I am on the verge of checking mouth feel with my daily carry every time he goes ballistic.. reminds me of Jamie from progressive insurance commercials. #wlsislife #fuckSavage #agency171forever! Question from Josh from Texas Are newer production Winchester 94's in 30-30 good for plinking and fun range use? I heard I should buy an older production model. Curious to your thoughts.Josh WINNER Question from Anonymous Coward from OH So I have a 5″ Springfield Prodigy DS 1911. Sometimes, I conceal carry it with an IWB C&G Holster. The gun seems to ride too low in my waistline. I have tried both their plastic IWB clips and their metal Alpha clips. Are there any belt clips that you guys know of that will allow the gun and holster to ride a little bit higher. Thank you Question from Anonymous Coward from California I'm looking to up my 18650 stash and need some input from the almighty guntoob lords. I've got a surefire M640 DFT turbo scout and a streamlight protac (with arisaka adapter and surefire pressure switch tail cap – may matter for battery length?) I don't want to pay bullshit streamlight/surefire battery prices. Do you guys have any favorite cheaper alternatives? I know I need a protected high drain battery, but looking for something I can stock up on and not break the bank. I just got some keeppower 3500 mAh batteries from illumn for my fenix lights for $9/piece but I don't think they support high draw applications… or would they work? Any steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! #yéremyisafuddp.s. I have an XTAR charger so I don't need any fancy usb charge top bullshit p.p.s. Do you guys have any favorite battery storage containers for taking on hunting trips that keep them dry and protected but not take up too much room? I don't have the ability to 3d print, so looking to buy. Question from Chad from Michigan Up North Chad from Michigan I'm converting an AR in 5.56 to 300 blackout. What is a good barrel and block combo? It will be a suppressor host and basically strictly subsonic. (Because super sonic 300blk is retarded) Something like 8 to 12 inches. Also, suggestions on a big ol' quiet can under $800? Thanks, Question from Anonymous Coward from Arizona I wrote a while ago asking for recommendations on a light 6.5 Creedmoor rifle for hunting. In that question, I mentioned I wasn't interested in a Bergara after my first experience with them. I'm writing in again to elaborate as requested. It's kind of a long story so buckle up.I bought a Bergara B14-HMR in 6.5 CM and was pretty excited as it was my first “higher end” bolt action, or so I thought. I took it out shooting a few times and just couldn't seem to get it to group well and I was running out of adjustment on my scope. I was a bit confused but I figured id just double check all my mounting. So as I was cleaning it after that range trip, I looked at it from the front and thought the scope looked a little crooked. I got about a hundred second opinions and sure enough, something was off. I thought “there's no way the scope or the gun could be built that wrong”. I warrantied the scope rail and the rings as well as replaced them twice, but neither fixed the problem. So I started talking to the scope manufacturer and sent it in to be checked. They sent it back with a green light and said there was no problems. At this point I was several weeks into tracing down problems and emailing manufacturers so it pissed me off. I finally decided it must be the gun. I took it to a gunsmith and he started mounting a rail on it and everything finally became clear. Instead of starting all the screws a little then going through and torquing them like I had done, he installed the rear screws fully. One of the front screws was then dropped and immediately tried going in at a 45 degree Gun Industry News Thefirearmblog Steiner MPS 2.0 Micro Pistol Sight Steiner has released the MPS 2.0, an updated enclosed-emitter red dot sight building on the original MPS with reinforced design, improved ergonomics, larger buttons, easier maintenance, and extended battery life.

Mike and Trey Farley host the Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast and interview Mikel Tupe from Belgium, who handcrafts luxury wooden diving boards he calls “functional art.” Tupe explains he began after building a board for his own pool, then left a banking/insurance career as international demand grew, especially in the U.S. He describes two construction types—floating boards (more flexible, cheaper, require storing in winter and checking screws) and tension boards (more solid, less bounce, adjustable tension bars). He discusses materials (ipe and a shift toward afrormosia), oiling to prevent graying and cracking, optional UV-protective covers, anti-slip features, and U.S.-based safety standards, bracket heights, and stainless-steel bases. He highlights the Ocean One as the most popular model, notes 5–7 week high-season lead times, typical longevity and weight guidance, unusual installations, and emphasizes customer communication and trust.   Discover more: https://woodendivingboards.com/ https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@MikeFarleyDesigns https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:12 Meet the Guest 02:01 Wooden Boards Origin 04:24 Choosing the Right Wood 06:00 Handcrafted Production 07:30 Floating vs Tension 11:04 Oiling and Winter Care 15:27 Covers and UV Protection 18:38 Splinters and Grip 22:05 Safety Rules and Brackets 27:30 Bracket Designs and Ocean One 28:48 Ocean One Bestseller 29:06 Board Sizes And Profiles 30:09 Why Wood Boards 31:09 Wild Install Locations 32:46 Maintenance And Hardware 35:41 Ordering And Shipping 37:55 Longevity And Weight Limits 41:37 Wood Vs Fiberglass Bounce 47:10 Design Inspiration And Safety 50:31 Trust Customer Care Wrap 52:37 Rapid Fire Favorites 55:02 Final Thanks And Contact  

