  1. I just re-read my comment, I should slow down when I post something. I was referring to a dissagreement elsewhere, about the blinder thing. Everybody here is very helpful and I hope nobody took it wrong. Where's embarrased emoji when you need it....
  2. I'm with Arkie, I can't wait to see the finished piece. You are inspiring me to give repoussé yet another try.... I'm impressed with your set up, the magnifying lamp adjustment bolt and wrench are nice additions.
  3. Your welcome. I admit Savoy Brown is a little crusty. I found a montage of Honeydew and Beaker but it was quite long.... Fun stuff. And one of making pumkin pies with a chainsaw and bazooka.
  4. Keep your eye out for a cheap lathe in the future. Cut your own taper and much more. Don't wear blinders like others.
  5. Here's a good old rock/blues band. I can't post my favorite song here tho.
  6. It might be worth it depending on your interest and pocket book. Going out to eat in a decent place isn't very cheap either these days. I wouldn't know really until I experienced it. Isn't it cheaper if you book beforehand?
  7. I thought of that but I don't do demo's (sigh) and my nephews are to old for them. A lot of people make jewelry out of them.
  8. Almost like my first experience with fire and flame.
  9. I found a bunch of cut nails at the junk shop, probably wasn't worth the gasoline getting there. Had to buy something. Maybe I can re-sell them as "coffin nails" and make some money. That makes them have mystical powers, so I hear on the internet. Or make a porkupine sculpture.
  10. I figured as much but couldn't resist pulling your leg. . There's at least one company out there selling morris tapers. I bet they don't sell much...
  11. Some forged hands coming out of the wall to hold them would be cool.
  12. Very nice haul, overall. I really like etching mochine....
  13. Actualy, I had one a friend gave me and I kept it in the truck with a cheapo generator for fixes so I shouldn't laugh too hard.
  14. I appoligize. It struck my funnybone.
  15. Not referring to anything but that made me laugh..
  16. He must be a tough hombre, he's still at it at 70. Maybe he wore a respirator while he worked it. They provided them a plenty. I don't know as I was at home resting for the next shift. All I know is the smell it left behind.
  17. Right after Wicon posted his. It's not any big thing, maybe I should not have mentioned it. If you look at other videos of the same song, it's pretty political. But not the one I posted. I'll post it again but the context may be lost. Thanks.
  18. Well I did walk away and also didn't buy anything. I can't afford to buy his junk to remove it from a potential buyer. Maybe I should have "accidentally" tipped it over and crushed it on the floor and left quietly. That's what I was thinking about, is left over contaminants. Can you decontaminate something like that? I can see just the galvy but chrome? I wonder what else he got up to with it. It was pretty frustrating talking to him.
  19. Burning hair is pretty good description George. I put up with it as others did mine. Nobody wanted to rock the boat and ruin a good thing. Heck, one guy used to rebuild small engines in there and everybody used the pressure washer to wash their cars at break. It was a high stress place and they could not keep help... Management understood and the place ran suprisingly smooth.
  20. It's good to see you post, Hondo. I will pm you. I'm only an hour from you, you know. I can help out some, I imagine.
  21. I had a job in a control room in a high stress place and we were allowed to bring projects to work, as long as we did what was required, jobwise. I polished and sanded a lot of projects there. The fellow I followed (rotating shifts) used to bring in buffalow and cow horns to make powder horns. He ground on them with a dremel and the smell/stench lingered my whole shift. Those look nice!
