AARC,

At least here your opinions as to value of items are appreciated. My expertize in the antique area is pretty much limited to collector coins and stamps.

Still a good deal.

Just for decorative purposes its worth twice that.

You don't see many in that trade anymore. I think a person could do well .

Tom is this for a weapon?

NOPE! I just want to modify my banana



LOL

Just kidding Yes rook, I want a cheap one for my air rifle to shoot on 100 Meters. I use at the moment a Caldwell rifle rest but it makes no fun to carry that heavy thing around...

Tom,

Pretty soon your neighbors will see you roaming around town in a loin cloth.....

CORRECT! But forget this skirt! I don´t wear such things.... I love it when air blows around my

Back to the roots

Tom,

The other plus is good quality craftsman work done locally doesn't get exported overseas. gold boy could hand craft knives, axes, etc and sell them locally to people he knows or at craft fairs.

You would n´t do anything wrong with it! Just remember the Dave Canterbury video where he tell how important such skills are if the SHTF

And just think about how much money you can make with such Damascus blades!! If they are real good and with nice pattern, people pay crazy prices if you have a good name as a black smith!

I think it is a real good job. But the most important thing is, you have to love your job! Don´t forget that you have to do it the next 50 years!!

Correct! He also could forge good old 18th to 19th Century steel traps etc.! I guess all the preppers bought the market empty now

For real, there would be so much he can forge for people and he would n´t ever run out of food with this job!

Just remember, my very first real girlfriend was blacksmith. She had a good grip but that´s an other story

I should have answer rook that I need a bipod instead of this famous blue pills

anyone else love Rush?

 

[bill from lachine]

Tom,

Of course they're Canadian.... For a fairly small population we've produced more than our share of music industry heavy weights. The Band, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, The Guess Who, BTO, Rush, April Wine, Leonard Cohen, Bryan Adams, etc....plenty more also.

Tom,

Here's another blacksmith video about a guy in Germany....at 83 he probably has stronger arms than most men half his age.

I sure would've liked to have seen The Guess Who back in the day. Don't think they came south much. Maybe Atlanta or the larger cities. I may be wrong but I believe some members still tour.

Folks,

Here's Bryan Adams-Summer of '69.
