DanBrassaw Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I've been lurking around these forums for a few weeks, posted here and there recently, and to be honest, the list of forum sections is so long, and my attention span in so short, that I just found this category today! Well, I know a guy who knows a guy, and that guy is a smith! All the talk of hot metal got me thinking, so when we had an early thaw right after Xmas I cleared out an old chicken coop and started welding up some gear, and collecting tools. I'm now an accomplished mess maker and mangler of metal (how's that for alliteration!) Anyhow, that's my story, see you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Welcome to IFI, Dan. Before it's over, you will no doubt have added a few more bits to your language. That happens from time to time when things don't go just right. Glad to see you here and looking forward to seeing some of your work. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hey Dan, Welcome to IFI. Pull up a stump and sit a spell. Lots to learn here, (not from me necessarily) but plenty of others. Glad to meet you. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great uncle had a lot of chickens. This coop is 20x60 ft. Haven't felt claustrophobic yet. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
