http://www.livelyknives.com/ seems to be down and cant find anything on google. Was looking for the adobe mix for his lively forge. Anyone have any clue ?

Thanks

think he pulled all his stuff when he 'retired'... ran into the same problem. Found 1-2 posts regarding (adobe mix) it that I posted in a thread in the alchemy section.
 

 

 

That's why they started archiving the internet:

The latest archive of his site seems pretty complete.

Thanks for the internet archive link!!! That should save a lot of us tons of research time.

What does that mean? Did he retire?

Bob

That's my take on it, or at least he 'retired' from making/selling knives etc.

Ive had my fill and taken all the lumps I care to. Im just gonna lay under the shade tree and play my guitar from here on out. I'm officially retired as of now. Anyone want to buy a signed "Tim Lively" hammer? Or be the only one on your block to own the tongs I used in my video? Im out of this game brothers. I wish yall the best but Im going to be a rock star! Or not. Whatever.

Yeah, Im serious. It's been coming for a few years now. It was just hard to shake that monkey. I shut the website down to just video info already. This is my last post on any knifemaking forum so email me if you really want to buy my tools. They're nothing fancy, just worn out hand tools. Just like me. Its been real. Vaya con dios amigas!

p.s. His video is still available, think you can d/l it for approx 9$. Not bad for the $, though I had some minor display issues that Im not sure is the actual recording/video or particular to my system. (a few times, video did not seem centered/orientated on the topic of discussion, etc).

 

Wonder why he quit like he did. Was there alot of drama involved with him or his business? Just wonder what he meant by taking lumps. Seems he helped the BS community and was somewhat of a famous character.

Too bad. I have his dvd and still watch it from time to time.

Tim (and his wife Marion) sure seemed to do a lot with not so much which is pretty impressive to me.

A chunk of iron in a bucket of concrete for an anvil and brush for charcoal. And a lot of hard work.

Best of luck to Tim wherever he is.

I've heard he got tired of being ripped-off by internet "I don't have to pay no money" for his video. Really soured him I guess, dont blame him a bit.

One of the problems of this world where everyone has a DVD burner in even the cheapest computer. Nothing is safe from pirates.

I have his DVD and still enjoy it and I think I pick up something each time I watch it.

As for his anvil, it is the basis for the standard answer I give to a nooby when they want a "real" anvil to start. Lump of steel in a bucket of concrete. Not much more to say on that one, Tim proved it.

I wanted to download a pirated version and then pay him directly, 'cause I live overseas and don't want to wait for the DVD to be shipped. I couldn't find a legal download version, and I can't find the author!

Here's the story of where Tim and Marian are at now:

 

 

Be nice to find out how we can get his video so that the money goes to them directly?
