i seen an ad on craigslist blacksmith tools hammers and THONGS do any of you blacksmiths wear a thong , my wife gets sick at the thought of me wearing one . perhaps a thong with a hammer holster . could this be a new product line

good thing this is a hobby for me , becuase if it was a business i would be out of business . never made a nickel on blacksmithing , except tools i have made and sold to blacksmiths but i sure have a lot of tools , you would think i was a pro . same goes for my woodworking tools , a cabinet maker would blush at my collection however i don't have the skill just the tools . as a machinist in a shop the owner of my shop would fire me if i spent that kind of time and energy on tools. i could here him now , " chuck you are missing the point , we are here to make a profit not build a super shop" and i would reply " ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , i get it , it is a money thing "

my problem or non problem is i keep upgrading . start with a rivett forge end up building a better forge, what to do with the rivett forge . i want to forge at night without lighting a fire so i build a michael porter type bottle forge . now i have a rivett forge , nc whisper baby{i got for a song} a handbuilt coal forge and my handbuilt gas forge. start out with a h.f anvil end up with a 300 pound fisher and three others that went down the pike , but still have the hf and the fisher i cant believe the stuff one can aquire in a little over a year my dilemma is that after a while i forget what tools i have so i aquire more of the same . i love tools but how do you STOP THIS MONSTER , meaning me the tool collector

look at my gallery there is a picture or a steer door knocker i made a steer head meat fork that my wife has confiscated will get a pic and post it, for my first attempt it turned out real good the main thing is the placement of the eye sockets and the nose i was so intriged by the critters i bought a book on how to make it is called "iron menagerie" good book with a lot of tooling examples
