John Martin Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Another question do any of you have a little sign above your smithy? What would be a goo motto or saying to have above a smithy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habu68 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have reviewed about 200 early pictures of Smithies and found most had some form of "NO CREDIT" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian C. Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have several, my two favorites: "I will not work on, with or for jackasses". That is also on my card. "Shop Rates-$25 per hr $50 per hr if you worked on it first. $100 per hr if you want to help." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 'Sometimes I do this for the MONEY, sometimes I do it for the GLAMOUR, sometimes when I get real ****** off I just grab a BIGGER hammer'. Thats framed and hung up in the forge I work at now, usually raises a smile. We also have 'PLEASE don't ask for credit, we're running out of room to hide the bodies'. My boss has a great sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 In the forge I also have a sign showing Bender from Futurerama that says Work while Bent; A Sober Robot Can't do his Job, He depends on your Beer---I also tell folks that if they are *not* a robot they need to save the beer for afterwards!

irnsrgn Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 In through this door comes some of the most mangled metal ever seen. Out through this door go miracles of restoration and excellent Craftmanship. Through this door some fly who refuse payment. Poor Planning on your Part, Does not constitute an Emergency Here. I cannot give you the formula for Success, But I can give you the formula for Failure, Try to please Everyone. Leave it and we will Fix it. Watch and we will Fix it and add 20%, Help and we will Fix it and add 50%, Tell us how to Fix it and we add double the price, and offer no warranty that it will be done right.

Mende Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 It's said that only two blacksmiths ever ended up in hell ...one worked on credit . .one beat his iron while cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Seen in some of my friends' shops: I made an agreement with the Bank: I won't loan money or give credit And they won't do Blacksmithing. . Of course you wanted it yesterday, If you wanted it today, you'd ask for it tomorrow. . We have done so much for so long with so little, we are now able to fix anything with nothing. . Here, the impossible is easy. Lately though, I've been having trougle with miracles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
