Greetings All .

       I’m sure that we all have a few cool pictures or signs in our shops. Some of my best. 

 

    Forge on and make beautiful things 

Jim

Good ones. My shop is far from setup as I'd like but here are a few that have hung out a few years.

 I will say the hourly rates are on the light side. :rolleyes: should be doubled.  image.jpg.0510f12760729cbc54523333dc3ade66.jpg

Its not a sign but a poster wifey gave to me when I was between jobs. Its been hanging on the walk in door to my garage/shop since 1998. Still looking for that job :-)

I'm working on finding that job. I can stare out a window by only moments at a time between working. And I prefer beer....

Opening Times

Open weekdays when I get round to it,

possibly about 9 or 10,

 may be earlier, sometimes later, or not at all.

 

I close about 5 or 6 or when the fancy takes me

Sometimes earlier and sometimes later

 

When I’m not here I’m somewhere else,

but when I am here

I’d sometime rather not be

 

Recently I’ve been here a lot of the time,

except when I’m somewhere else,

but I should be here then too!

 

YOU COULD CHECK FIRST BY MOBILE PHONE IF I HAD ONE WITH ME

Looked all over my little corner of the world..... and I don't have any signs.  I thought I'd have one or two, but the only thing that qualifies is my little sticker I made.  It's card stock stamped with the shop name, and I have three of them glued to various things around the shop.

I really need to get some cool signage up!

Well Lou, your wife either just restricted you from using the shop (just joking :D I couldn't resist) or she thinks highly of you!

And I don't have any signs in my shop, but I saw one in a rental store one time I thought was funny - "When I die, I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep just like my Grampa did.
Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car."

He could bounce back and forth between the house and the shop!

I used to have a poster of a black and white armour but the wind destroyed it. Now the only sign I have is a tin Bender "A sober robot can't do his job, he relies on your beer!  Work while Bent."

most of this stuff is printed out and hung on the sheet metal walls with magnets, along with an ever changing collection of printouts of things I am making or aspire to make, or  am inspired to try to make. 18_guerin.thumb.jpg.55c4a678f1fd109a650bf2c9ef5980cb.jpg

I'm up in Rochester NY area for Thanksgiving weekend with my loves family. Not much play time. But Elizabeths father took me to check out a local metal artists place and this was on the wall of his shop. 

I like it. 

Also got some cool ideas from what he had hanging around. Unfortunately he was busy and I didn't get to talk with him other than an introduction.

Ha!  What a small world.  Gail and Mike, John's family, are good friends and live right across the way.  Don't get to see them much anymore, but they're good people.

Awesome Vaughn. Wish I'd have had more chance to talk with him but it didn't happen. (This trip). 

Anyone on the way back to PA on the way?. I do have a full small car and infant to get home but might be able to stop by. 

Oh do I miss my forge. Been 4 days now.
