Charlie Don’t Surf – Lock-n-Load Java.

Beautiful custom built bikes. I saw a few of Jeff’s finished products today at a bike swap/show and spoke with him for just a minute.

He makes all of his bike frames from USA produced 4130 steel. They are fitted to you, and totally custom. Check out his Gallery to see some of his finished bikes.

Great idea to make a mason jar even more functional.

Convert your mason jar into your daily drinker.  Get a cuppow and use it with a Freaker. Voila!

Great listen, if you have the time, and it surely justifies the extra cost of buying american. We treat our workers well (by not using neurotoxins to save a second in production).

Unfortunately not much of an option for Mobile phones made in the USA.

The Breacher Bottle opener.

With heavy inlfuence from a military style breacher bar, the Breacher Bottle Opener was born to pry open lifetimes of bottle caps — a perfect weapon for any bartender. The breacher bar is not only crafted out from 5 oz. of 0.125″ thick 17-7 Stainless Steel, it is heat treated for extremely heavy usage. A tactical Style Chord Wrap, puts the finishing touch on this opener making it the closest thing to a standard issue bottle opener… if the military were to issue one!

GR ECHO is sleek and sexy but just as tough as all GORUCK gear. Stash the essentials and stay organized while moving around town by foot, metro, or car.

The smallest of their packs.

Today I have a guest post from a group that does something quite unique for the products they sell.

Handing off to Amanda from WisconsinMade.com:

I’m Amanda and I blog for the online gift store, Wisconsinmade.com.  When Ryan asked me to do a guest blog post, he mentioned that he likes how Wisconsinmade.com has information about the people who make all of the products and he thinks every website should share that information. The Artisan Info, as we call it, gives shopper the opportunity to read the story about the people who make each gift.  From the cheesemaker who pampers his cows like princesses to the craftsman who designs gifts from a variety of Wisconsin woods, every artisan has a story, and Firl Industries, our log carrier manufacturer, is no exception.

In a world where labor is outsourced or done by robots, Firl Industries is unique. The company has been manufacturing canvas products since 1965. The log carriers featured on Wisconsinmade.comare made, not by foreign laborers or machines, but by a qualified sewing staff in Fond du Lac,Wisconsin.  Most of the Firl Industries staff has been employed at the company for more than 20 years. Not only can you feel good about supporting an American company that takes care of its workers, but the functionality of the bag itself is exceptional. The design keeps dirt and wood off the floor, distributes weight evenly for easy lifting, and folds neatly and compactly for convenient storage. With two sizes and six colors to choose from, you are sure to find the log carrier that fits the décor of your home or cabin.  From functional to fun, Wisconsinmade.com is always adding new USA made products, so stop by often to see what else is new.

I hope you enjoyed the guest post, Leave a comment and Let Amanda know what you think! At the very least, Stop by the WisconsinMade.com site and pickup some goodies.

Where the tools at?

I have a detached garage, so it’s a bit of a pain when there is a foot of snow on the ground, or I need a screw driver or hammer for a single fastener and it’s pouring down rain. Solution: new House Toolbox.

So I set out to list some things I’d need for the toolbox. First off, the toolbox.

So I hit my local Hardware store to see what they had in stock.  The selection was between some small tool boxes that were made “somewhere” (no label). And a couple Stack-On Tool Boxes; I went with the 23″ pro model.

The Stack-On box is really sturdily built.  No Joke! It feels more sturdy than my older Craftsman metal toolbox.  The hinges are super strong, four or five inch wide hinge barrel with a heavy gauge pin (I grab and move it around by the lid with little flex.) and when it’s latched shut, it’s very solid.

I have decided to fill it with Items made in the USA only. Seemed like the thing to do… since I have this site. Mostly, I will pickup tools from the flea markets but if the need arises; I’ll likely buy what I have mentioned below.

• Enderes 6 in 1 Screwdriver – Enderes Tools
