chyancarrek Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So . . . that would be the "slackin'" tub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccustomknives Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It's so hot down here I boiled supper in our pool. I couldn't make myself work in the shop, on the bright side the heats don't take near as long and it stays at forging temp longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm sure there is a thread somewhere on how to keep critters out of the slack tub. :D And it sure looks comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I know what you mean, supposed to be 109 AGAIN today. We get 3 solid months of 100+ here with lows in the high 70's mid 80's, luckily we also get single digit to low teen humidity other than the monsoon season which will soon be the next couple of weeks. It was weird seeing it over 100 after midnight my first year down here, now I am used to it. Stay cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten Hammers Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Got a friend over on the river that collects old outboards. Would make a good ja-koozi. Have seen pictures of this type of setup. One of my daughters has a stock tank in the yard for the kids. Macbruce, you got the right idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Only if them outboards are 4 strokes. The oil from a 2 stroke would make a mess of the water fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah, oil is hazardous stuff, wouldn't want to get the Saftey Sally's in an uproar now would we?....... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsberg Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hummm, fishing for blacksmiths! The easy part is the hook, just a J wall hook. . . the difficult part is getting he 200 lb German anvil attached to it. . . not to mention the very heavy chain required to pull in the blacksmith! 100's here too, especilly downtown where I live with all the buildings and streets. . . hot hot hot! Just trying to remember the days in the country smithing outside in the winter. . . 30 + mph winds and negative temps on the mercury gauge. . . don't want to think what wind chill that was!

macbruce Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 It was 105 two days in a row in Denver and it was 109 elsewhere on the Colorado plains. Records are being broken on a weekly basis seems like.....Could it be global.....better not, EVERYTHING is politicised nowadays....... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
