September 25, 20223 yr Just 3 months or 90 days to get ready. What are you planning to make for Christmas 2022 ?
September 25, 20223 yr I always like seeing your reminders Glenn, thank you, and I should start soon on making the gifts I was planning for last year. I was thinking of making a bottle opener or corkscrew for everyone depending on what they like to drink. But I'll have to try making a corkscrew again, the last one failed miserably. ~Jobtiel
September 25, 20223 yr But Glenn, don't skip halloween or thanksgiving. Good reminder tho. I appreciate the countdowns letting us know we have less time then we thought. I am out of All my christmas stock so I have a lot to make in that category. Also family gifts are in order. Far as stock goes the knowns are horseshoe christmas trees, nutty snowmen, and I have a large bicycle snowman. I have some new ideas as well. Some nut and nail reindeer, rebar christmas trees and other ideas.
September 25, 20223 yr I’m gonna be working on sleigh bells primarily for Christmas this year, but I’m gonna try some different icicles then I’ll did last year, an my regular split crosses,

Out of my eveningschool no spare time to see my workshop, let alone to forge. But please share, i like to be inspired.
September 28, 20223 yr No; but it works better in the forge than galvanized barb wire! I just bought my weight in coal at Quad-State to be ready for Christmas!

September 28, 20223 yr They have started the Christmas displays at the local Wally World; I'm hoping for Zombies!
September 28, 20223 yr Same here, there were Christmas in July sales too. On the other hand I won't have take the Christmas lights down. Frosty The Lucky.
September 29, 20223 yr Yeah they had a neat Halloween setup the last few weeks at the Wally World here an then last weekend I walked in an they had started taking it down and half the store was setup with Christmas stuff, 17 hours ago, M.J.Lampert said: had to be different and set it back a month and a half We like to space our holidays out so our turkeys have time to grow bigger!

September 30, 20223 yr If you want Halloween stuff you can still find it at The Home Depot though Fred Meyer had some cool little dog skeletons on the close out table. Uh, Billy it look like you're wearing part of your last turkey. Frosty The Lucky.
September 30, 20223 yr What's my point? You LOOK like you are WEARING PART of your LAST TURKEY. I didn't say there was anything wrong or even weird about it, in fact your AVATAR has to be the happiest looking one I know of. I like it a lot better than your last one and I liked that one a lot. Frosty The Lucky.
September 30, 20223 yr Okay I’ll admit it does kinda look like a turkeys fan, lol I remember seeing a old picture onetime, showing how a North American tribe baited an trapped birds for their feathers, I think old headdress were made from eagle an hawk feathers, but I don’t remember, I would imagine they probably also liked the colorful blue, red an yellow feathers from smaller birds to but i dunno for sure
September 30, 20223 yr I just did a web search and turkey images are different colors. The image search seems to show immature Bald and immature Golden eagles can have black tipped white tail feathers. My memories of ceremonial head dresses are so contaminated by TV and movie westerns I wouldn't bet on them at all. The one pow wow I attended (sort of) had head dresses with so many different layers of feathers I don't know if I could pick one as dominant. So heck, I guess I don't know what a head dress should look like, what nation or tribe, ceremony, era or . . . ? Maybe it's just an attractive caricature. Frosty The Lucky.
