Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hit sixty-eight yesterday. Had my annual physical ~ all the numbers are between the goal posts. Looks like I'll be around a while. Best part, though, was gifts from the Kid - a darned good cee-gar, and he found and renovated a "new" ancient post vise for me! Been Jonesin' for one for years!! At 35 lbs, it's sorta petite, but just fine for the hobby 'smithing I do. Date stamped 1900 ~ only 119 years old, and prolly has more life left in it than I do!

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks, All! Fun stuff! J-Bar, "Forged in Fire" ain't in my future ~ the only thing I'll ever have to do with that stuff is to admire those with the skills and talent I don't have. But I do enjoy it! Been 'way too hot to stand over a forge for a few months now; looking forward to cooler Fall weather. Next thing I need to do is to build a propane forge. Coal is darned hard to come by in these parts; local supplier hasn't had any for months. And it's pricey when you can find it - a buck a pound for the "economy sized" fifty lb bag!
