Back in the day I just welded a pair of vice grips to a piece of plate steel . Looked sort of like your standard fly vise set up.

Hope you get a few hogs. Every great once in a while I get a shot at one off my front porch. Usually one that has wondered down out of the hills heading for somebodies grain field. Not nearly as many here as Texas.

If by chance you hit a little town called Big Cabin it's pretty close to me. I live in the sticks but the good thing is nearly every town around is only 15 minutes away.

Welcome . Just yell out . If I know it I'll spill it LOL.

Every now and then I get to hit the shop and do something just for giggles. No more than I get to do I've thought about selling my stuff . Somehow I just can't bring myself to do it .
