  2. thank you Steve i have read some of Glenn's post where he shared some of Mr. Hofi's knowledge
  3. Seb, yes the hole on the tapa is for the switch of an adjustable snare that I have built off of different designs I saw on YouTube M.J.Lampert
  4. what was his username on here? praying for his family
  5. so this cutie came into the family and has her bother (me) on cloud 9. Sonya Naomi also some more progress on the Cajon, I am thankful that wood can have dents steamed out a bunch more parts finished just have the main box to finish now, got 1 coat on the inside and might get the second tonight M.J.Lampert
  6. might touch more on this project in my personal ramble but this is what 300$ in snowmobile parts looks today (for a 1974 rebuild), from the parcel depot M.J.Lampert
  7. Last night was full-moon and a nice clear sky caught this we have just over 2 feet of snow on top of 3-4 inches of ice from a few early melts their calling for positives next week again M.J.Lampert
  8. one time me and some friends were messing around on the baseball Dimond and we had a strike that hit close enough to stand your hair on end. last year I was pressure washing a piece of equipment during a rain shower when we had a lightning strike that I am certain was under 1 km away, the silo they stored the cement powder was pouring dust through the vents because of the shock wave, way too close for comfort M.J.Lampert
  9. a while back n it followed me home i mentioned this laser thermometer it sadly but expectantly fell out of their given accuracy currently contacting them so will se if they will fix this problem M.J.Lampert ps also got the front of my Cajon finished one coat of finish to go
  10. great to see this expert out in the shop again
  11. not sure if i want to embarrass myself that bad
  12. some more progress pics on the Cajon gluing the bottom on the tapa (front) 1/8th Birch plywood cut and drilled the top being glued on a problem I had last night was that the brass screws are snapping before they get tight I pre-drilled to the specs on the package for hardwood (3/32nds) and it is drilled deeper than the length of the screw i had the clutch on the drill at 4 so it should have been low torque. also just how bad I am at making things square finally a mock up of what it will look like (before finishes applied) have a great weekend M.J.Lampert
  13. someone will probably come along and quote a source but my understanding is that tools used for hot work don't get hardened because their use tempers them to a point where the hardening is lost, cold chisels on the other hand would be hardened just my understanding of the little I've read M.J.Lampert
  14. looks better than I could do. I know at that age I would have loved something like that.
  15. beautiful, reclaimed wood is so nice I'm glad its the "in thing" right now
  16. mail call got this in the mail this morning will do some tests in my members thread against a lower temp, higher quality thermometer. according to some reviews the quality control is not 100% but customer service is supposed to be reasonable M.J.Lampert
  17. njanvilman every time you post I know I will get a case of anvil envy but this one takes it to a new level. Thank you for rescuing all these timeless artifacts. If only each one could tell their story...
  18. Thomas if i was closer i would enjoy being a minion and a remover of unneeded tools i am certain i could put them to great use on the other hand I hope you are around to use them for many more years
  19. there's an old article by arki that shows some different designs in this section but not really a tutorial
  20. updated logo to closer refer to such a name see profile picture
  21. thanks all George I didn't think of that, as I would've considered it Cultural Appreciation as it is recognizing a landmark, but I guess these days even if you don't offend the people its concerning someone else will be offended for them messing around online the closes thing I could find was a Tundra Mountain ranch in Colorado. I checked on the BC name request registry and there was 24 names coming up that started with Tundra but nothing close, for some reason if I turned it from ironwork to blacksmith or blacksmithing they turned up no similar results. also found I could end it with "Co." thus there is in my mind now preferred ideas, though I prefer the first i am open to others ideas. Tundra Mountain Blacksmithing Tundra Mountain Blacksmith Co. M.J.Lampert
  22. so i was looking at a map book near an area that I had been in and noticed this place thought it was an interesting place this got me thinking that perhaps my name choice of Two mountains Ironwork which was meant to be describing an imaginary point in my mind but i recently found that that is the translation of a town in Quebec (Deux-Montagnes) so I decided to think of a Place that holds more significance to me while still keeping the touchmark so my mind when to my grandparents ranch at the base of the Ilgachuz Range so I decided to have a look and the closest peak in that system is Tundra Mountain. now the reason I posted all this is I'm trying to decide between Ilgachuz Range Ironwork or Tundra Mountain Blacksmithing both which turn up nothing close in web searches tia M.J.Lampert ps. ilgachuz
  23. no matter what you made a fine knife and learned lots for the next one
  24. if we really want your thoughts we'll give ya a loonie, if we think your absurd we'll call you loonie