Your hosts finally get around to the multiple listener-requested review of the film "Disneyland Handcrafted". Sometimes you have to be careful for what you ask. 45 Minutes.

Too often, organisations react to signs of stress or slipping performance in management by rolling out the usual training. But what if the real issue lies deeper?Dan Northover, CEO at Handcrafted, joined me for a frank conversation about supporting and developing managers in a way that actually addresses what's needed on the ground. At Handcrafted, they paused before jumping to training and instead created space for managers to reflect on what their roles actually require, how they feel, and what their teams need from them. That process revealed that while staff were thriving, their managers were absorbing most of the stress - an unsustainable situation for any organisation serious about high-performing teams. We explore why collecting real feedback at every level matters and how honest conversations create the conditions for thriving, not just for the team but, critically, for those leading them. Dan is refreshingly open about his own learning curve as a leader and why vulnerability matters at the top.If you want a workplace where managers are equipped to lead and care for themselves, this episode will help you get beneath the surface, ask better questions, and build a culture that supports lasting wellbeing and genuine performance.More about DanDan Northover (a qualified Chartered Accountant of 11 years) founded Handcrafted and developed it as a part-time volunteer whilst working a senior finance role in the public sector. He's since completed an MBA, but says he's probably learned more from fostering and adopting several children, who have taught him about the immense strength people need to overcome traumatic situations in their lives.Get in touch: https://www.handcrafted.org.uk/contact/Resources & References Insight to Action Download: Rethinking Manager Development: A Human-Centred ApproachWatch this episode on YouTubeManagers… Just Managing? with Sarah Cockroft Employee Engagement Guide For Managers - It's Time for Change Rethinking Skills Gaps - It's Time for Change www.handcrafted.org.ukContact details for Lisa LinkedIn: lisapsychologyWays to work with me: itstimeforchange.co.uk/tailored-supportJoin The Leadership Lens: itstimeforchange.co.uk/lets-connectEmail me for a friendly chat: lisa@itstimeforchange.co.uk

Tucked into the trees along Monbulk Road in Belgrave, Killik Handcrafted Rum Distillery is more than just a place to drink; it's a destination where small-batch spirits, ambitious food, and a warm, intimate atmosphere come together. When we visited, we were seated in a gorgeous private room with a crackling log burner and views out to the forest, and enjoyed a generous, flavour-packed feast that perfectly matched Killik's handcrafted rum and cocktails. At the heart of the kitchen is head chef Kevin Peiris, who joined six months ago and has already reshaped the menu with his distinctive style. Originally from coastal Sri Lanka, Kevin brings bold, aromatic flavours: coconut, curry leaves, pandan, and spice, thoughtfully adapted for a local palate. With over twelve years' experience across leading Mornington Peninsula venues, he blends his heritage with Western techniques, creating dishes that are both creative and approachable, all while leading his team with a calm, disciplined focus on learning and making people happy through food.

#944 Ever wonder what it really takes to launch a handcrafted spirits brand from scratch — without owning your own distillery or a massive marketing budget? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Alek Szczupak, founder of Broda Beverage Company in Chicago, to share how he transformed a generations-old Polish family recipe into a fast-growing, small-batch vodka brand. Alek dives into the story behind Broda's authentic, all-natural production process — from zesting lemons by hand to infusing real honey and ginger — and opens up about the challenges of navigating alcohol regulations, finding the right co-packer, and building distribution relationships in a crowded industry. He also reveals how grassroots marketing, local tastings, and one viral TikTok helped Broda gain traction and develop a loyal following. If you've ever dreamed of turning a kitchen recipe into a nationally recognized product, this episode will give you a front-row seat to what it really takes! (Original Air Date - 10/10/25) What we discuss with Alek: + Origins of Broda Beverage Company + Polish family recipe inspiration + Handcrafted vodka with real ingredients + Challenges of alcohol licensing and regulation + Finding the right co-packer + Building distribution and retail partnerships + Power of tastings and local marketing + Viral TikTok boosting online sales + Expanding flavors and product line + Lessons for aspiring beverage entrepreneurs Thank you, Alek!

