I don't recommend casting on a sailboat........ Life is good Dave

David, glad the meeting went well. Not the best weather, but life is good....... Dave

Crank the heat up.........Dave

Rojo. In that case, what happens to the extra 4" every 1000' Life is Good Dave

David, if I may ask... where were you set up for demo and sales? I did visit a couple of spots in Parke County, last weekend. Life is Good Dave

Goods, did ya make it to the IBA southern conference on Saturday ? From the pics, I missed a good one... Dave

There are some good threads on electrolysis on this sight. A 100 gal. none metal water tank for livestock works a treat for me. I use A&H super washing soda for electrolyte. I have "cooked" complete , disassembled, antique tractors for restoration. If ya have any questions, hit me up..... Life is Good Dave

Welcome fellow Hoosier.... Life is Good Dave

When I went new truck shopping in 2020, I ask the salesman if he had one with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree......He looked at me with a blank face....go figure Life is Good Dave

OMG..... PM me if ya want to sell it...... Dave

Nice, I could use that with my micro smithy set up. Does it have a hardy hole? Life is Good Dave

The thin heel kinda looks like my Arm and Hammer. Bring itover and we will check it out. Dave

Rojo, I don't have a way to post pics from my flip phone. But I can text you a pic if you care to PM me a phone number. Life is Good Dave

MJ. what are you using to cut the crosses? I have a cheep portaband that I use with a homemade table and fence that I can adjust down close enough to cut them from 1/8" stock for earrings. Also, when I get set up to cut them, I will cut at least 50 or so. It is a pain to get them just right...... Dave

MJ. If I may ask... what size stock did you start with? Keep it up Dave

When I cut the 1/8" ones, I generally cut 50 or so at a time. I have to have no distractions and be in the right state of mind at the time. The 1/4" snowflakes are a bit tougher........LOL Dave Life is Good

Cut with fine tooth Band saw.....

When I am making ear rings or necklaces, out of 1/8 and 3/16 square stock. I do not cut one long leg off. I just loop it over for a attachment point. Life is Good Dave

I may be going old school, but it seems lately I have been starting my forges and wood stove with flint and steel. I make my strikers, char cloth and charcoal and add coal and coke as the time is right. It doesn't take much longer than the propane torch on charcoal method for me....... life is good Dave

David, yer festival / demo wouldn't happen to north of ya, a ways would it? Like maybe Parke County? Life is Good Dave

There is a Rail Road on the west edge of the grounds. How many rail cars could ya fill? ha Dave

Well......just got home from my day of Quadstate........ OMG if ya need it, it's there. I didn't meet any IFI members, but plenty of great people are there. My legs are wore out...... Life is Good Dave

So...if I go, should I wear my IFI tee shirt or my Hawaiian shirt? just sayin' Dave

I have an ole drag disk out back, that is headed to the scrap yard sometime. Should I get out the blue wrench and haul a few blades to Quad State with me? Life is good Dave
