in the music world mwah is slang for the sound that comes from a fretless electric bass.

nice.

i'm not a pig guy, but that's kinda cute.

well, even if there is an easier way, practice can't hurt.

amazing job.

Okay, I meant that in a teasing way... considering both my sister and best friend are left handed... no offence, please.

I once got a $750 bow for $200 because it was "inferior"...

wayne goddard, C--1 toolsteel, and Stormcrow.

nice knives, all of them.

great job. keepitup.

i've still got a few months. c-1.

Thanks Chris. if you are willing to drive 1 1/2 hr. at a 5 minute notice to shoe 1 horse,and learn the high german words for everything in a farriers shop, then i'll ask him. AFTER he accepts me.

thanks bro.

Preach it Brother Steve! i sincerely believe that God has the power to grant any request,or i would not have asked for prayer. I hope i've done my part well, and i'll leave the rest to Him.

this is a somewhat trivial prayer request compared to some, but i would like prayer for my acceptance as a student at a local farriers shop. he is a master and would be an honer to learn under. i asked him about it this morning , and i'm to receive his answer on monday. this really means a lot to me, and i'm REALLY  hoping he will take me. thank ya'll for your support and encouragement.

that anvil looks pretty worthless, i'd be glad to get it out of the way for you.....

welcome to the forum.  if you have any questions, ASK THEM! no question is a dumb question when you don't know the answer.

you mean you didn't cut his head of? that snake wouldn't have been so lucky in my shop. 

frosty is right, as usual. i misread your post. I thought  u said cast iron, not cast steel. totally different can o beans.
