    Your welcome, it looks to be in pretty nice shape! I’m jealous!

    I just has another thought, what if you did the trees body ,branches and roots outta the cable an used copper wire to do the foliage?
  8. TWISTEDWILLOW

    Lol it’s okay Scott, he can be a paleontologist if he wants to, or an artist or a robot builder or whatever else he wants to be! I don’t care as long as he’s happy healthy and makes enough money to take care of me an ash when we get old lol

    Lol yeah that’s a good point Thomas, there’s probably more money in learning how to design an build animatronic Dino’s then digging up real ones!
  11. TWISTEDWILLOW
    Sounds like a cool project! i couldn’t think of a way to do the foliage so I did a online search for metal bonsai tree, and I seen several where the makers curled hundreds of wires to make the leaves an it looked pretty cool, I don’t know how many strands your cable is but maybe you could just forge weld the center section of the cable and do your roots on bottom an curl the wires on top?

    Jerry, it was worth it, I had to take breaks on a bench every so often but we all had a good time, Scott, he just might be a paleontologist but only if he gets to ride the train to the dig site! Lol

    Looks good to me! I have one of my post vises that close to my forge, I don’t think you’ll run into trouble

    Charles, I’ll try an remember your tail trick if I’m ever dealing with it again, i got some pictures from the zoo trip today, it’s a hard toss up over what max likes better the train or the animatronic Dino’s! Lol max had to have a stuffed trex an then marched over to the big mama trex an used it to roar back at her! Lol sorry the sun glare made it hard to get some of the pictures clear,

    Hopefully you find them someday! That would be cool to go back an read through your family’s letters! Wait till I get my awesome new stationary and I’ll mail you some chicken scratch! Lol I used to have to clean out storage units of people that didn’t pay their rent, I always felt bad dumping truckloads of family documents, photo albums ect… I love watching tracking numbers an trying to understand why something bounces back an fourth across the whole country when it was already in a distribution center close by, I’ve never actually used one ive just seen them in pictures and for sale, I guess the plastic pens are more my speed anyways lol

    it’s been a week now, im getting along better, it’s sore an been swelling a little but over all okay The Doc stitched it best he could be I’ll probably still get a pretty good scar outta it, I kinda way way over did it today, we drove up to the big city early this morning to take max to the Tulsa zoo, they are hosting a big animatronic Dinosaur exhibit an we’ve been waiting to go for a long time, so I didn’t wannna disappoint him, he loves dinosaurs we knocked those out early over all though we spent 5 hours at the zoo seeing everything an walkin around an finished up by riding the train, then a long drive back home, so I’m pretty wore out an my feet an leg is screaming at me! Lol Jerry, when you come to visit I’m not lettin you play with any fire! Lol

    Thanks Randy!!! I’ve wondered what it was used for a long time! Thanks arkie! Lol Scott, I don’t plan on ever building a clapboard cabin but just in case I do I’ll keep it intact! Lol

  23. TWISTEDWILLOW

  24. TWISTEDWILLOW
    I’ve had this thing hanging on my shop wall for years I just pulled it off an looked at it an it says Stanley, It’s adjustable an has an edge on one side of the teeth it used to be shiny but I don’t think it was chromed what is it called an what’s it used for?
