  1. My Daughter the Veterinarian worked in Roswell for a while...
  2. Just remember Frosty that doubling down is a BAD THING!!!!!!!!!!!; I'd be happy to be rid of my TBT......
  3. My wife was going to take me around the scrapyard today then decided the winds were too high. Arghhhhhhhhh!
  4. Many "Nerve Gasses" are strongly related to pesticides. Most of he pro knifemakers that use positive pressure masks make their own for more like under US$100 rather than US$1000 which is why I mentioned wasp screening.....
  5. Funny the mountain just west of Socorro NM has a Perlite mine in it. A friend picked up 3 TRAINCAR loads of perlite when there was a batch damaged by a rainstorm...
  6. "Blacksmith's Mail" tends to work very well. I once hauled a pallet of industrial shop lights from Quad-State for a smith near Phoenix AZ. Put up at their place for a couple of Estrella Wars later. One of my minions picked up a 165# HB on their way rom CA for me. Tried to hide it in my shop; like I wouldn't notice a spare anvil....
  7. Reading a recent copy of ARCHEOLOGY magazine where they were using a hand held spec to identify cave/wall paintings paints. Must have been a great grant!
  8. I have found that there is a lot more stuff I need friends to own rather than myself...
  9. Woodburn your name on the inside of the lid!
  10. For grinding; a positive pressure respirator with the air intake in a "clean" area is a great way to go. Be sure to screen against bugs though!
  11. Remember that the cross bars on the bottom half will bow downward; a common mistake to not do so.
  12. The ones shown in the Egyptian metalworking book look like tweezers.
