It's not every day you can convince some hot chick to come into your shop and forge out a twist damascus billet.



So... when you do, you have to capture it on film.



Yesterday was a day to do nothing but not work at work, and not work on orders. Kind of a break from it all



I brought Kelsey into the shop and we welded up a 160 layer billet of 1084/15N20. She is one of those girls that LOVES metal work and instead of thinking, "Ewe, this guys makes knives! "



She thought it was completely cool. The girl even liked me smelling like working with hot metal... Seems like a keeper

Nick said "seems like a keeper"

Robert says "seems like a keeper??"
"SEEMS LIKE A KEEPER??"
I'd say there's no "SEEMING" to it! She is a keeper Nick!
There are a lot of things a guy can do with a girl, that begins with a "f"
Let's see, there's "Frolicking" and Fighting, and Funning around, and, well, the list can go on and on. But Forging? Now that would be the ultimate! My wife likes the end product (usually), and will have nothing to do with the start, interium, or finish of a project. If your "Seems like a keeper" doesn't work out there Nick, send her to Texas! I have a spot in my shop for her !!
 
Thats a rare find Nick:thumbup: dont let one like that slip away.
I guess things are different when your married,my shop is the last place i want my wife.
Just dont try any funny stuff naked in the shop you could burn your pee pee :eek: :D
 
For a girl it's just like making a flaky pastry such as the Italians call 'mille foglie' [ a thousand leaves] !!! A mere girl ? Girls aren't as mere as they used to be.
 
These guys are to afraid to say what they really think, but I don't care.

First throught was, if she liked you she must have a screw lose, second throught was if she likes you and wants to get into knife making she has to have a screw lose. :D
You probably smelling like hot metal is an improvement, covers up that sh** smell. :D :D

Now aren't you glad you came back for a visit. :D :D :D

HAHAHA!, LMAO... Bill, you nailed it right on the proverbial head! :D

I'll post a pic of the blade she got forged (okay, so it was mostly her watching, but I'll give her credit anyway) and the damascus too... :cool: :D
 
Yeah, yadda, yadda - now to the crucial questions my friend. What kind of boat does she have, what kind of pickup does she drive, does she have a REALLY good paying job, does she bring you a cold brew when you are hot and sweating?

good to see you have a day or two off my friend and spending some of the time in a constructive manner (grin). Come visit when you have some time and play with the new beater.
 
I love to see ladies in the shop. Not only does it change the usual topics of conversation, but men hesitate to spit when there is a female around, this makes for a tidier workplace, unless she happens to chew. That may be regional. Fred:jerkit:
 
Nick, I hate to sound like some run-of-the-mill cheeky voyeur, but......can I come over and just watch? I promise I'll just sit in a corner and be quiet:D ......
