That happens around here occasionally, not with lizards but coyotes, they hide out in hay fields, most of the time they jump and run away from machinery but every now an then they do get up fast enough and get caught up in hay equipment

Awesome glad to hear it!

Baby mantis! I’ve been seeing a bunch here lately around the shop!

When I talked to Thomas the other night on the phone I think he said he’d be back online today sometime,

I’ll just go hang out at the HTs shop for now then, because ya know they always follow the rules and never use their welding vents for cigarette smoke in an undesignated area!

Pass the gun powder shaker Please! i need a little more spice on my eggs

I could be wrong but I think the generation that really used gelatin an mixed random bits of food in it remembered the Great Depression, and it was their version of stone soup,

What kinda smithing are you interested in doing? Hardware items? Blades? Armor? Architectural? ect.. Or are you gonna do a little bit of all of em?

Lol okay I won’t let him be a little terror that long,

Wow that’s a heck of a deal! i lucked into a 10” Dayton 1hp awhile back for $50 bucks, but a 12” 2hp would be even nicer! X2 on what Jerry said, defiantly clamp that dude down befor test running it might chase you outta the barn!

It makes it sound so fancy when people use the term “mid century”

Howdy from eastern Oklahoma and welcome to the forum! Glad to have you!

The channel is the Disney channel yall! good grief sometimes I worry about y’all! it won’t kill ya to watch a Disney movie once in awhile! it Might even teach ya something! ive got a toddler in the house I’d like to keep him believing in Santa an the tooth fairy for a few more days before he learns how icky poo poo the real world is… that all will come soon enough… I don’t mind watching those “kid” movies with him while he’s still interested, besides they got a catchy song in that movie! “Everybody wants to be a Cat!” Lol quit yer caterwauling an just watch the movie!

I have just received a radio Communication from our very own Thomas Powers! He is currently under siege at his smithy in Socorro New Mexico! the aliens from Roswell have begun their final assault upon his smithy! he is defending his smithy fortress valiantly and is currently holding the line! he is having to save his backup reserve data for emergency communication only! he has notified me that reinforcements will be arriving on the 19th of July and will be resupplying his data at that time, after which time he will be resuming regular communications with with everyone here! we here at Peavine Oklahoma are planning to send supplies and reinforcements as soon as we can, that is all the news for now, all those concerned should check back here regularly for updates on the battle conditions at Thomas’s shop! or if you need something a little less exciting just give him a call or a PM an he will get with you as soon as he can, that is all TW out…

Nah I ain’t gonna send you just a picture that wouldn’t do it justice!!! you just gotta see the movie! The whole movie too!!! don’t cheat! I’ll test you later to see if you actually watched it! Lol

It came out in 1970, it’s been around a little while, I can’t believe you ain’t seen it!!! I’ll find you a projector and ship it up there an y’all can play the movie on a glacier!

It’s been a little while, How’s the school coming along?

Now all I can picture is the butler from the Disney aristocats movie, with his motor bike an side car and those hound dogs after him!

A Scott by any other name wouldn’t sound as cool! lol you got it!

I got the opposite story goin on here, ive got a smith driving over here today who’s gonna be taking one of my old factory coal forges home! it will look sooo much better taking up space at his house!

the post vises seem a little high at $150 to me but I’m not familiar with the goin rates in yalls territory, Of coarse a new one from Vaughns hope works or kanca is around $600-$700 I think last time I looked, I have one of those pressed steel Buffalo forges that’s the deeper pan model, an mine has the big square Vulcan firepot, i don’t use it much but they are pretty decent forges in my opinion $500 might be a little high but then agin you were to look at new forges and fire pots that’s still not a bad price, the pipe vises would be way to high in area you can pick those things up for next to nothing,

Tree frog slacking on the slack tub this morning

Howdy from eastern Oklahoma!

That looks pretty handy John! I’m gonna be needing to make a big ring for a tool hanger on a forge soon and I’ve been looking at different ways to do it, I might have to give that a try!

Thomas your so silly! Of course no one’s on the moon! if they were then there would be moon rocks for sale on Amazon that an I’m sure there would be so many lit up billboards up there advertising junk that you couldn’t tell a full moon from a crescent moon
