I was not a ship-driver, but spent plenty of time on ships in the navy. With regard to the anchor being dropped, there is some serious tonnage on that ship... and at about 8 knots the anchor, once dropped, would not bring the ship to a complete stop. My understanding, having observed going to...
Great information in this thread.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd love some suggestions... I don't have enough posts to PM you though...
I have the cheap, knock-off version of the Lansky (bought it years ago) and have only just now started sharpening. I found videos from Grey Beard Green Beret and...
Looks great so far! I'll be following with interest. I was inspired by all the great work recently posted... I'm tentatively working on my dad's Winchester 69A. New walnut stock I'm planning on oiling like you guys do here. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Today, can't really get into Tool - but Clutch? Fagetaboutit
