damn slackers

Local place near me has some beginner blacksmith classes. I went last night and made a pair of bottle openers from 2 railroad spikes. Had a blast. The class was super cool. View attachment 360857 View attachment 360856

Pretty cool John. I did a bit of forging in high school metal shop. I'd like to do more of it.

More like slacksmithing for you guys and you’re not beginners. You’re pros

Evening you arty-craftsy mutterfuggers!
I'm embarrassed.
All I did was screw some 1 x 6s in between some studs to make shelves to move some of my chit up and off the work table.
Ed, looks damn good.
John boy, I always wanted to do blacksmith work, just never found the time. Looks good!

Ever since forged in fire show came out always wanted to take blacksmithing up. “This will kill”

dang anvils are expensive I found out too

Very expensive if the person selling knows what they have

Skinny jean wearing hipster, his jeans were the same color as the wheels on his truck. SMH he also had a man bun.

I'll never understand it.

Sup knuckleheads?

Made a thing for my wife wif the ol MS180.
Outside was punky so I scraped it off, measured it out kinda and hacked away.

Need to clean it up with the Sawzall and jigsaw, hit it with the belt sander and dump a bunch of Thompsons water seal on it.
She's going to put it on the side of the driveway and put solar lights in it I guess.

I figured out a bunch along the way so plan to make another much nicer one soon.

Well. You made a damn mess in the garage.

You ain't supposed to understand it.

Not far at all, might have to check that out sometime.

I hate to be the old man yelling at clouds but I'm really tired of seeing stupid ass lift kits and overpriced trashy garbage wheels. Grandpa trucks rule.

Which one of you slackers is going to be the one to hot up her 881?

Is that a euphemism?
If so, keen.

 

[Hundred Acre Wood]

It could be? She says it's got a big ass and could be used for bikinis and chainsaws.

Here's the excerpt about hotting it up. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LhgNca0wrBA?start=175&end=222

On the serious side, it's a "paid promotion" so I wonder if Stihl is looking for ideas on how to hotrod the 881?

Edit: I'm thinking a future 882 along the lines of what the 462 was to the 461.

You ain't supposed to understand it.

I'm probably better off.

What a day. The boys had a blast riding snowmobiles to and from Nana and Papa’s house this afternoon. About 45 min trip one way. Our oldest (6yrs) was giggling under his helmet the whole time. This never gets old! I’m glad we enjoy this as a family.

Very old ones Adam. They are the straight frame non articulating style loaders. The wheels steered not the frames. Interesting early generations for sure.
