Brian......................It must be a Friday night thing but I genuinely RAFLMAO at the image of HIMJIM dragging the 250lbs of sword down the drive past his microbrewery, his sausage making machine and front garden sculpture made from the left-hand wing of a B36 balancing on the HIMJIM front lawn at a jaunty angle on its main wheels and jet engines those big old props casting shadows across the HIMJIM drive in the evening sunshine to find the imaginary wife's windows to work with.............It got so bad I had to phone HIMJIM up to ensure all was OK...............When he answered you could hear the excitement in his voice as he announced the arrival of his wife returning from work....................................As I hung up I knew the man had found his Friday Nirvana and left him in a state of bliss running his sword repeatedly across the thin glass lip of his wife's window orifice ............................
Now see that is where you are going to send people down a silly path (not serious stuff like we're talking about). A beer mug, or anything made of smooth glass, will not work to sharpen steel. A coffee mug works because it is unglazed ceramic on the bottom, a material both rough and much harder than steel. So to all you guys out there busily dragging your swords across a beer mug (yeah, that sounds like a euphemism....), it ain't gonna' work no matter how much fun you are having doing it.Brian
Ah, I see that some of you use mugs, not steins.
As I said on the phone, I would take my hat off and smack you with it if I were next to you...
Going to have to drive your knife sharpener to the battery charger store aren't you?
Yes.........
Got to stay on topic for HIM with the sword.
....the beer is just for lubrication purposes.
PS Do you think the boys would work the mystery plane out ?
I think so, put post it in the aircraft thread and give them the three pics. Don't want to make it too hard for them.
So, does this work better on the stock windshield, the Cee Bailey, or the Rifle?
