Thanks for the info, Got a few new projects to get on with fancy antler handles. Thanks again Tim

Here in North Jersey I went to 4 or 5 scrap places before I found one that would let me even look.Almost all seemed PO'd and mentioned insurance reasons then chased me off. But I found one good one! Don't give up you'll find one and when you do, make sure to return with some hand made stuff to say thanks! Tim

Hit with right hand and walk around the anvil as needed.

WOW, Beautiful work!

Looks really nice Frosty!!

Thanks for a great thread MarkH, you sparked the creative juices! I have a bunch of antlers and have always wanted to use them creatively for blades or tools. I've always wondered about the best way to do it and the epoxy/friction sounds great. But also wondered can they be sawed in half length wise and epoxied or pinned like some wood handles on a knives or is that not practical. Tim

I have found that it depends on what I am doing weather I want it to my left or right. So I move around it as needed. Tim

Thank You All for the prayers, thoughts and well wishes!!! Mom sends her thanks too! The good Lord was sure Listening! They were answered today as Mom got to go home with a few special Meds to to work on clogged artery issues. As said before no damage to her heart, The Doc described it as a real scary warning and wake up call to make a few changes....Cut out the smoking, work on the stress, eat right and the medications should take care of the problems. Thanks Again from our whole Family TIM & Anna Marie

Thanks So much, It really means a lot! Here is an update on Mom, She has alot of testing which so far has shown no damage to her heart.(big sigh and thank you!) But there is some kind of problem...So she is staying a few more days. Tomorrow is an angiogram (sp) and then we will all know better how what the doctors will do. Thank you Again for the Prayers Tim

My wife got a scared call from my Mom this afternoon while I was at work. Could she please pick her up and bring her to the hospital, she was having chest pains, numbness and tingling. She does not like the fuss or attention of the ambulance. We are not sure what is going on but the doctors are testing and holding her for a while, But I am sure of the power of Prayer!!! I gotta tell ya when you hear something might be wrong with mom it has a very strange effect on your thinking. Lifes other problems seem to become very very small. Thanks TIM

Glad You jumped in, The Folks are real friendly here so grab a cup and pull up a chair.

Propane but getting together a Coal forge...Hope the neighbors are ok with it?! ;)
