January 1, 201610 yr wish everyone the best, just got back from the shop after a bit of midnight forging 2 newbie friends made bottle openers minion made a toasting fork and we all had crumpets I did a little on some firedogs with my press and also tried a canister of old copper rivets, brass bits and stainless steel screws, will cut it tomorrow and see what it looks like inside
January 1, 201610 yr Happy new year, I am rare member of IFI, but i think i will stick to this forum in new year more. Who knows.
January 2, 201610 yr HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! I didn't do much yesterday but help Deb celebrate her Birthday. New Year's eve is always a double holiday for us. Today we're just messing around, I haven't gotten dirty, made anything, broke anything, heck I barely got dressed till after lunch. I'll have to go pick up something for dinner but I think I can handle that. All the best everybody. Frosty The Lucky.
January 2, 201610 yr nice big bowl of homemade black eyed peas and rice with a lot of bacon in it and the onions fried up in the bacon fat before going into the crock pot last night. Dark day but i did get out to use my postvise to remove more 20P nails from the hardwood blocks I have left from the load of dunnage wood my wife is burning in the woodstove. Pound them with a smithing hammer and then grab the block in the vise and use the crowbar to pull them. Good practice for smithing; now I just need a project for 10+ pounds of nails.
January 2, 201610 yr We left the nails in, then ran a big magnet through the ashes if we were going to use the ashes later. Had a fun NYE with friends in Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada. Here's to a great 2016
January 2, 201610 yr Well they sure stack better in the truck and at the house and in the woodstove without 3" of nails protruding down the side. Also my wife doesn't have to deal with the rusty nails as she is the stove user. Another gray day but it's supposed to clear up this afternoon and I hope to hike up to the valley rim.
January 2, 201610 yr Happy belated New Years. Had way too much fun in Pittsburgh for the celebration and spent the first of the year rehydrating and relaxing. Lol. Think I'm getting too old for that. Well it's back to work and I wish everyone a happy, healthy, rewarding new year.
