metalmangeler Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I buy nice straight smooth bars and when I am done they are not that way any more. Some people like what I have done to the bars they help pay my bills, and also for the next nice bars. Also I would rather understate than over state.

Dallas de Marr Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well, those of you who know me know that my real name is Dallas de Marr. However, I do wish to change my first name to Vladimir-- not to be cool or anything, but I just 'feel' like a Vladimir, if that makes any sense. I am just waiting on the extra money to do so. All of the people who know me online know me as Vlad, unless I've spoken to them in person (or they insist on calling me by the name they see on my WRABA ID card, Richard! ). Marenus is actually the first name of a Hero from a fictional Sci-fi universe, and it sounded good with Vladimir. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well, If you look at my picture, you'll see that I'm NOT very "Curly". I picked up that part of the name a long time ago, when I first started buckskinning. The George part I've had for 57 years, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1860cooper Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 1860cooper is unique to me to this forum, since my normal screen name has no relevance to blacksmithing. I wanted my emphasis right out in front because I am finding getting into 19th century coopering so pathetically difficult (most coopers are either modern, or 18th century). I don't mind people knowing I am Jonathan Devine. It's just that the convention with screen names is that you find your unique name, because there are lots of people out there with the same real name as me. In a sense a good screen name is a better identifier than your real name, at least on the internet. In switching back to real life that might be different.

facium Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Facium; In latin it usualy means to build or to make. It is is the latin root word for fabrication. I came across the quote "Aut invenium, aut facium" while reading a military history of the officer that gave the order to shoot, when Stonewall Jackson was killed (accidently) by his own men. I do not remember the officer or the military institute he attended, but the institues motto "Aut invenium, aut facium" (I will find a way or make one) I have made my own. It has has been a constant reminder that we can only "find a way" when we look, and we can only "make a way" when we work. My real name is, Michael A.
