  4. One problem with average people is they call many types of metal work Wrought Iron, even tho it isnt that material, its just made to shape, I saw a wouoght iron railing that is actually cast aluminum
  5. I remember Y2K when a few neighbors were stocking up on water, ammo and foods, they asked why I wasnt, I said I dont need too, if it doesnt happen I still have my money, while they will be broke from stocking up; if it does happen I can take stored water jugs and food from the other peoples stockpiles, all I have to do is lay low for a few weeks while the rest of the world panics and kills each other fighting zombies I normally keep about a months supply of food in the deep freeze and pantry, that is plenty of extra to have laying around
  6. Sorry Jerry, I dont drink, but I will settle for Coffee
  7. ok To clear up confusion I merged the new account into the old account so there is only one, and they are no longer separate it worked, I surprised myself

  10. My bow can bring down a peterbuilt at 50 yards lol, an Alpine Hunter 100# compound, need to use carbon fiber arrows
  11. Someone from Albuquerque New Mexico sent me a rose today. No clue who sent it as it had no return address or name on the UPS box, nor has anyone asked me lately for my address, If you want it kept private that is fine, if not let my know who you are
  12. Hard to correct things if the metal is cracked from the water quenching too fast, but you know best
  13. cherry red isnt hot enough, and water?!?! if it were hot enough you would have shattered the pliers, try reading the pinned heat treat explanation I already wrote.
  14. you may want to research an alloy called Tumbaga
  15. Around here the delivery charges make it cost about as much as just getting it at the stations anyway
  16. I have to agree with George about location of the tank, not safe that close to the fire at all

  18. I got titles for him, Attack of the killer birch? or for Whom the tree falls?
  19. Understandable, Rich didnt want to write anything for the book, so I was going to edit what he posted in the chat and try to get that usable, and he was not happy about that. He refused to allow it, so after a while I gave up and did it by myself
  20. Glenn conned me into writing my first book, It started as me just cleaning up the chat room knife talks, getting rid of the normal banter of a chat room, then it was organizing the stuff into coherent grouping, then filling out the missing information, after about one year of that then filling in what Rich and I never got around to writing, next thing ya know I have a book, which I never would have done if Glenn had just came out and said I needed to write a book in the first place...
  21. that was my fault I changed it back, I miss-read the title, Dyslexia can be funny at times, I saw a typo where there wasnt one
  22. Since you are not used to heat treating, I honestly suggest hire it out, its not usually very costly, and you should get the best from your steel that way. To maybe save a little money allow them to HT with another batch rather than having to do your asap will save a little on cost and for the record I never threatened to ban anyone nor, do I have a problem with sarcasm
