Welcome to the site.

Thanks Jerry. Yes I lucked out and got me a good wife.. I thank the good Lord for her all the time. and believe this or not. But she was the answer to a prayer... LONG STORY.. I would love to live in Alaska, But the wife don't want no part of it.. I have planned before to visit there, But it'll never happen, Money is tight and seems like i can't get ahead.. But I reckon thats the American way..lol.. have you a good day..Tom

Cool Picture's.. I bet Grant the feller that made the touch mark could answer all your questions about the heat treating.. Have you ever seen the Cabover Conventional that run's around out there in LA.. I saw it out there in Ontario . that was along time ago , I'm not sure if its still on the road or not. But it looked wild..

thanks Guy's .. I'm looking forward to another good Challenge, come the middle of the Month.. This one will definitly be a Challenge for me.. Wish I could tell you all what it was but don't wanta let the Cat outta the Bag.. LOL.. Nice weather down here in Miami...

thanks to all of you guy's for the kind words... I havn't been doing this long, about a year. and realy don't get alot of time to play in my little building. I drive trucks for a living and while most are asleep I'm out pounding the pavement. Bud You don't live but just a hop skip and a jump from here, and I got two Anvils. One of them likes to rock.. gotta fix that dude in the future.. But give me a hollor sometime and come on over and we'll try to beat some metal.. Tom

I thought I would share my Video with you all .. this was a challenge , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGgaOtmvTeU

yes those state run Scales will get deep into your wallet,, You can go to a truck stop and buy a truck Map. and go around most of the Scales or do your driving at nite.. . Weigh it at a truckstop with a cat scale.. I wish you luck..

Well I'm glad your heading back to Tennessee, Maybe I'll get to meet up with you and break bread.. I would love to go up to Alaska for a vacation.. Only...lol.. I don't think I would want to home stead there.. have a good day..

That sounds good John. .. Send me your Ph number thru a PM and iffen I get in the area I'll give you a hollor..

Well I stopped in at the Junk place with high hopes of finding a better Post Drill then the one I have.. The old man told me some one came in and bought a bunch of his old blacksmith stuff. .. They cleaned him out pretty good, there's still remnants of blower's the ones I seen were all rust locked and he had a couple old post vises that were in bad shape.. Ol well... I guess that's the way it goes..

Very Nice. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'll try and remember that BigJohn.. LOL

I talked to him on the phone this morning and he said he would be there. He lives right next to the place... He's Normally closed on Tues & Wed according to the card he gave me the last time I was there. .. But I fiqured I would call and make sure.. Thanks Thomas..
