Better than working all day at the FIRM.

If everyone takes PART this could go on a long time.:)

Rich, NOPE not yet, but there is always HOPE for tomorrow!

Don't be RUDE pass the Holland rusk this way!!!:)

Mandoro, I don't know what the steel is, but I know the solid steel bars we worked out with for bench press, dead lifts or clean-n-jerk were really tough stuff and took a lot of abuse and I have never seen one fail. I know there are light duty hollow bars they look more like black gas pipe. There is also a solid Olympic style bar which is even heavier and thicker. But either way the solid ones are made of tough, durable stuff. Hope it works well for you. TIM

Has anyone used a elephant TUSK for a knife handle?

My dogs are start'n to BARK.

Waist deep in MUCK!...YUCK!:)

Sam, That is a good looking piece, I like the makers mark you stamped in. That last picture of you holding the work...looks wild!!!

JOHNNY99, No matter the specific name you have done beautiful work. It has a nice flow and finish and as Irn said "very pleasing eye". Something to be truly proud of. I could never understand slapping stuff together (abstract) and giving it a name now makes it art or sculpture. Again what you have created shows a good working knowledge of your medium, skill and beauty....good job!!! Tim

She's mind kind of lass if she likes to fish for BASS!

My old albums are on vinyl DISK!

Maybe there was a COUP in that coop!

Rich, maybe you were out on a BOAT.

Maybe your landlord is not human, but hatched like a ZOON.:D

If we couldn't find a new word the game would be DEAD!

I no it's not on the DIET, but it sure will taste good, having a dinner of BEEF, DEER and cold BEER. It will FEEL even better to put up our FEET, check out the DIES and enjoy some coffee and fresh baked PIES! Maybe early tomorrow we'll rub on some DEET, Grab our rod and REEL and head out to the REEF.;)

I agree, so lets get out and throw the NERF!

Hey Boss, You've got GAME!

Beating steel and playing with fire, I'm for HIRE!:D

Anyone got the keys to this LOCK?

It was raining at that demo and you were standing knee-deep in MUCK.:D
