Huh. Pendleton used to have western tailored suits on their site, but not anymore; Nudies has a jeans-only site and a bigger one that talks about museum exhibitions and sells Tshirts and coffee-cups. You may have to go up to Ellensberg or down to Pendleton and see what you can find in the vendors area at the Rodeo- or check a westernwear store and see what you can find. I know my cousin-with-chickens and Beau's dad both rented western style formal wear for their weddings.

Speaking of which: if you're going with broomstick skirts for the women in the party, please remember that Three Mountains Pattern may be wonderful, but if the white is in the middle everyone's butt is going to look six miles wide.

Figs have tiny, tiny flowers on the inside of a fleshy ovary; wild ones, and the most southerly of domestic ones, are fertilized by tiny, tiny wasps which can fit inside the opening at the end of the ovary. Modern culinary figs are mostly self-fruitful, though.

These tiny wasps you are talking of sound very much like "Mason bees". They say that 1 mason will do the pollination of about 6000 honey's

No, these are something like 1/32nd of an inch long. I've got Mason Bees, they live in the sapsucker holes in the orchard.

Pettec aren't you close to Yakima? There was a place down between I think Yakima ave and nob hill on what is that S first. It was by the old Golden wheel was called western out fitters. Help me out here VF I am lost in the fog.

Well first let me say a huge congrats. I am shocked that you would post here that it just be 4 of you. Don't you see you have just (as good as) rolled out the welcome mat.

you never know how many chickens may show up. As for Western and suit let me tell ya those just don't work together. Now if it were me it would be one of 2 things but I will just tell the western. Nice black Stetson (got that), New pair of wranglers, and a nice new western shirt in a R W B color and a new pair of nice boots. Done deal and simple. OK BTW the other would be new pair of riggin breaches, new guy lines to hold up the breaches and a new hickory and of course a new Stihl hat. I would probably even wipe the dirt off my boots or romeos.

LOL!! Good one CR so, I mean of course I'm all about the wranglers, but terry doesn't like them so he wears Rustlers

like the stetson idea (his might actually fit him now)!! Oh and hey, if there are in chickens in the area at the time feel free to stop in!! the more the merrier!!!

I just wanted something kinda semi formal, cause truly he can wear that anytime, and it may end up that way anyway, but, I guess even if he didn't get a suit he could get a nice western style jacket? I like your idea CR if I could get him in wranglers it would be cool!!!

Ummm. . . about 24"x14"x8"? gas (propane?) powered? The torch I used was oxy-acetylene. My mother tries to be "arty" and was taking a Saturday metal working class. Basically, you tell the instructor what you want to do and he teaches you how to make it. She hauled me to it and I got bored so I asked the instructor if I could make something. He thought it was a bit too complicated for a first project. He said I should do it in pieces rather than one long piece in case I screwed up one part. I said that the joins would look bad. The only thing he helped me with was cutting the square-stock, I had never used a band saw for metal that was about 12' long.

I am just glad I got the twist even for the toilet paper to roll nicely on. Getting the bottom flat was a pain. I got a bunch of, "Yer doin' it wrong!" type comments before I put the three 1/4 turns into the vertical part.

Anywho, I am glad you like it!

Did the forge have 1 burner or 2. sounds like a "hot box". Do you have a place of your own to work.

I think it might have had 3. IIRC, it had a manifold that split into three. No, I do not have a place of my own to work.

lol well, it used to be there, not sure if it still is, we went up there I think, when I was a kid. There used to be so many western stores here, and now, lots of them are gone!! I'll google it and see if it's still there, thanks!

Thanks for that!! I looked on the internet and they actually didn't have many sites that had western style suits, so I will see what Pendelton and Ellensburg have and call them, thanks for the tip on the skirt, not sure about that yet either!!

Re the skirts: there are some mistakes which stand out as so utterly dreadful, even in the general awfulness of bridesmaid's dresses, that it is one's mere civic duty to pass the knowledge along.
