CurlyGeorge Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 WOW. You really made a haul. Sounds GREAT!!! Especially the 500 lbs of coal. We lost our supplier in this area and I'm having trouble trying to find another. On the upside, my wife ordered me a copy of Anvils In America. Should be here the first week in January. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Roy Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I didn't do as well as Joshua but I did get 100# of coal, the New Edge of the Anvil by Adrews and The Blacksmith's Cookbook by Whitaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I had dinner with about 30 other Meetup.com orphans who didn't have a place to go. Howie throws his doors open to us. He cooks the turkey, and a ham, we bring a side, and a bottle of what we like to drink. Had fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 biggundoctor your christmas sounds very humbling Not being a religious fellow Christmas doesn't have the same meaning to me as others. My Mother also passed away on Christmas morning in 2003. As it is, I learned that it isn't always a good idea to wait to tell others how I feel about them, because sometimes later doesn't happen. Now when I see something that I think a friend will like, I just get, or make it, and give it to them. No reason to wait till a birthday, or other holiday. I had fun, and I make new friends at these events. This was my second year. For some it was their fifth, or more. Last year we had around 45-50 show up for both Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Funny thing is that Howie is Jewish,but has done this for several years for his friends. This is his way of giving back to us. Good friends, and good food. What else do you need?

GunsmithnMaker Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Gee, all I got for Christmas was a Foredom Professional Flex Shaft Power Tool Kit. I was good and didn't buy myself anything because money is tight this year thanks to a vindictive neighbor. You can see it here: http://www.foredom.net/k2272.aspx Once I get my bench together it will see some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Remember to keep the flexshaft greased, so it doesn't melt the outer casing. That happened to Dad's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drq Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I finally got my flypress set up ! Its been sitting at my work for the last two months. I wrecked my back two days before it came in, and seeing as my boss bought it on the company credit card he said I couldn't have it till I came back to work. Well I'm back part time and a couple of my friends decided to put me out of my misery and came with me to grab it and set it up for me. That was a bit of a treat seeing as its on a gravel floor with no room for a crane or hoist, but with a whole bunch of 2x4 shorts and some good friends we managed to get it up on its stand. Thank god for good folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
