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

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 -
What did you do in the shop today?
M.J.Lampert replied to Mark Ling's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
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 -
looks better than I could do. I know at that age I would have loved something like that.

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

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

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