In 1996, Nazca Corporation released Metal Slug on the Neo Geo MVS arcade system, a run and gun game so dense with hand drawn animation that it required extra hardware just to be ported to home consoles. In this episode, we trace the full story behind it: the collapse of Irem that brought the team together, the founding of Nazca, and the two failed location tests that forced a complete rebuild of the game in six months. Our conversation explores the craft philosophy that made Metal Slug legendary, from lead artist Akio's pixel art technique to the enemy animations that served no gameplay function but made the world feel alive. We follow the game from its troubled development to its arcade success, the sequels that built on its foundation, and the eventual dissolution of the original team. Join us as we load up and find out how a small team with no budget and no real names on the credits made one of the most beloved arcade games ever made, on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Fun Hot Disney DayHandcrafted Parks and CocktailsD'Amaro Rules 

In this soul-stirring message from Church of the Harvest, Pastor Rhonda Davis explores the difficult "in-between" seasons of life. Centered on the question, "Is God worth waiting for?" she provides profound insights into why the gap between our prayer and God's provision exists and how to navigate it without losing heart. Key Highlights The All-Access Pass: Using an analogy from her visit to a high-profile event, Pastor Rhonda reminds us that through Jesus Christ, we have an "all-access pass" to the Father. We don't need special connections; the Name above all names is our entry. The Tension of the "Gap": The space between ask and receive is often filled with confusion or depression. Pastor Rhonda explains that this tension is where our faith is stretched and where God does His most intricate work. 10,000 Moving Parts: A powerful reminder that when we pray for one thing, God is moving 10,000 things behind the scenes to bring the answer to pass. Our prayers don't expire; they are held in "gold bowls" in heaven (Revelation 5:8). Handcrafted vs. Prefab: In a microwave culture, we want instant miracles. However, God is a Master Craftsman. He isn't building a "prefab" life for you; He is crafting a masterpiece that requires time, precision, and maturity. Barren but Blameless: The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth highlights that a delay is not a denial. Their long wait was connected to a purpose—the birth of John the Baptist—which had to happen at an exact moment in history. Five Truths for the Waiting Room Point Principle Description 1 The Space is Not Empty God is working even when He is silent. The gap is for your growth, not your punishment. 2 Persistence Matters Prayer is often a continued pursuit.

Wine Barrels, Duomo Marble, and Florence: Paoletti Custom Guitars at NAMM 2026I've been away from Florence for 25 years. I didn't know there was a guitar company like this back home.At NAMM 2026, I found Filippo Martini from Paoletti Custom Guitars—a boutique manufacturer based in the heart of Tuscany, building instruments that are equal parts guitar and artwork.Paoletti does something no one else does: they build guitars from chestnut wood sourced from Italian wine barrels. The material offers a wide harmonic spectrum, but it's difficult to work with. You need to know how to handle it. Founder Fabrizio Paoletti figured it out, and now every guitar they produce shows the natural grain—no opaque finishes, no hiding the wood.The craftsmanship runs deep. Bridges, pickguards, pickups—all made in-house. Necks carved from Canadian maple, roasted on-site. 99% of the process happens in Tuscany. As Filippo put it, "Kilometer zero." Zero miles. Everything local except the screws.Their model is 100% custom. You don't buy a Paoletti off the rack. You tell them your style, your sound, the genre you play. They build around your vision while keeping the Italian essence intact—chestnut wood, Italian-made components, tailored to your idea.But what stopped me cold was the Duomo collection.Eight individual guitars, each hand-engraved by Fabrizio Paoletti himself. Three years of work. The subject: Florence's cathedral—the Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore.This isn't just decoration. Paoletti secured an official partnership with the Opera del Duomo, the authority that oversees the cathedral. The back of each guitar reproduces the marble floor pattern from inside the Duomo. And when the collection is complete this October, every guitar will contain an actual piece of marble from the cathedral.I got shivers standing there.This is what happens when guitar making meets Italian heritage. It's not about specs or market positioning. It's about place, history, and craft passed down through generations.Filippo invited me to visit the workshop in Florence when I return in April. I'm going. I want to see where this happens—where wine barrel wood becomes an instrument, where cathedral marble gets embedded into a guitar body, where a team of artisans builds one-of-one pieces for players around the world.Florence is known for many things. Leather. Art. Architecture. The Renaissance itself. Now I know it's also home to some of the most distinctive guitars being made anywhere.Paoletti proves that boutique doesn't mean small ambitions. They're partnering with galleries in Dubai, working with the Duomo authorities, and bringing Florence to NAMM.Not bad for a company I didn't even know existed until I walked the show floor and heard an Italian accent.Sometimes you find home in unexpected places.Marco Ciappelli interviews Filippo Martini from Paoletti Custom Guitars at NAMM 2026 for ITSPmagazine.Part of ITSPmagazine's On Location Coverage at NAMM 2026.

