  2. I rather enjoyed this topic and the little banter and gentle argie-bargie that went with it. A bit of light relief from all the political correctness that is thrust upon us and particlarly as all the protaganists appeared suitably well disposed to their subject. So, to you all thank you and Stu, I know you are touchy on spelling. Syllabus is spelt with an a not an i.
  3. Interestingly, I wonder how many other members of this site are also motorcyclists. GoldWing and Stratoliner me me. Unfortunately I'm on the wrong continent to join you, but if you do ride to the conference, have a safe one.
  4. Iron, I have followed this thread with much interest. I have had my C40 Anyang (88lbs) for over 10 years and it has performed flawlessly with one exception, the oiler. Please give me some insight into what has been done by the American importer to remedy this rather irritating problem. I can vouch for everything positive said about the Anyang. I bought mine directly from the factory in China through the internet and the service I received from them was unbelievably excellent. I also have a Chinese lathe which is ok-ish but not in the league of the Anyang Thanks, Kevan
  5. Jacques Ireally must come and see this most excellent construction of yours. I will give you a call over the weekend·

    I have watched the progress with much interest and am very impressed with the result. As Beth said, sometimes you have to ignore the hours, they are gone, in any case, your effort will be around for a long time. Well done.
  7. "....forged in the crucible of training" I fail to see the problem. It is perfectly acceptable metaphorical language, and quite eloquent in fact. How did this lead to blacksmiths shoeing horses?
  8. I like it....a lot. Really cool shop!
  9. Neatly mounted vice. Care to post a few pictures of your shop. Looks pretty cool!
  10. A truely wonderful work space you have created for yourself. Cool forge! Very well done.
  11. This one is posted more for the music than the smithing, but both aspects are worthy..http://youtu.be/Kb54qPC3WPA
  12. Made with visible pride and justifiably so. Well done!
  13. ...delicate and beautiful. The handle is so apt.
  14. Hardly whimsical.....it's art, it stirrs the emotions. Well done.
  15. Take the advice in the post above and I am sure you will get invites from many smiths. Your "chutzpa" will be your success. Good luck.
