Glenn Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Blacksmithing is hot, heavy, sharp, and dangerous. YOU MUST learn how to avoid being injured or killed in order to succeed. That is why we push safety. We all have scars from the lessons we learned the hard way. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 My rule that when I am done with a thing I was given for free I give it away with the instruction that the next person do the same. Steel it is one of the most if not the most recycled metal in the world. The same goes for good will and love to and from the pro and hobby smiths in the world.

Glenn Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 There was a superstition amongst old English carpenters (18th and 19th centuries). If a tool was left unused for a year, after that year the first time it was used it would seek blood. Tools like to be used.

rthibeau Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 well, that explains a lot in my shop....too many hammers to use all in one year. Not to mention all them other things taking up space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn I had an employee that tried repeatedly to dial 911 for a friend who had collapsed and he dialed 457-911 and it wouldn't go through, 457 is our towns code over and over he dialed.

Glenn Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Always put your keys in only one place, back left pocket for instance, or in the kitchen junk drawer when you get to the house. I tied a short piece of brightly colored survey flagging to the key ring so it could be easily seen. When the vehicle goes in for repair I tie 18 to 20 inches of the brightly colored survey flagging to the key ring with the make and model of the car written on the flagging. They have not lost me car yet. (grin) Keep a spare key in your wallet. Do not ask how I know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
