Scott NC Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I cast this with some left over brass in the pot. I made it with lost foam. Soon I hope to learn lost wax, which is probably a better method. It's a lot of fun to pull a casting out of the sand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, that is a weighty question - I am fishing for the bone of contention that is now pounding my subconscious, neither choice more preponderous than the other - - Nodebt - good looking piece by any scale.

Frosty Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Boy, it really takes real spine to insert your usual skullduggery into a new fellow's thread! Sorry Nodebt, we can't help ourselves, we have almost no impulse control. Please feel free to reel us in or just call Fin! Frosty The Lucky.

Scott NC Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Well, i have to say thanks for all the nice comments... but i have to admit I was worried that you all might think there was something a little fishy with me. 6 hours ago, Anachronist58 said: Nice. What is his weight? Robert Taylor It weighs 186 lbs but the real story behind it is the spanish gallion cannon brass i got the material froom. 5 hours ago, Frosty said: Boy, it really takes real spine to insert your usual skullduggery into a new fellow's thread! Sorry Nodebt, we can't help ourselves, we have almost no impulse control. Please feel free to reel us in or just call Fin! Frosty The Lucky. Frosty, its all good, sometimes I think my humor gets out of control and i HAVE to hold myself in check. Skulldugery is much fun. I wanted to title my Introduction forum thread thing "Look what the cat dragged in" but i erred on the conservative side. Thanks Das, John n JHCC.

Scott NC Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Robert, sorry I got carried away with my fish story, its pretty small and will fit in the palm of your hand. Im using a buffing wheel oone tonight and im only one grit away from a mirror polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That is a FANTASTIC story! I used to tell my granddaughter that I operated a back hoe on the moon. She is less gullible than I. Here in Prison, any humor is appreciated. Pretty snazzy fish on your wall there, by the way. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Appreciates skullduggery, isn't above a little exaggeration and has a creepy AVATAR. You are going to fit right in here. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hey, what's so creepy about my avatar? That humor only stretches so far you know... Anachronist 58, are you allowed vistors? Ill throw my fish in a bag and come chat with you. Does any body notice anythang structurally wrong with that fish on my wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Frosty lol about the avatore of course but if you like creepy wait till i get done with my scarecrow..... To promote humour and self immolation i shall soon post a photo of a fixture I just finished for attaching legs to some flower planting containers we sell at farm market... I have outdid myself.

Nodebt, I must confess to you that the Prison thing is hyperbole, allegory, for the night shift I was pulling at the aerospace plant. No cakewalk for a 58 year old who has been put away wet. It does not bother me that your beautiful fish has two spines - in fact, it is so appealing to the eye, for me, at least, that it seems perfectly natural.

Scott NC Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I understand about the night shift Robert. At risk of flying off topic, Ill tell you about my shift. I work in an old "food" processing plant and we rotate through all three shifts on a weekly basis with a day off in between each week and a five day break after we have gone through all three. Confused? It gets even wierder with a couple of 8 hour turn arounds tossed in there lol haha. Helps Im younger than you. Not by much though. Scott That fish has a lot of issues, I was thinking about the ribs curved backwards . Ps. That visiting you thing was just bravado. Probably....

Whatever with the fish - it is a delight to look upon. Visit any time. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
