    never wear gloves when forging or welding, my dad was taught gloves can make you forget one day that your not wearing them when you go to pick something up. and i just sort of picked that line of thinking up too.

    the best one i have so far in life was when my dad and i were brazing an oil line on the tractor, that had been leaking badly. by half way thru the job i needed more water to keep the engine from burning up

    when you get the kids in the back talking, let a hot piece fall out of your tongs and into the slack tub cuasing the whoosh of steam then say well that happens if you don't pay attention.

    if i look out the back i can see the bush across our fields, if the sheep happen to be out on pasture then i can count the 185 or so of them if not then i can end up burning my steel thinking about the place, if i look out the side i can see the front of the barn and back yard, out the front in the house and road. sometimes the dog looking at me thinking" i wish you werent so loud so i could come and visit you"

    i know that my great grandfather had the farm shop. and the proable forge to heat rivets, but as far as famous well i think i would have to go back to some kind of norse royalty for that. dad says that his grandfathers shop was dismantled and thrown into the gravel pit that served as a junk pit. only the blower survived. oh well

    robb martin is a great guy from what little i know him (met him once and bought a bag of coal from) but his prices for tools seem a tad over priced in my humble opinion. but hes in Floradale near St. Thomas. for a new vise its $699. but he sells stanley and picard hammers.
