I always like to be there first thing first day, when all the vendors still have plenty of "candy" to give away!!

Wood-Mizer has always been friends to Forestry Forum Members.  Their big orange and black tents with large orange flages are easy to spot.

I have pre-registered, hope the boss will cut me some slack for a day trip. The show is only every other year. So, I might have a chance. ;D

Inspector Woody is going to be offline for 30 days or so. If anyone has an important question, send us a FF e-mail. We'll get hold of Gadget on the Bat phone.

I do think Gadget has plans to attend, but he has several New irons in the fire ;)

Probably a squirt gun.. ;)

I remember always having some kind of gun that shot the darts with the suction cups on the end.  Guess you can't get those now. >:(

The "protect-you-from-yourself" Left frowns on kids packing now a-days.  Probably couldn't find a toy gun in most stores.



Jeff

A while back the fad was rubber band guns and nerf guns. You still see crafters making the wooden rubberband shooters but I have not scene a nerf gun in years. Now at the flea markets you see Marshmellow blow guns at every turn.

Bib, I used to love the dart guns. You could really get into the gangster movies or the westerns when you could actually shoot the guys on T.V.  I also had dart bow and arrows.

Is dat you little Tom?

Bro. Noble

Did any of you make pop guns using a hollow stem (elderberry or cane),  two spitwads,  and a plunger?

You push one juicy spitwad half way down the tube,  start the other one and then ram it hard with the plunger.  The air between the two wads compresses until the first one exits with a bang.

Hadn't thought of that in years.
milking and logging and sawing and milking

Jeff

I don't now why, but that just reminded me of the whistles dad used to make out of zuccinni stems. Anybody remember doing this? I remember you have to cut close to the leaf so as one end is solid, then make a notch up a little ways. Can't remember exactly how it was done. I remember dad making them, then we would bore hoes down the length to make flute like whistles

Yep, one of'em is me little.  

We used to make our pea shooters, spit-ball guns, whistles, flutes, bows, arrows and Hawaiin slings out of bamboo.  It was pretty much our general buiilding material.  Hibiscus makes a pretty good whistle.  It's got a hollow center, sometimes, filled with a soft pulp that can be pushed out.

Guava makes a good slingshot, followed closely by citrus like orange and lemon.

Bamboo makes a good spear too. The Cops would probably be called out on a kid with a spear today.

A blade of grass makes a real shrill whistle. ;D
