If the staff in the big stores over there are anything like here in Aus, most of them wouldn't know their ass from their elbow, and exert ten times the effort hiding from customers than they do helping. I guess it has something to do with the pay scale.

Well the label tells it all Stroyeror- black steel is just that, no galvanising or other nasty stuff. Start building your tuyere.

Maybe someone with a better memory of school boy chemistry will correct me but I suspect the chemical reaction between the zinc in the gal and the hydrochloric acid may produce hydrogen gas, which would not be a good thing around and ignition source.

So it's Frosty who lives in the land of SNOW, but it's Steve who seems to have the uncontrolled mucus flow. But over breaches of the rules made in the past, they seem to be vying for the word LAST. So neck to neck in the race to the tape, the winner will wear the crusader's CAPE.

Well I'm over being berated so I prepared a meal, if belated. Some cream I did CLOT and season a lot, as sauce for a BASS, which I cooked in a pot, served on a plate and eaten hot. After eating such FARE remain sad I could not.

Using the hand-formed rivets really compliments the organic look of the bowl, the whole thing is pleasing to the eye. You might want to put a slight curve to the legs on the next one to reflect the shape of the bowl. Well done bloke. And I bet those rivets would be even tastier with a little ketchup and salt.

As your proposing to use a log and maul to form your hood I'm guessing you plan on having curved elements. I'm thinking a cardboard template would be easier to to tape together to check your sizing and dry fit before attacking the drier carcass. Oh and I would also be testing the paint finish on the carcass with forge temperatures to see what kind smoke and fumes it might give off during the first few uses. Love the recycling idea.

I'm guessing it would be too cold to stick weld when you have to get the O/A fired up to melt the frozen arc.

CLOGOTOMY. The surgical removal of Frosty's boot from your bum after you muck up the other word game.

Well that was a kick in the bum from Frosty's CLOG, and if I didn't have such thick skin I might have cracked the SADS, but being the warm loving guy that he is I'm sure he meant no HARM.

Watching PULP on the tube might seem a SAFE pass-time, but is that really playing your PART?

'your heart' the place where old dogs live for ever. 'your memory' the place where you can visit with him any time you want.

GRIPTION - The lack of which causes tools, work pieces etc., to fall, fly uncontrolled across the shop.

WOBBLEOCITY - Uncontrolled and unplanned movement in a structure or fabrication generally present in direct proportion to lack of bracing and or forethought.

That is one beautifully crafted and impressive stick whittler. You should be unashamedly proud.

Such Alaskan recipes are not for the SLIM, full bellys cause them to lay about IDLE, stuffed to the CORE.

I took the recipe and cooked that fish on a heated TILE, to improve the taste I added a stange blue PILL, but I guess it wasn't such a good idea, cause now my belly is SORE.

When he found the girls' favors were for SALE, his ardor it did KILL, and he told her to go from whence she CAME.

Well I tried to PAVE that road with my good intentions, but that remark was a bitter PILL to swallow, so I will take Frosty's harsh remarks with a grain of SALT.

Sebiche is a dish I would never HAVE, but to make it, put the ingredients in a MILL then bury the results in a HOLE.

Those locals were a bunch of thieves and their leaders name was DAVE, he had a really long police FILE. They had been unable to catch him for years so they decided to send in a MOLE.

When I had eaten all Frosty's party colored reef fish whilst siting in a CAVE, I caught a big PIKE, with my trusty fishing POLE.

You would only find those in the produce store next to the navel oranges.

What do you call a fly without wings?.................................... A walk. What do you call a dog without legs? Don't call him anything cos he won't come anyway.

Orgtwister is right, that shop is disgustingly neat , tidy, well organised and CLEAN. Mrs Mick must never be allowed to see that photo, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. All that and a superbly simple tyre hammer and grand bellows. GobblerForge, could the lack of wear in the pivot points be in the greater part due to the excellent design concept of using the hydraulic piston in the cut down cylinder, thus eliminating a lot of friction, stiction and allround freeplay in the hamer mechanism? I am mightily impressed.
