thanks you have some really good ideas. I'll pass them along, maybe we can save the bike after all. I have my bondsman on speed dial, i have ever since I got my carry permit.

the cops around here don't know or don't care what the law actually means. i asked a 7 and they told me my concealed carry permit doesn't allow me to carry a concealed hand gun anywhere. the judge and state's attorney all said different. i figure eventually i'll need the bondsman to get me and my gun out of jail.

gut reaction is a 3/16 plate will warp like crazy over a period of time

Two questions;Does your brother have a phone and did he have insurance?

ric, if you'll notice the titanium plate is already on hand. so cheap isn't going to ba an issue atleast if i read this right.

as for will this work, I don't know, But i would like to find out, so I will continue to watch this thread.

the one thing that comes to my mind though, is this, what it the heat range that titanium of that thickness work, will it hold its shape and integrity at forge temps.

Thanks, now if I could just put a good edge on it. The art of sharping has always eluded me.

Well if it were my brother's bike and we were on speaking terms, I would have already paid the storage fees to save more costs. Then worry about collecting from my brother,

Just my $.02 worth.

well i know the true issues involved. true justice only comes at the tip of a barrel...a gun barrel. and then only when you can dispense those little lead pills "legally".

on principal though, it is still wrong that he have to pay to get his bike back or surrender it to them after 30 days.

will this ever change, probably not it will most likely get worse over time. but while I am a man of the "law" I am also a man of principal. unfortunatly the two rarely ever meet.

of course your right, but it stil isnt right. on priciple its ust wrong him haviong to pay to get his stolen property back

my scouts would love that. I'm starting to market my ballpeen "hatchets" to the other leaders. so far two of them look interested.

I got you one. My brother's motorcycle, an 06 honda bought brand new, was stolen 2 years ago. they found the bike, repainteed krylon silver, and the thief fixed a few problems that had kept him from riding it. now the impound lot wants him to pay $195 and it goes up 20 daily to get it back. so his bike was stolen by a thief and now it is going to get stolen again by the impound lot. all because he is out of work and can't get the money together to get his bike back. 30 days from now and it is their's, legally abandoned at tow yard.

it was stolen from him, he shouldn't hav eto pay to get it back, that should be the thiefs problem.

ok, that is beautiful, please give details.

Just have to ask what happened to the old razor strop.

OMG i showed this pic to my wife and told her i wanted to do it, she told me to sign divorce papers first.

bob, that sounds like probably the best way to go. I actually have my first customer negotiating with my now for a pair of gun racks. this guy wants 2 horse shoe wall mount gun racks. nothing special. I offered to make him one of these


his answer was he didn't need the felt or the barrel locks. this guy essentially wants me to weld together 8 horse shoes. amazing! I can buy premade shoes from tractor supply and weld them together for under $25 materials and less than as hour of labor. lol AND he is worried it will cost him too much. I think I'll just ofer to trade for extra materials

I want a full beard, but my wife can't stand it so If I wish to come into contact with her(at all, in anyway) then I have to shave every few weeks. she says it tickles or it pokes at her too much. wont even kiss me if she feels I need to shave.

Last september 28 I was cutting firewood and while felling a tree it fought back by doing something I didn't see coming and I've been felling trees since 74 ir there abouts. Anywho the Great White attack nearly killed me outright and if it weren't for our dogs sounding the alarm loudly enough Deb heard and got the message something really BAD had happened in the house (She heard it in the house that is)and pointed out my bleeding broken self dragging itself out of the woods, I wouldn't've been alive in a few more minutes. Deb called 911 and EMS got here in under 3 mins. while she administered as much first aid as she could. Getting hit by the tree kicking back in a way I still don't understand, broke bones from my rt foot, ankle to most or all my left ribs, puncturing that lung, neck and two skull fractures with the added interesting phenom of contra coupe traumatic brain injury. pingpong ball in a shaken mason jar for a visual example.

Anywho, after a week in a drug induced coma and at least two more months I don't remember of very combative recovery the me that is I woke up and Deb showed me how to access my accts from a notebook comp she'd bought to keep folk updated.

When I started communicating with folk, the gang here being first on the list after blood family & inlaws I started referring to getting in the way of a falling tree as being attacked by a Great White . . . birch.

There's more to it than that, some in the Prayer threads on IFI, some on Deb's Facebook page I think and probably more. It's hard for me to read. Deb was so scared, worried and hurting it really gets to me. Another aspect is how overwhelmed I am by the number of people who prayed for me, it's very humbling and something I need to step up to deserving more.

I'm living proof prayer works and catching a falling tree with your head is a BAD idea.

Frosty the Lucky.

look at it like this, even if a bit high, was your quoted price still fair, considering the labor materials, expendables design time, ect? if so then your better off without the job if they though it was priced too high. OTOH if the gate gets made by someone else, I would love to know what the price ended up being atleast compared to you quote.

no... ocifer, I'm not as thing as you drunk I am... oh no, honey, I gotta let you go, I'm goin to jail.

sounds like a fun party.

I like those designs. my solid fuel forge is contrrolled with a dimmer switch so I don't need an air gate on that one, the gasser has an air gate that is set and then held with a wing nut. when I get around to building my net forge then I will probably go with a design like yours

I would imagine lots of people had beards beck in the old days, due to the potential danger of shaving. one slip of the razor and you get a nasty cut, and it was sure to get infected. In the old days it was just safer to grow a beard. not to mention easier than shaving. to shave you had to well shave, to grow a beard all you had to do was live.

grinding away for hours, not so. I've sat for an hours sharpening a blade. if you use a proper very course stone, after running the blade across a sanding belt or grinder once. and then progress through the course to the fine and then finer still stones, It doesn't take hours to sharpen a blade. BUT take one of these belt grinders and use it carefully it should work well. I prefer a hands on aproach instead of power tools for sharpening.

Are we thatorganized?

I could see myself attending that, if only the plane tickets and time away from home weren't so expensive.

I get that too, but I'm 48 and the girlfriend is 26

but the great white Birch attack
