Ratel10mm Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Ian, I'm pretty sure there were a couple of smaller ones out in the paddock somewhere. Stacked up on a big beast iirc. I'm looking forward to this year's 'treasure hunt' as I hear Moony's got some serious new toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi all Just spent the weekend with Glenn, cleaned up a bit, fixed the other forge up (made it a bit deeper, always niggled me that, too close to the tuyere) went and picked up some more stuff from Nowra, did some work on the 10 man forge, played with the new press for a little while, drunk some beer, talked a lot of rubbish. Did'nt get to fix up the thunderbox, Glenn had already finished the tin on the walls, the APC did'nt need the oil changing, and we mucked around with the kids with some hot steel (my eldest daughter wanted to learn how to make a 4 leaf clover) talk about a tall order for her 1st job. The end of the month is fast approaching. Oh yeh we tried to round up some of them dunny budgies, talk about herding cats! What a futile job that turned out to be.

forgemaster Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 18 More sleeps to go Jocko, you really need to get out more. Moonys birthday today, 25 and never been kissed (if you believe that you'll believe anything) (that he's never been kissed, he really is only 25, he's just had a really hard life so far) If anyone has a special request for steel let me know and I'll see what I can bring. (and i don't want a request like "oh phil could you bring 24 lenghts of angle iron for me to make a new tool rack, you can buy that yourself. I'm talking alloy steel or steel for tools.
