December 17, 200916 yr someone find the other forum thread on this subject, so we can combine the two please. I know there are several on the opening page of the site, but I think there is another one in the forum.
December 17, 200916 yr I think we need to insert the "humor" tag as browsing archives when we run across this stuff. Phil
December 18, 200916 yr You might be a blacksmith if.... The first thing you show a new girl friend is your 150 lb trenton On top of your wedding cake is one of your minature anvils { she went along with this cause you convinced her it will forge a bond of wedlock}:cool: You cleverly arrange your wal-mart pool into the shape of an anvil Redman sends you a Christmas card If any of your kids are named, Peter, Henry or Trenton Your idea of heavy metal is different from your kids The fire dept knows you on a first name basis Your hound dog leaves the room in disgust when you tie on the leather apron
December 18, 200916 yr you make your own tools... wrenches hammers ... grinders... axes.. etc because the ones from the store just aren't durable enough... you take a shower and your gray hair comes back ... from the coal dust and grinding dust...
December 18, 200916 yr You get excited at the garbage transfer station when you see any of the following.. Empty disposable heilium tanks, those brown matteress bed frames, wash tubs
December 18, 200916 yr When the local scrap man greets you with "What ya looking for today." When your wife goes "We're not stopping for that," when you drive past "junk" set by the road.
December 18, 200916 yr Author those are some pretty good ones! Am I the only one that snoops through old buildings and such in search of blacksmtihng/antique tools???...
December 18, 200916 yr you start your bbq with coals from your forge your clothesline is down wind from your forge you wake up at 4 am every morning thinking about your project
December 18, 200916 yr Well, lets just say that anyone rummaging around in my 130-year-old farm buildings for stuff is likely to really really really tick me (and my mastiffs) off, especially without permission. My in-laws spent over 50 years dealing with folks making free on their farm with their flowers, their plants, and anything else not guarded with a large dog and a shot-gun. Apparently folks felt that since it was on a farm and not fenced in or locked-up then no-one owned it. Imagine people actually thinking that digging up flowers along your driveway was free stuff.those are some pretty good ones! Am I the only one that snoops through old buildings and such in search of blacksmtihng/antique tools???... You might be a blacksmith if you store stuff in an old barn.

December 18, 200916 yr Your scrap pile is a place guest stop and visit when you give a tour of your yard and garden.

December 18, 200916 yr A hammer is your first solution for any problem. Who has the signoff, to paraphrase, "If a hammer won't fix it you have an electrical problem"? Frosty

December 19, 200916 yr You might be a blacksmith if you have ever used a dutch oven and an oxy/accetaline torch to cook anything. A.S.T.
December 19, 200916 yr How about throwing the dutch oven in the wood stove for supper when the power went out. I use a propane torch to make coffee in my service van Mebby thats just redneck
December 19, 200916 yr You might be a blacksmith: If your wife goes out in the snow to shovel a path from the house to your shop. Yes, it is snowing, and we already have over 12 inches, and yes she has just gone outside with the announced intent to dig a path from the house to the shop. Hummm, sounds like a large hint to me.
December 19, 200916 yr You might be a blacksmith when you enjoy when santa puts coal in your stocking.
December 20, 200916 yr You're a blacksmith when you notice every fencepost made out of railtrack, and return later that night with a shovel.