Several topics have been circling around recently, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to offer some thoughts about what is going on in several Disney park realms. Anything about Villains Land has people curious as to what is happening. This includes some work being done by The Haunted Mansion. We'll explore the rumors and conjecture on how this land will be laid out. Next we talk about Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. There have been announcements of not only new additions, timelines, and offerings being added not to Disney's Hollywood Studios version of this land, but at Disneyland. Finally, speaking of Disneyland have you seen Disneyland Handcrafted? This film done by Leslie Iwerks gives insights to what things looked like when Walt Disney determined he would open a brand new themed park concept in the space of a year of construction. This is a fascinating documentary with some terrific ideas, So join us for Disney Insights on Villains Land, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and Disneyland Handcrafted. _____________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

In this episode, Ally and I break down the marketing and brand lessons hidden inside Disneyland Handcrafted, the new documentary directed by Leslie Iwerks that captures the extraordinary effort, craftsmanship, and storytelling behind the creation of Disneyland. Using never-before-seen footage and audio, the film elevates the often unnamed people who brought Walt Disney's impossible idea to life — and offers a masterclass in legacy brand storytelling. Whether you're a Disney fan or not, this conversation explores why the best brands are built on emotional resonance, attention to detail, and stories that actually need to be told — and how marketers today can apply those lessons to content, customer experience, and the products they're building.Key Takeaways:// Every brand is built on story — but not every story has been told yet: The most compelling marketing often comes from uncovering overlooked perspectives: your team, your customers, or the behind-the-scenes work that rarely gets credit.// Behind-the-scenes content builds trust, not just engagement: Showing the process — the challenges, pivots, and craftsmanship — creates authenticity and emotional connection far more than polished outputs alone.// Attention to detail isn't optional — it is the brand: From product design to social media responses, every interaction teaches your audience what to expect from you.// Happiness is future-proof: Brands that create moments of joy, escape, or ease — even through content — build lasting relevance in uncertain times.// Great marketing is hospitality: How you treat your audience, respond to feedback, and show up consistently matters just as much as the message itself.// Legacy brands last because they invest in craft, not shortcuts: Long-term trust is built through care, patience, and respect for the people behind the work — not trend-chasing.Connect with Cassie: LinkedInConnect with Ally: LinkedIn____Join the MHH Collective!

853 · Disneyland Handcrafted Review and Interview with Leslie IwerksDisneyland has been analyzed and celebrated for decades. But Disneyland Handcrafted shows us something far more rare. How the park was actually built.This week, I sit down with Academy Award nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks for a deep conversation about her new documentary, Disneyland Handcrafted, followed by my review and thoughtful discussion with Adam Bankhurst from IGN after attending the world premiere on the Walt Disney Studios lot.We talk about unseen archival footage, Walt, the pressure of building Disneyland in less than a year, and the craftsmen and builders whose hands shaped the park we know today. This is not nostalgia. It's history, risk, and belief in motion.

Disneyland Handcrafted documentary debuts January 22, 2026 on Disney Plus and Disney YouTube, and I had the extraordinary opportunity to interview filmmaker Leslie Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank, California about her new film. "Disneyland Handcrafted reveals the extraordinary artistry and grit it took hundreds of craftspeople to bring Walt Disney's impossible dream project of Disneyland to fruition – from groundbreaking to Opening Day on July 17, 1955." (Disney Plus). "An Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker, Leslie Iwerks comes from a family steeped in Disney legacy.

Since taking ownership, they have made several changes that makes the Mentone Market one of a kind. What passer-byers think is a standard grocery store is actually your one stop shop to your next meal or unique hand crafted gift.

Many products have labels noting where they were made. Maybe Made in China, Japan, Mexico, or Made in the U.S.A. Metaphorically, if we were to look at our label – the label of man himself – it would say “Made in the Garden of Eden . . . by God.” You and I were handcrafted by our Heavenly Father. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, not only were man and woman handmade by God, the institution of marriage was, as well. Today we’ll get the full story. Looking for hope or know someone who is? Join Greg Laurie at the Harvest Crusade: Hope for America on November 16!
