Frosty Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 it's Billy, Sling Blade, Bones. It does have a ring to it doesn't it? Are you going to serrate the edges? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shainarue Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I believe Billy is referring to Carl, the main character in the movie Sling blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Ah, I haven't seen it since it first hit cable. Yeah, that long ago back in the cable days! Might look at your post Shaina, I think your autocorrect is messng with you. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBones Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 That movie came out in '96. Great cast Billy Bob Thorton, Dwight Yoakem, Robert Duvall, John Ritter. Just to name a few. A shop i used to work in we would find ways of getting a quote from that movie in anytime we could, car wont start "Aint got no gas in it" want some lunch "I'd take one of those little ol' chicken legs". Forrest Gump was another one we quoted a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shainarue Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Thanks Frosty! I changed it. I haven't watched the movie in over two decades but it was a favorite of my ex and we watched it more times than I can count. We quoted lots of various movie lines for various daily stuff, or sometimes just to make each other laugh. Sling blade and Gump sure had lots of good stuff. So did Kalifornia.

TommyVee Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Sling Blade is also one of my favorites, and "I'm thinkin' I should save some of these fries for later" is my standard answer to comments that I appear lost in thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBones Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 It drives my wife crazy when i do movie quotes, so of course i do it all the time. Made me this here sign bracket to hang from my shop. My old sign was just to big and bulky, i will keep it put up somewhere my the new one is much lighter. Just a piece of wood painted green with a black anvil in the middle is what will be on the sign itself. This hanger went a bit wonky so i will have to take it off and straighten it out.

Frosty Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 "Woof woof woof, That' my dog imitation." If someone looks at the wonky spot be sure to tell them, "It's NOT a tumor!" Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les L Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Great work Billy and Goods I completed an order for two tomahawks this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goods Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Nice work Les. The blacksmith’s knife from one of your previous posts inspired me to try wet forming the sheath on the left. It came out ok, but I should’ve had at least another 1/2” of leather above the finger curl. Either way you got me to learn something new! Keep it fun, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Thanks Goods, seeing the work posted on IFI is what has given me inspiration and ideas for projects and I have used them to learn new techniques, including what adjustments I need to improve the project the next time I do it. I’m glad one of my projects inspired someone to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Worked on a few different things, including solving a technical problem bending 1/2” x 2-1/4” flat bar for the railing project (the secret is spot-heating with the oxypropane torch just enough to get it sufficiently malleable to bend in the Hossfeld): Also finished up a couple of yarn bowls for Lisa’s shop, including one with a chased dragon head design: Not shown is a modification I made to my post vise stand, torching about 1-1/2” out of the vertical I-beam, welding the top back down in a slightly better alignment, and relieving the spot where the vise attaches to its mounting bracket. This will make it MUCH easier to switch back and forth between using the stand for the vise and using it as a base for the Hossfeld. Also, I had a bit of a brainwave when I realized that instead of making the fancy bracket I’d been thinking about for mounting my bench shear on my striking anvil, I could just clamp it on the vise. Sometimes the best answer is the simple one that’s been staring you in the face. In all, a productive few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Needing a small bending fork, I bent some round bar back in itself, bent down the short end in the middle, welded it up, and cut off the tip of the loop. Quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think I mentioned a few weeks ago remounting my belt grinder on a new stand. It turns out that the new arrangement makes it harder to reach the foot peg for changing the belts, so I added a simple foot pedal that makes things much easier. Inverted class II levers for the win! I also started repairing my horizontal bandsaw, as detailed (and with advice solicited) HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J.Lampert Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Billy I prefer coral mushrooms fried in butter with a little salt and butter, perfect as a side for grouse or ptarmigan strips. Picked fresh off the mountain is the best. my father enjoys morels but I haven't acquired a taste for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
