Robert Yates Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The OL Tale is what you are doing when you bring in the New Year is what you will be doing for the rest of the year . I try not to spend money ! However , I try to collect / receive money (not from family) , be up and moving about, Not Smoking or Drinking for good Health reasons, and most of All be around my family & friends. Blessings, Best Regards & Happy New Year IFI Family Ret,Sgt. Yates & Family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Nothing forge related. I usually head into Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada for NYE, sometimes down on the Strip, sometimes with friends. I'd rather be around other people than home alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Trez Cole Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I set a goal for my work each year. Last year I was to demonstrate the elements and tools of the ABANA grill project to my Florida chapter of FABA. This year I will be working on filing and finish work in all my demonstrations.The goal is self improvement and to challenge every thing I create.

the iron dwarf Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 tonight instead of going out for a drink I will open up the forge and make something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 a cursory googling says that "ringing in the new year" was related to ringing bells at the passing of loved ones, in that the old year has passed and now onto the new one. so thats kinda like ringing the anvil for the passing of other smiths...sort of.. though i cant imagine anyone ringing their anvil 2014 times in the middle of the night!

Charles R. Stevens Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 No, 2,014 times is a bit exesive. 3 rings, break up the fire, take off your apron and crack open a beer. Hoist it high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 well we each made a small knife blade, not a very good one but the next will be better, started about midnight and had a very small drink, forged the blades, had some food and have just got home, it is now just after 2am so goodnight all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 My Dad made Hop John for NYE. I think that may be the only thing he liked from the South , hahaha! He was stationed at Charleston AFB from 59-65, and that is where I was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
