hot xxxx,that was great.i want more!please?

hey frosty.i seem to make a hell of a lot of post hooks,but i realy enjoy making tools of all sorts.and few blades here and there.some other things.but when i started my forge was such a small homemade job,that i could not weld any thing biger than 1/2 inch or so.so i drove over to john day and spent $350 on a nice big antique with a clinker breaker and everything.now all that i weld or forge seems golden.im just waiting for the other shoe to drop and screw up something royal.now check this out.17years ago i got in to a fight with neo-nazis and came out of it dead.besides a sevear brain injurie my bodie got messed up pretty bad.after all this time,i have sevear cronic pain and am on disabilaty.(i was a logger before).with all the pain you would think i couldnt do the blacksmithing,but it helps with the pain.my doctor said that wile the pain centers are in the back of the brain,the creative centers are in the front and actualy cancel out the pain.it seams to work to some extent,so im thrilled.hopefully that will translate to less meds sooner or later.

howdy yourself mr.dean.yes i know about n.w.b.a.and the con.is in august at timberline lodge on the mountain itself.and yea,i've got four kids,ages 18,16 and 12yo.twins of wich three are boys and one of the twins is a girl.and yes they are all better than i at tec stuff. the kids like hot iron so i try to start them out on nails(drawing out,upseting and cutting on the hardy).my 16 yo. decided to make a knife as his first project.well,surprisingly it came out fine,the boy actualy listend to my advice for the most part.now hes got a verry nice skinner and im jelous.oh well. GEORGE thank you for the info i apreciate it.

that should be "if anYone wantsto see my work".so hear is where i will apolagise for my spelling and such.lets just say thats not my strong suit.

i've been lurking for quite some time now and i've come to realy apreciate the people on here and i like the way everybodie jumps to help the new guys.thats the way it should be.if antone wants to see my work,some one will have to show me how to uplode pictures from my phone,couse thats all i got.

i drove that once before,not fun.a verry long and flat trip for the most part.
