October 7, 201312 yr I ran across this picture on FB today and had to laugh for the forge was just like mine and I almost felt the way "Otto the domesticated cephalopod" is going this past weekend doing a demo at a local Ren faire. I met the artist earlier this year at a Steampunk convention in San Diego and really took a liking to him. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX My forge for comparison. From this weekend at the Hanford Renaissance of Kings in CA. Off site advert removed.
October 7, 201312 yr Greetings Jake, Fun stuff... Sometimes I wish I had eight hands.... But the brain could not keep up... LOL Thanx Forge on and make beautiful things Jim
October 8, 201312 yr I think that was an OOPS wrong hammer LOL --- Yea I got 6 claw hammers in the smith hammer rack to :( carpenter is just another hat I wear :rolleyes: like the idea of 8 hands doing stuff just can see how to do that DARN ! man that could improve shop time !! :)
October 8, 201312 yr I would settle for just ONE more hand. More than that would probably make it easier to hurt myself. The cartoon made me laugh out loud. Just came in from a full day at the forge and I was glad for the laugh. Dave
October 8, 201312 yr Interestingly enough they have recently discovered that octopi have a brain in each tentacle! I think of them as sort of sub-main brains, like a sub-main electrical box. Anyhow that solves the problem of directing so many appendages pretty neatly!
October 8, 201312 yr The octopus must have gotten confused. What's he doing with a claw hammer? :o He's a woodworker ... on the side. Interestingly enough they have recently discovered that octopi have a brain in each tentacle! I think of them as sort of sub-main brains, like a sub-main electrical box. Anyhow that solves the problem of directing so many appendages pretty neatly! No central brain to coordinate? What if 2 arms go for the same prey?
October 9, 201312 yr Author Turns out I didn't have the full picture when I posted this day before yesterday. Here's the complete picture now.
October 9, 201312 yr I like it, I'd have my own helper, striker, fire tender, burn salver and pick my nose all at once. Frosty The Lucky.
