I just got an e-mail from Stabber (Ricky) that Indian George (George Rebello) recently died. IG was quite active here several years ago and hosted the "Meet Wayne Coe Hammer-in" at his home in New Bedford, Mas. He was a great guy and a real dog lover. He has several knives shown in the...

I hope to get a new computer this weekend. Maybe that will fix my problems. I have gotten several PMs and have answered them but my answers do not show up in my sent file, therefore I don't know that the message was actually sent. If you have sent me a PM and have not recieved a response, I...

I know that this has been mentioned on other threads previously. I want to try to really bring it home. These articles were published in Spring 2005 issue of ABANA's publication, "The Hammer's Blow". The first is by a friend my mine and was gleaned from The Forge, ABANA's forum. "We have...

In this thread I said: " You can keep in mind that round stock has 20% less volume than square. So if you square 1" of 1 1/4 round you should get 1" square 1" long. Then if you draw that out to 3/4" square it should be 1 1/4" long. Of course you are not going to start forging with such small...

I recieved this e-mail this morning. I too have been asked these questions at VA clinics. It very well may get you reported regarding carrying knives. Maybe neither, it might just get you on a watch list or no-fly list. I am not posting this as a political statement and hope that no one...

For all of you who have wondered or had the question asked and did not know the answer I was able to obtain the use of a tachometer to measure belt speed in feet per minute. I have two Moe's grinders in my shop at the present time. Both use 1750 rpm motors with 4" drive wheels. Each has...

Last week I spent over an hour looking for a good poem to post. I had just about decided that it was not as easy as I had originally thought to finde approprate poems, then this e-mail came in this morning. I hope that you all will accept this as this week's offering. A drunk man in an...

While I was at Fred Rowe's house back in May, we were discussing grinding various materials. I commented, "NEVER, EVER GRIND STEEL AND ALUMINUM ON THE SAME MACHINE OR USE THE SAME DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM". This also applies to wood or other handle material. Steel filings and Aluminum filings...

I have not looked at this group in a long time. I guess that I had thought that when someone joined it would show up as a PM or something. You might want to click on the group tools and adjust the notifications to "daily e-mail." I think to send a message to all members of the group you go to...

Story With a Moral Waddie Mitchell Now I know there's things worse that make cowpunchers curse, And I reckon it's happened to us all. Though it's years since, you bet, when I think of it yet, It still makes my old innards crawl. I was makin' a ride to bring in one hide That hadn't showed up in...

I don't agree with all of this, like we have Morgan Horses. ADVICE FROM DADI thought about it careful like and it seems quite plain to me. even a lousy mug of coffee beats any old cup of tea. With a hunk of any beefsteak the same logic will hold true, far surpasses any soy specimen they...

I got this and thought that you all would appreciate it, especially Wayne Jarrett.
