TWISTEDWILLOW

That’s interesting, I’ve never seen that style hammer that big!

Sweet overhaul!!!!!

Couple of tripod stands been working on, on for a 60 pound Trenton the other for a 176 pound Trenton,

Watch out George! you’re drifting from the FN topic at hand!!!! Anvil man already “drove” that point home!!

Shaina, That’s a sweet find! I’m jealous, I found an odd contraption at an auction this weekend, it was definitely hand forged riveted and the chain was forge welded, im guessing it’s some sort of log roller, cant hook or maybe a old time fence stretcher?

Awesome! How did the new seal hold up in the mail?

You got better weather out there anyways! We keep jumping from 20F to 75F and back again! I live in a valley between Swepston hill an Barron hill, and the thunder, boomin, flashin, ground shakin, window rattlin, storms make for one heck of a show! big thing is hopefully there ain’t no wind what comes with it!!!

I’ve been zapped by the welders a time or two on really humid days, the worst shock I ever had was when I was working on a customers big side load washer and didn’t double check that they had unplugged it when they pulled it out from the wall… my stupid fault… had my arm way up in there an found the leak… unfortunately I also found the capacitor at the same time, I jerked back an sliced my arm up pretty bad on all the sheet metal, I thought the customer was gonna pass out when they seen all the blood

Closest strike I’ve seen was about 15 feet away, it’s been a few years back, one morning I was sipping coffee on my front porch it was dark outside about 5am in November before I went to work and it was boomin pretty good, and I was just watching the storm when a bolt hit the transformer across the highway and directly after that a bolt stuck the tulip poplar tree in my front yard 15 feet from me, the flash was so bright I was disoriented for a minute trying to find the front door, when I came home from work that afternoon and went to inspect the damage in the light I found bark and splintered wood over 100 feet away from that tree in a couple directions, I was afraid we were gonna have to cut it down but come spring it budded out and tear after year has been slowly sealing itself back up

I’m glad the post card made it Randy! I got a bunch of different ones from when I visited Sequoyah’s cabin, and I wasn’t exactly sure how to address them because I’d never sent a postcard before, Shaina, you forgot having the grill cooking a. Drinkin beer while ya watch the storm! Or maybe thats just me…

I ain’t had no problems with that, they do their business everywhere but the coal for some reason, really id prefer they do it out in the field where I don’t walk but it’s hard to reason with a shop cat

Good to know! Thanks for the info! I might pick up a pair an try em out full time and see what I can get out of them

Thom Shop crocs! I like it! Lol

Howdy from Peavine America! An welcome to the forum! cant wait to see your up an comin projects!

Coolest thing I saw at the scrap yesterday was a 10 foot stick of 3”x3” square bar i don’t need it for anything per say… but imma trying to think up a justifiable reason to drag it home they have an older metal shear 100+ years that probably weighs 10 tons or more settin in there, I’ve thought about inquiring about too but Id have to borrow a crane to unload it once I got it here, so that’s kinda on the back burner…

Yeah I checked their website out awhile back an I believe your right they do make some!

That’s awesome! Y’all need to rig that dude up with a light inside!!!!

Carburetor cleaner works good too!

I got this!

Sweet sheath! i piddled around some more with the portable tripod stand for the little 60 pound Trenton I picked up a month ago 2”x2” 1/8” wall legs, 1/4” plate top an feet aint figured how imma attach to anvil yet though or the tool holders the other stand is for the bigger 172 pound Trenton 4”x4” 1/4” wall legs 1/2” plate top an feet gonna be expanded metal an angle iron baskets underneath both of them

I got it! Ain’t a single body drinkin beer, wearing ball caps a flip flops or hearing protection!!! Y’all poor folks need to hang out In peavine more an lemme show y’all how us more cultured rednecks do it! Bahahaha!

Jerry Sorry for the confusion, it wasn’t a was seal it’s a fancy Ink stamp

Well so far my $35 dollar heydudes have worked in the repair shop 2 days, carb cleaner, welding, messin with machinery, messin with fire wood an even a little bit of forge work an a trip to the salvage yard, an my feet are enjoying the memory foam insoles and thick fome soles! we will see how long they actually hold up doin all that though! Lol im hoping to get 3 months rotating 2 pairs,

Looks like y’all had a good time!
