Jimmy, kind of feel like I was tossed from the window... LOL I'm really praying for a door. A BIGGGGGG door, swung open good and wide...LOL

Well, it happened. Went to work today only to be told I'm no longer employed. I know I'm not the only one here that is in a state of unemployment, so if you have time and such, would you please pray for those of us that are in search of a job.

I truly appreciate your heart and time!

Road kill... anyone got a straw

Wow 2 saws... I only have one Husq, but I still have a stable full of saws that I can't get parts for... 4 homelites (one is blue with a 30" bar, a real mans saw) 1 McCollugh (heavy!)... So out of 6 saws I have one that runs... I have come to believe that is because only one of them is orange, the Husq!!!

??? have we derailed this thread??? Nah, still talking about wood workin' Stihl rather be beating hot metal...

You mean the one with her toting the PROD to keep her boyfriend in line?

(got my game threads mixed up)

gamy too

Hate is a mighty strong word Frosty, I just simply don't like him anymore!

Nice catch, what pond did you say you have been fishing?

La Tour, welcome to IFI... there are folks here that are much better qualified to answer your questions than I am, so I will let them answer you on these important topics.

While your waiting for a good answer, you might want to go to the top of the page and click UserCP, there enter in your location. This will help the others give you better answers. An example might be what kind of respirators are available in a given area of the world.

Look forward to seeing you around IFI

NO NO you can't have my "PRECIOUS" away with you away I say!!! My hammer (large bearded man scurrying away toward his forge through the brush and bramble clutching his "precious" hofi hammer...)

actually Dale, if I could scrape up the cash, I'd fly out tonight!

I'd love to see some pictures of the keyhole you cut with your Stihl, what oil premix are you using, and what weight bar oil do you find best? Come on pictures Frosty! we want pictures!

Her doo is always quite PRIM

I HAVE never much cared for them either...

Of course it is! just don't let it oxidize away in that oxygen rich Aussie air! Heck if ya want you can send your work here and I'll quench it in our own special mix of Indiana USA winter weather.

Sorry about the Lord of the Rings thing, I started this weekend on my yearly reading of the books to help pass away the time away from my forge...

Yeh but Gram, to the TRAM to the airport... Gone to the Bahamas I hear?

Mr blue birds on my shoulder

I've heard tell of these things called table saws and scroll saws, heck even heard once of a key hole saw!!!

Heck my 18" husq can cut a table and I don't need a saw at all to make scrolls... Key holes though, isn't that something you would punch and if it needed to be fancy maybe a little file work?

Crazy wood smiths

Double Double Double post

I'm more of a Husqvarna kind of wood worker myself but I've picked up my Brother in laws Stihl a few times... still better than those "precision" cutting tools many wood smiths use.

Especially if the fray is in the seat of your new GRAY dress britches

flick my bic

Glenn good thing you got that snow melted off, that white stuff mixed with the black char could have made a big mess!

I can't believe so many people from so many countries could come to a web site like this and all be in denial! Come on 50+ countries, 6775 members... We can't all be wrong!!!

The hammer striking hot iron on an anvil is like magic. It can make it like no one can see you, take you away from danger and strife. Much like a magic ring our hammers act as the medium that allows us to slip away into a much different world.

Guys, guys, where did you all go? You wouldn't leave me here all alone, come on at least help me build a fire first!!! Just a little fire... At least I still have my hammer, my "PRECIOUS" hammer...

Errr I mean James

Mike awesome, as a cubmaster and scoutmaster I appreciate your willingness to give a presentation to that group of young men. You may never know what type of interest you planted in the heart of some boy during that presentation!

My favorite type of wood work is done with a chainsaw... I have a closet to build in our home and my bride has already informed me that I can not use my chainsaw to build it...

Now that's abuse!
