Blacksmithing tonight! [emoji1008][emoji91]
Started working on a soup ladle for the wife tonight. She’s been begging for one since I started smithing.

My pops working on a rams head. It’s going to be a drop lock for the gate we’re building.

As I suggested earlier in the thread… fekk the railroad. This is where it’s at. It’s like Skyrim Hearthfire IRL [emoji1]

How long have you been smithing?

Thanks guys!
Haha I agree! The railroad can fekk off!!

Been taking classes at Oaks Bottom Forge for the last 12 weeks. Pat is the owner and I met him at the ShipJohn grand opening after they moved into our building. Pat forges the knifes that mike puts leather on and sells on his site.

Here’s a recent snap of mine..

Blacksmithing?.. Forging?.. Can I interest you in my fine wares?..

Today was a long and epic day! Back story: I’ve been riding bikes with a group of about 10-15 close friends at the wee hours of the morning before work for the last couple years now. We call ourselves the 5am crew.

So, today 7 of us decided to drive out to sisters Oregon for a ride over McKenzie Pass before the US forest service opens it up to car traffic. We left Boring, Oregon at 0400 and drove over Mt. Hood to Sisters. From there we rode 30 miles over the pass to Belknap hotsprings where we soaked and caught some rays for about an hour. Then we rode 30 miles back to the trucks. The ride was full of amazing views and great times! Brutal climbing and high speeds made the day one to remember! The total elevation gain was 5,500 feet!
Here is a pic dump of the day….

Maybe not.... Tapatalk won’t let me upload right now... will try in the AM

Oh damn, @Brock that sounds like an epic ride.  Can't wait to see the pics.  I hope we don't have to wait until the next tapatalk update.  The app's been worse than usual, recently.

Not much happened over the weekend… kids were sick and the weather was bad so we hung out indoors for the most part...

Back at it on the project cutting 6-8 inch concrete for interior Gabion wall posts.

Took the wife out for dinner and a stroll through the Gardens at McMenamins Edgefield tonight. Great times, and we almost completed our Edgefield Page in our McMenamins passports, the spa was closed [emoji26]
