Woodskevin Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have no other way to explain what happened last weekend except it mush have be an evil wind gust!! I was forging a rr spike knife when a wind kicked up and blew my door shut. Mere seconds later a gust came down my smoke stack and filled my shop full of the gray filth. Without thinking I spinning back side kicked the door open and as I exited the building I tripped causing me to use my ukemi rolling skills. I'm still amazed I got to do all my hobbies in under 5 seconds.....smithing, karate, jujitsu!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Squint your eyes, walk to the door, turn the knob, and exit to clean air. Much easier and safer, but not near as exciting. (grin) Block the door open in the future. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 i put latches on my doors to hold them in place... a eye bolt and a simple hook for each door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendall P Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Sorta a "If chuck norris was a blacksmith" moment... Chuck Norris has to use his left fist as an anvil - nothing else on earth can handle getting hit by his right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The power of the forging god's will keep you on the straight a narrow. Did you get the RR spikes the right way? or did you lift them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Francis---a gentleman *never* asks! My local scrapyard had several 5 gallon *plastic* buckets of spikes last Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the RR spikes the right way? or did you lift them? The Lord is my Shepard!! A friend works for a railroad company and the boss let's them have whatever they want within reason when it comes to spikes. I pay him some cash and he puts it in the company picnic fund. No harm no foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Better get a signed and dated receipt that specifically lists one 5 gallon bucket of used rr spikes or what ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I only get a few per year. I'm only a blacksmith as a hobby. I understand everyone's concern and can tell you no worries. I walk the straight and narrow.
