It followed me home

Thanks Aaron, not sure what I'll do with it yet. I'll keep ya in mind. I'd prolly like it if it wsasn't such an ugly color:-)

[fat pete]

take a wire brush to it and see what it looks like underneath....i got some stuff like that and it really looked cool....old factories didnt care what color so long as it was protected with battleship paint...wear a resperator device cause i am sure its not good dust...

brucegodlesky, I would be willing to bet that the paint on this piece will have lead in it. be VERY careful if you deside to remove the old paint and repaint with a different color. Looks to weight a ton! Did you get the handle that goes with it? Good score.

[brucegodlesky]

It is a heavy xxx! Didn't get the handle, been using a big piece of pipe to test her out.
I was looking at a cd that shows BF catalog and it is in there. It was prolly a big improvement over a hammer and chisel.

I've seen a short heavy straight shear for sale here recently and they wanted several hundred dollars for it.

[brucegodlesky]

Thomas, you back to throwin rocks at snakes yet?

[ThomasPowers]

Up until I started physical therapy I was doing great; now after a PT session I'm licking the dust out of my empty pain pill bottle. Unfortunately they assure me it's not fatal.

I plan to forge tomorrow if I don't have to make a quick trip to my parents house.

[brucegodlesky]

Well, you know all there are things you ain't supposed to do.
Got a nice light hammer?

[BT]

A Little Giant combination punch and shear that I picked up recently.

They said I could do anything as long as it didn't hurt. The problem is that it doesn't hurt till I stop and things start to cool down and stiffen up.

Had PT this morning kind of fun when the PT'er said to push against their counter push; but didn't say how much---lifted them off their feet and then I told them that that was my weak arm...
