As kids we'd walk the tracks looking for torpedoes, once in a while one would fall off as the train approached and not get fired.

what they transported live torpedo's via rail one would think that they would have enough sense to activate them one loaded on the vessel or is there some kind of land torpedo i dont know about?

I didn’t know modern saw blades were high carbon. I’ve always assumed they were mild steel with carbide tips attached. 

mild steel bends to easy when cutting so it needs to have carbon

snaged thers pieces of A36 from work(with permision) would they work to make drifts out of?

also my mom got some apple wood for smoking meat so guess who got some new handle material 

still needs to be seasond i think though

also snaged this blade from work it cracked on the adge i am thinking some stock removal knves with it or try damascus weelds with it

I would welcome someone throwing stinging nettle seed in my yard and it growing. It is a super healthy pland and great as a compost tea for other desirable plants. 

you sound like my father and his side of the family they love netals me m mother and siblings meh 

scalbar i agree with wat others ar saying keep it up and when the new folks move in ask them what there sceduel is like if they get up at 10:30 on weekend start a t 11 if in the week they go to bed at 830 stop at 8 this gives a buffer zone to prevent you from disturbing them to much also become friends and gice them free goodies every once and a while

My wife says, "organized folks are just too lazy to look for things". She counts me in that category.

my mother is the opposite of that. me and my father have given her that line a few times or "ok you want a ___________ give me 15 minutes and I'll bring it to you"

well Frazer just got to set up the cot and the new work/living space is finished or do you

I discovered early on it takes a much softer touch to torch a bolt out without damaging the threads with oxy prop than oxy acet.

this is one reason my father uses (and i prefer) oxy propane. he is a heavy duty mechanic and there are times when things rust snap and don't come out. propane will stop at that rust line and cut the bolt out where acetylene will damage the threads just one more reason do go with a propane torch (we have an acetylene torch in the shop and some times I use it but I'll often wait for him to come home and grab the propane from his truck) oh and another plus a 20 lb propane tank lasts about as long as a medium sized acet. tank

sinDoc so true if its tight just allow it to drip off 

a trick my father taught me with tapered bearings is to weld a bead on the inside this causes it to contract and thus slip out
