As I look at everything posted in this thread I see much creativity. I wish there were one online store where all sold their products. This is especially true of all American made items. So many Americans today think we don't make anything anymore.
I've heard many say they wish Americans still made this or that. Most people think China now makes everything. But I'm betting somebody out there is making just about anything one could imagine. The problem is, that person or persons can't be found when needed.
Come on somebody, make an online Super Store of American Made products.

You have my wheels turning now... At the least I can make it happen for forum members ...hmm

Introduction and what i make
greetings, I am new to this forum and new to MD as well.
i really enjoy this thread. here is what i make.
They are called Hobo Nickels.
the story goes that in the depression the hobos would carve a buffalo nickel and trade them for what ever they could.
this isnt a buffalo nickel but a Millard Filmore presidential dollar that i reworked.
there is quite a following of Hobo Nickel collectors and even a web site.

I use "Gravers" and a small air powered Pnumatic graving system
http://www.airgraver.com/Hand_Engraving_Tools_Overview.htm
I make the Gravers to fit the job.
I also use a Stereo Zoom Microscope and an Engraving Vice ( Ball Vice)
as to how do i go about it? Kind of hard to explain that.
If you look at the Gravers you will see that there are many shapes and i just " cut, Push, Scrape, Remove" The metal to what ever i am wanting to do
Hope this helps

Headphones, Babies, and Furniture
I figure I am pretty good at babies and furniture but need work on the headphones.

I'd like to see this thread worked into a "store" eventually.
We need all types of items posted here but especially treasure related products. If we can get more of these maybe this thread can become permanent "sticky."
Suggestion: Lots of treasure hunters need ideas for display cases. It can be a real pain getting objects to stay in place on the wall without gluing them to some backing. Many of us don't want to put glue on our dug artifacts.
What can we come up with in regard to display cases? Unique ideas?
Also needed here are plans for digging tools and anything else treasure related.
