"I'll post pics of the shop as soon as I am not embarrassed by the state of things ...."

Me for the last 3 years....lol.

hey would it help to move your anvil closer to the forge? I'm not a forge guy but seems like the hotter you whack it the better?

 

[springer82]

Aaaand now I know what the temp will be in my forge! No more scorched metal

You drilled a hole! You will like that better.

 

[Jon Buescher]

Tell me more about this!

It’s a thermo couple with a K rating, they make a ceramic shield for them so they don’t get scorched in the forge

Bruce built it with a hole in it already, because he is smarter than me!

lol,,,,,,,,,
Oh,,,, PS: just because someone knows something you don't does not mean they are smarter than you. They just know "different" stuff. Now you know!

I modded my POS 4x36 so that I can actually do plungelines today, I barely got done cutting the notches in each side of the platen thing before I got caught by the Mrs. and she whooped me with a rolled up newspaper and made go back to the couch (I embellished that last part a smidge)

And promptly caught it on fire after giving I a thorough cleaning and polishing and mounting it in a vertical stand... I’m once again grinderless

So how is the wound??? Better than the one Mama gave you with the rolled up newspaper, I hope!! Not laughing at you, laughing with you!

My wife has got to where she has a way of saying it so that I know she is really whizzed at me. I stuck a machete in my leg a year or so ago, and working outside and in the shop, it got infected. So I have been there to get that same sermon!! 41years of marriage I just hate it when she gives me that look!! My brain starts going OK what did I do now!!

 

[Rick Otts]

Yeah I feel for you guys I really do I never learned so my 3rd wife moved out we are still friends she is always over but I guess I just aint the marrying kind.

 

[Jon Buescher]

Wound is good! Few more days of cleaning and antibiotics

 

[Johan Nel]

You've got some serious equipment coming on nicely. I am enjoying this thread of yours.

Don’t feel bad, Rick. Me and the wife would’ve busted up a long time ago, but nobody wants the kids.

What!

 

[Kevin Zito]

What!

Lol!!!!

 

[Smallshop]

KEVIN!!! Lol...

the other day I told someone, 'I'd sell the boys...but no one wants teenagers...." They didn't think it as funny as I did...lol

 

[Jon Buescher]

Lol!

 

[Jon Buescher]

Well, I didn’t get any knives made but I did put a new handle on a nice little Collins axe yesterday. I’ve had the axe for 6 or 7 years. Bought the new handle for it probably 3 years ago. Finally put it together. One small victory

 

[Jon Buescher]

Don’t get in a hurry Jon! Doggonit I used too much super glue and got over-zealous with my chisel trying to pop the scale off this knife. It cracked and my temper tantrum was to snap it all the way off

 

[Johan Nel]

Ouch! Sorry to hear of that misfortune.

 

[Jon Buescher]

Been a long time since I updated this
