Daswulf Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Here's a video from a guy I watch on youtube that does metal detecting and other things. He visited a blacksmith and shows up his sculpture. I missed or didn't see where in PA. he is from (I'll have to dig deeper to find out) but I thought it was a really neat sculpture and thought I would share. I like the blacksmith theme and all the parts he added including making it movable. I don't have That many wrenches lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 He didn't mention that the Bible has two verses about beating your plowshares into swords and only one about beating your swords into plowshares. I has a Pastor once that drug out the Concordance and showed that to me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHC Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I’d rather just have a sword AND a plowshare. I guess the M16 and garden tiller qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Did he say it was a pull toy? My speaker on my phone is shot. If so I wish he would have pulled it around. I wonder if that flyball governor goes around. That is a cool sculpture and I'd like to meet him and see his wrench pile. Probably smaller than it was before Wrenchman! Thanks for posting it!

ThomasPowers Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The Pruning hooks into spears and vice versa, is the big one. Most peasant levees are armed with spears and not swords! (Cheap and fast to make, easier to train to use.) Yes he said it was a pull toy; but the weight would make it need a car or truck to pull it.

Daswulf Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Anyone notice the shape of that anvil? I think it is probably a real anvil since if he fabricated one it would probably look in better shape. That one looks like it were chocolate and got too close to a heat source above it. Man is it drooping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pruning hooks were used to pull dead branches off of trees, as were shepherds' crooks. Lease agreements often included the tenant's right to as much firewood as they could gather "by hook or by crook". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Common law on use rights for woods in medieval times as well. Note how that would tend to keep the forests cleared high enough for the nobles on horseback to travel through when hunting...(back in the day of shorter horses...)

Anachronist58 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 It just now played for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 It worked now. It was a black box earlier. Thanks. I tried to quote Das just now, but everytime I tried to delete the video out of the quote it just started the video playing over and over or wiped out the entire quote box. I've done it with pictures but this video won't go away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 I dont know about on the computer but on my phone I can select a section of text and just quote that without having to quote all then go back in and delete sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think my memory is fizzing out because I think somebody told me that on here before! Thanks, Aric. I was just going to ask you if you ever checked out TreasureNet.

Daswulf Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 I haven't but I did now. I don't get to get out often anymore but I really enjoy metal detecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 My metal detecting mainly involves walking into my shop, looking around, and saying, "Yup, there's metal in here." That, and searching for the occasional Blue Öyster Cult song on iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 That would be the eyeballing type of metal detecting. Can't say how many times I'm driving and when there is a property with lots of stuff (mainly scrap) I'm checking out what they have there (for fun) while I drive by. Or peeking at the side of the road for "drops". There are times I refind fun stuff in My shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
