We will be leaving the thursday before Moony's 6 am 9 hours later we should be there with a couple of pit stops :D

I recon 34 sleeps for me :rolleyes:

If needed for the weaklings, we can make another little anvil for them to lift, just so as they can say, "I lifted up moonys anvil"

Hey Cheers John and the young takker, (Darren). Actually there was Moony Me Damo Starlo Charlie, Phil Cleary all there that weekend that were card carrying time served metal bashers. How is the anvil going, has Darren used it for anything special yet? How old did you say Darren was, we'll keep him in mind as apprentice material.

The only 2 Blacksmiths i've met are Yourself and Moony , the rest of us are wanna be's. When you got that piece of paper to say Certificate Of Proficiency as a Blacksmith, then you can call yourself a blacksmith.I'm a Toolmaker not a blacksmith ,but i try.My boy Darren says hi ,he's the one that got the anvil made for him at Moony's
Cheers John

G'Day Ian
