Sounds like a good time with some good folks. Wish I could come.

It's a big part of why I travel to the other side of the world.

That, and of course alcohol, burgers, bacon breakfast, TC's cooking and general hanging out with good friends.

are we going to need grinders? I can bring mine that is 220 but I can make it 110. Not the fanciest but it would work. I have plenty of 72" belts to bring.

Randy I see you lurking!

How many anvils can't you fit in that Caddy?

I am hoping to do some hands on work learning about grinding and getting some base knowledge of metallurgy and forging. So I am really hoping that there will be grinders there.

There will be a grinder or two or three. I was just asking if we needed one more.

I have found that these meets are not a pre planned lesson plan and they rely on the learner to bring up questions and what they want.

I would like someone to bring a piece of bone and demo what they do to carve and or scrimshaw.....

We always need more grinders. It's just a matter of placement and power. I believe 220 outlets are limited so 110 would be better. If we could rig up a large hamster wheel, that might help too.

In Texas wouldn't Armadillos be more available than Hamsters?

We may need a higher gear ratio then.............

I will be bringing my high speed hogging grinder that we keep over by the forging area, hammers, some cold chisels (Randy and I had talked about another project), some extra safety glasses, and some ear plugs. I have yet to repair my forge gas line on my big forge, but hope to get to it and bring it to the meet as well.

My grinder is coming.

Excellent. I know a guy that knows a guy. I will get that figured out.
