I moved off my farm into a small town about a month ago so I'm setting up a new shop. I have a small open shed in back of the garage where I was going to set up my old smithy. I went out there this morning to start putting it together and boy did I get a surprise.
Just about everything easily picked up was gone. My welding table, 2 metal stands, belt grinder, tongs, hammers, My ANVIL, all the scrap metal including the metal I bought to build my power hammer and a few other things gone.
The law just left. They said it was probably was stolen by some one planning to sell it for scrap. I called the local scrap yard and they said they will watch for the stuff.
Well I guess the open shed was a bad idea. I will be closing it in and putting a big pad lock on the door.They missed a couple tongs and 1 hammer and I have an old RR anvil so I guess I'm still in business. Kind of like starting all over again.
Well I've complained enough...sorry about dumping my problem on you all. Just needed to let off a little steam. Nice way to start the new year.
Wishing all the Knife Dogs a very productive new year.
