fishing. All that gear can be quite heavy. No one likes […]

Lathe-Cutting Screw Threads – Part 1, by Steve A.
Making, modifying, and using threaded fasteners seems to me to be a pretty basic part of repairs needed in keeping things running. I realize that the following information is not likely to be directly used by many of the readers due to the use of a metal lathe and the terminology.

Metro Arms, American Classic Commander 1911, by Pat Cascio
I love a good deal when it comes to firearms – so long as the gun performs as it should. I can’t afford to purchase expensive firearms – once in a while, I run into something I can’t pass up, and buy it – but the checking account takes a hit – and my wife has to figure out how to balance things. I’m also a sucker for a good 1911 – full-size, Commander-size, or Officer’s size. I haven’t been into my local FFL since the pandemic started, close to two years ago. I’m at double risk with high blood …
