stunning.............

that is beautiful thanks for sharing. :D

good deal Frosty. That thing looks like a monster fist. :)

I have never had to disconect the batter when jump starting. The computer in a car has a "surge" protector between the computer and the battery/ alternator. If that battery explodes it could cause an EM puls and kill the computer but not a simple jump start.

I name all of the meat that hits my plate. weather it is beef, pork, or deer. All get the same name and that is DINNER. :)

good work on both of you. I am sure your friend will love it. :)

I live in the middle of the city with 7 neighbors within a distance I could hit their yards with flux from forge weilding if I wanted to. Although I have decided to use charcoal instead of coal for the forge I am going to seriously deaden my anvil and if anyone gives me issues I have a fire police office living with me and helping out at the forge so I do not see any issues to date except I will realy need to be carefull when I am forge welding :)

check here for info Atlantian A&S Links: Main there is alot of info on everything medieval not sure of any books though because it is not my area of study. :)

personaly I would bend the sheet metal for the table to follow the cutouts in the fire pot. if that wasa not able to be done I would put the cutouts flush and build up the table around the rest of the pot. just my 2 cents. :)

nice work squire. :)

That is cute. Might want to think about something heaver than the tarp if you want to keep the cats out. Of course that is once mama moves them.

tongs are one of the few tools you can make without needing tongs. look in the blueprints there are 3-4 ways to make tongs there.

thanks. the forge welding idea was just something I was thinking about and wanted to know if anyone has done it. I still might play with it on pieces that are for show not heavy combat just to see if I can do it though :)

nothing........

Thanks for the info. I will check out armour archive once I get out of work. :)

Thanks Eyrian. I am getting ready for Highland river meeles tonight so I can't make the social.
