A curious thing, I ran a cloth tape around the inside of the Woolrich pants and it measured 35” same as the ‘military’ pants but there is no way they fit me. Although a 36” is loose on me go figure. That said they both have a generous excess material to let them out if you are so inclined. Jim

I agree with Glenn. Canoetripping would be a good place to donate to. Alan you already contribute. Jim

I can try and measure the remaining ones but even if they are just a bit larger I at least need room to tuck in the shirt. Jim

If I did I’d be wearing them, lol. Just remembered I have a pair of wool knickers of the same vintage. I should check on them as I doubt they fit anymore either. Wool knickers anyone? That is what I wore cross country skiing. Jim

I those look to be bent on the form itself. I was kind of thinking a wilderness toboggan but that gentle reverse bend has me wondering. Jim

The Filson pants are spoken for. Jim

What do you suppose is the bending form for, the one under the light on right hand side of the pic. Thanks keeping us up on the progress. Jim

Thanks Alan. Boy do I miss being a 32”. Jim

I meant to put these up last month but I don’t know where the time goes. That said I’ve had these probably close to 40 years, longer for the Filson pair. The waist is 32”. First up is the Filson the legs are un hemmed and they have never been worn. The next up are from Woolrich. And the...

I’ve worked with someone that made a strip boat then used that to make a female mold once that was tested she had me finish off the stripper so she could sell it. Jim

Many people drill a small hole in one of the wings on the nut and attach a lanyard of a bright color. I’m about to do that to mine. Jim

You are welcome Snapper. Jim

I found this video about the development of the Sven saw. I thought it was interesting. I thought I had two but when I just dug them out I found out one is an imposter. The imposter failed to tension the blade and the handle is too short to hold outside the frame. I do like the saw but...

When I bought my Hornbeck I was concerned about this too. But despite being directly over the transponder it has no effect. On a related issue there is now a scam going around that involves ez-pass, I’ve gotten it twice. It claims your transponder wasn’t working when you went through a toll...

I still have some slot cars and track from 55 years ago. Why? I have no idea. Got them when we cleaned out my dads house. Jim

So who knows what a killick is without looking it up? Glad you got it emptied. Jim

That is stunning! Thank you for sharing along the way. Jim

Glue in wood wedges. Jim

That’s a good question Alan. Jim

Thanks for sharing that Benson, I had no idea who made it. Jim
