I should of put some relish on the angle grinder. It would of cauterized your wound, then you wouldn't have ended in the ER, Right Scar. HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!
Ya think? My guess is that HT relish would disolve the grinder before it cauterized his wound.
Yep on it being too miserable to be outside pounding on steel, IG!
You folks got hammered, too.
We had Christmas here yesteday for the kids and grandkids that live close to here. Most of them will be in Florida during regular Christmas.
One of my customers got his shorthairs burned on some cheaper than cheap "stabilized wood" he bought on ebay. He wanted to order his own handle wood without knowing beans about wood and very little about real stabilizing. I'm making a Tanto for him and had it all figured out with mammoth ivory when he ran across the "great deal" on some wood.
That's one of the reasons we know how and where to shop for good material and know about what we have to pay for it. We also know whom to trust for great deals when they pop up.
A few years ago I bought some large rough stock over the net of what was to be Osage burl, considered burl by the seller. when I got it worked up at home, there was little burl and some great grained wood with a lot of plain Jane stuff. I came out OK but would have been screwed of I didn't take my time and being careful of how I worked up the wood. Actual burl was enough for two knives.
When I finally got the wood stabilized, I had a pretty hefty investment involved in what was a "great bargain".
I was gonna go snipe some treerats this weekend, but am running out of weekend.
You rascals stay warm and comfy!
