Frosty, ha ha. In fact I thought this a good thread to feature all the faithful dogs (and cats) who spend so much of their time with us in our smithies. Very often a picture of a workshop or a job under construction will feature in this forum and there in a corner or just milling around will be the loyal pooch. What say you?

Paulky, take it. They are VERY difficullt to come by and they are worth "an arm and a leg"

It has stood unused for several years and after an exchange of comments with Macbruce about his Zipmax machine, I was motivated to get this Pullmax of mine into commissioned work. It just needs rewiring and then it will be complete and functional. I had to make a few bits and pieces that were missing but I had it running before I started to strip it down. It was actually quite a fun project.

Somewhere I once read something along these lines ....the labourer uses his hands, the craftsman, his hands and his mind, the artist, his hands, his mind and his heart. I reckon. you are well on the way to being an artist.

Someone walking into my shop smoking gets me irritated, grinding their cigarette butt into my floor is a totally different experience.

...a man with a Rune and a 500 pound anvil, and I thought that I was blessed with a GoldWing and a 400 pound Peter Wright. I suppose there are those who have and then there are those who really have.:) -
