Fellow by the name Newkirk took me bear hunting a few years ago.
Shot a 455 lb black bear. They have a cabin in the woods and this should look good at the entrance

So is 6061 surgical stainless?

I've always wanted to try to mimic my mouthpieces in a surgical stainless steel or some other type of metal... but I bet you'd need some major equipment to correctly get all the curves, line, thicknesses, etc... hmmm.


BTW, hunting bears = You're off the Christmas list too!

HAHAHAHAHA

Ok...

1. That is one FUGLY Jeep! Why would someone do that to such a great vehicle?
2. I'm sitting here thinking how cool that machine is and asking myself what I could use a custom aluminum plate for...

I think that went to a large private hunting ranch in Texas.
Look up Brush Country Camo. Those fellows in Texas always do things different.

Thats a Suzuki Samurai

Being self employed is not a good thing these days. Washington and there Free Trade has pretty much run all the manufacturing jobs over seas.

Send me a PM and if I hear of any jobs Ill let you know.

A few questions for you if you don't mind. What programming software do you use? And more specifically what software do you use to import pictures to geometry? Or do you "draw" everything yourself? Good looking work either way man!

Good call on the belt bucket Anton. I have a buddy with a crossed revolvers belt buckle that's pretty cool.
