M.J.Lampert

good to see you back Thomas, you have the whole site worried we haven't got all the knowledge out of you that we need plus, what fun will the pun wars be without your input? all jokes aside hope you get well soon, my family just got a similar scare as we found out last week that my Oma in Germany has acute Leukemia M.J.Lampert

should be careful what I wish for, but I would like more snow here, only 2-3 inches and need at least double for the local ski hill to open

finishing up a blade I made and running into some trouble with keeping the blade straight steel: 1095 spine thickness: .07-.08 in oil: parks 50 Quench temp: non-mag +4-8 seconds oil temp: 6*C doing best to move blade in up-down motion only on second try immediately after oil stops boiling placed between anvil and a large flat piece of steel, still bent. 3rd try same plus pushing on plate with my weight, not as bad but still some. Now figuring I need reanneal and normalize again before trying any more on the plus side the blade did come out hard (take half a win over a full loss) results: #3 TIA for any help M.J.Lampert

flappy disk

got my entry('s) done... 1/8mild with 3/16 brass and 1/4 copper round stock riveted in. Inlays (??is that the right term for this) brought level to the steel, then wire brushed and given a temper for looks just need to finish them I'm thinking a clear coat. keep the work rolling in, M.J.Lampert

frosty look up cowboy curling. If you want, I can supply horses I just need some people to do it with :sinister-grin:

beautiful (as always) alexandre what wood is the bench?

it's here now to set it up my new toy, an ender 5 3d printer

ive been told teenagers dont need brains... from a family friend M.J.Lampert

I know Thomas will be missed on here for is excellent ideas and quick remarks hope he can get back on one last time to say goodbye on the plus side because of this forum people can learn from him for years if not decades to come. sending thoughts and prayers to the family to get through this M.J.Lampert

congrats Chimaera looking forwards to pictures

I understand not wanting packrats, having entered cabins that they took over but personally I would exterminate them rather than relocate as that smell/mess is not one I would wish on anybody

good to hear that Thomas is perking up (though I would have loved that estate sale) Looking forward to him coming back to the group soon M.J.Lampert

nothing in the shop today but completed an Occupational first-aid course at the local collage. M.J.Lampert

got the outside almost finished now to get the inside figured out

started on my winter challenge entry and got further on a knife project for a friend

some maple and walnut I picked up for a project. (Might start a thread not sure yet) sadly I need to mess around because all the boards that would work for me had a crook in them

frosty I know problem is I have 100 other projects before this comes along in the line up (99.5 of them are related to school)

we have nasty wind in bc as well -16*C outside but windchill drops it to -25 about 3 or 4 inches of white fluff on the ground starting last Thursday got some designing done for the Christmas project and got some logs stacked to cut into firewood

got some more info of the radio's info tag, it's a Canadian made built by roger majestic corp. limited for De Forest Crosley limited. Price in first year of sale 122.95 $ accounting for inflation that would be 2537.09 CAD today. this is some pictures from the net of ones in better shape I don't have the cloth or top as of now edit: found some more info on the company it appears that rogers-majestic bought De Forest Crosby after the parent company tried to expand too fast in the middle of the depression and went bankrupt in '33 here's a link explaining better than I can for those interested (I looked it through and think its ok for the site (if not please remove it mods)) De Forest Crosley Radio – A capsule history | (bcgolfhouse.com)

need to get some pictures but was given an old tube radio cabinet to refurbish it. It has working inners and once I have the cabinet fixed the owner is letting me decide what happens to it. not sure what make or model but there is a stamping on the inside "10/36" and another "Neptune" so my guess is a 1937 model?

Thanks Glenn I was going to post something like this in the next day or so.

the leafsprings I've had the bolt and collar only align and held the leafs together not under any pressure like a Coil spring which can turn into a projectile Jobtiel what kind of clamp you use? an F or C clamp?

Thomas sounds good I have a wonderful design i want to make a bunch of anyways Jobtiel I like that idea we can do different ideas based on the season or random choice M.J.Lampert
