Hopefully there will be "less" of me there!

Good stuff! Thanks!

A special thanks to Tim (32T) for the steel, it's ready for scales. I have them on order, going with natural camel bone.

You are the man!:beer1::chapeau:bow

I missed Howards lecture on the science behind heat treatment, really wish i could have heard that.

Worked right out of the box for me...Some great pics. Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff!

Then there was "ROOM 27". Some know about it, some dont.

Hang on to the two folders until next time. My wife is gonna skin me. I will check my hammers. I did bring a couple of vaugn ball pein hammers...one was for you.

Safe travels you two.

yes, his is the third pic.

Bruno did in fact make a blade while here, but not to completion. It's in one of my pics I posted. He is a true craftsman & I learned a lot from him.

Lots of pics being taken, will be after i get home before i can post any. No wi fi. Randy has really been taking a lot of pics.

Called to confirm reservations. Poor lady, she says in her accented (Indian I would guess) voice: "What the heck is going on?" I do my best to explain...poor thing is more confused than before. ...

Looking into changing my name here on srp, this re-spurred my thoughts & am looking into it now.

Might have to get some name tags...

I think Randy Tuttle is keeping the headcount/cat-herding. Send him a pm, heck, maybe he will make it public...I don't care.

I am bringing a first aid kit to donate to Charlie's shop. Same ones we have on locomotives. Handy to have around.

I checked the other day and i had over a dozen tubes of super glue go bad. ...

YES they will! I don't grind with gloves and I slipped one day and ground off the tip of my index finger from just a quick "jab" on my 4x36 belt grinder. That one was a tender one to heal up as it...

Order a few ceramic 2x72 belts...I'll have a stick of O-1 you are welcome to a piece or two out of

My main grinder is 220V with a vfd & all Charlie has is 120v plugs about the shop.

How many grinders do you guys think we should have available? Mine (the one I could bring) is just an 8" wheel...

Just picked this up from the wonderful old man I go to church with. I only plugged it in to make sure it works. It weighs a TON! I'll bring it along so we can have more than just Charlie's...
