City Coal Yard has now moved to Riley, IN and is no longer selling smithy coal... so it can come off the list.

I love the idea of the copper and black but for this purpose I have a reason for using the stainless blade... The sheet of stainless belonged to my father... The last 4-5 years of his life was centered on how he could make mom happy... I know that he would appreciate even in this small way of giving toward her happiness now. I think it was GTAW on the chat the other night mentioned using brass rivets... I'm leaning that way right now... I'm getting a chuck of clay this week and think I'm going to practice it out... Thanks for the input guys... JWB I still look forward to meeting at some point

Hello one and all, for those who remember me... Yes I am still alive and kicking... Got a project that I need to get started on but would like some input from all of ya. My mother is getting married and I want to make her cake serving set. Knowing my mom she is likely to use this after the wedding day and will want to wash it in the dish washer... Thus my initial thought of stainless? Here is what I have in my mind on the server itself. Square bar stock split or cut into 1/4s then tapering 2 into a heart and then doing it again on the other side so that the "blade" of the server would be held on from both sides with the hearts. Goal is that the hearts would match from side to side and follow the contour of the server blade at the point of connection. So, how would you approach this... I have some ideas but would love some input for making it easy... Thanks for your time! James

The WISE and prudent thing to do, would be not to test how far we can go... GAPS and flaws in our wisdom could cause the FLAG of warning to be flown high above our heads...

To READ a POST on IFI won't cost you a dime but it is worth a HEAP!!!

taking a deep look inside

It truly scares me to see the ZEAL that he displays in apologizing HAND over fist for who and what America is. We have lost a lot of blood on foreign SAND defending other countries and people. I personally feel blessed to be an American, if we are so bad why is it that so many still want in?

Those lumberjills are quite amazing indeed... I once seen one peddling FLAX see oil but as she would TALK about the benefits she would slur her words and the sale would be a total LOSS...

My PLEA is simple... I wanna stop this thing they call work and go fishing. A little corn meal a dash of SALT and I'd cook a feast of crappie and bass. EAST to West, North to South no lake and no fish would feel safe ever again!

The problem with a pill in his brew is it had a strange effect and he GREW TILL he turned green, his shirt shredded and being mad he would begin to run after you! Catching his little finger on the front CLIP of your truck causing it to be a complete total! A smart man would simply sooth him with music and flee with GLEE!

With soil of CLAY I can TELL you leveling the dirt floor of my shop may well take my whole CLAN and then some!!!

Heart of gold

My plan is to get a PLAT map and plot out exactly where I will spin and jump. That way I won't have to have FELT the pain of a ROOT being driven through my toe...

I deal with barrels all day long at work... remember even things that seem harmless may not be. Any kind of oil, including food grade soy, corn or other oils are flammable and in the right situation explosive!!! Other things to keep in mind is that things like corn syrup, malt extract, and other high sugar items that are transported in 55 gallon drums are flammable as well when exposed to the right ignition source. The best bet would be to search out a barrel that has a clamp on lid. I personally have obtained several corn syrup barrels that have the lids held on with a clamp. These don't require cutting to get them open. You can then thoroughly wash the corn syrup away completely with some hot water and a bit of soap. Take the time to find a drum that isn't going to hurt you!!! think about what was in it!!! if you wasn't the one who emptied the ingredients be suspect of what may have been in it!!! One last idea... Years ago my grandfather had a barrel opener that he used in the gas station he owned. It was a giant version of a P-38 can opener that he had made. (P-38 can opener picture can be found here P-38 the handle was about 5 foot long and with a guy to hold the barrel and one to operate the can opener a barrel could be opened in a matter of minutes. Grandad, did not like the idea of wasting anything and would then be able to get every last drop of oil out of a barrel... and those who know me think I'm chintzy!

Chocolate to some is like a DRUG, and though it is legal to buy and SELL you had better know the consequences... for Chocolate will hang on your mid section and rear like SOOT on the walls of a chimney!!! (By the way it isn't real chocolate unless it is 75% of higher cocoa!!! I especially like the 95% cocoa baking bars!!!)
