i wouldnt worry about making food stuff from mystery metal when you heated it to form it i would say that burned any thing harmful off

i dont know if its true or not but i heard that their brittle, though i used bed frame for the frame of a little lawm mower trailer

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.

anyone see it? at the beginning the one guy beating the xxxx outta truck and then they tell him that its the blacksmiths, who is just pounding on a piece of steel and has "love my truck" tattooed on his arm. lol good movie, whats your thoughts on it

turns out i got a 207 pc socket set from dad, and got a 203 pc set from brother, mom gave me a new cell phone to keep in touch when she moves, and i got myself a new tool cabinet and chest to keep the tools in.

what do you mean? i still have 13 more mins to go, even then i don't think he likes it when you are up sitting on ifi

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"

you have to be sixteen to buy knives in ontario. as far as making them and selling im more then 99% sure your more then ok on it

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

careful with the gas in it. wouldnt want to comtaminate(sp?) the forge now lol

what about door handles, door latches, and brackets for lights.

how was it? good turn out? i guess i really must join up myself

when i was dial up i forge was the fastest one i was one, now im not noticing anyhting but faster results

going to the wife saying you need all these annex's (which you do) might just put you in the need for that shop bedroom, shop kitchen, shop living room lol

lol i guess i need to be more observant. oh well

what about a general idea of the area you come from, so any new smiths or whatever could possibly find a mentor, im in the owen sound area myself

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.

as far as anything auto dark helmet under 200 bad, i bought my dad a auto darking helment at a surplus store when they first came out really, for $60 and its lasted up until now and is still going strong, and sitting around a farm its abused abit in getting left screen down.

i was wondoring if that metal shipping strap you find in the scrap bin, when made into a damcous(sp?) if it could be usefull or a waste of time? thanks for any help

did you make the hoof pick out of a horse shoe? it looks great, and the cross it amazing,

whats the RFD channel?

beard, and short hair, only guy in high school that has one that isnt weak and thin,

an arbor press came home with me from school today, its a bench top model and the screw is damaged but it was free and i can easily weld a flat piece of steel to drill holes into and fix the threads.

just about anything it takes to run a farm, im a soil analyst, a veternian(sp?), and a welder among other things lol but really im like alot of you and a big history buff, when i get the chance to be.

was in shop class one time and a couple kids where at the bench grinders shrapen something, when it caught and went flying across the room and hit the wall, turns out it was a ninja star type piece of sheet metal
