Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[r8shell]

Well, all I have is sugar peas which is a hybrid between snow peas and garden peas. I'll give it a try and see if they take ... is that how you plant them ?

Nice, Dan! We live near Lake Minnetonka — technically we’re on an island on Lake Minnetonka — and I‘m still fascinated by all the fish houses and cars and trucks out on the lake in winter.



That’ll work, although you might get a better yield with this method:

So that's why they call them snow peas!

I'm sorry, but every time I hear "Lake Minnetonka" I think of Prince.

Wishing the best of luck at the Doc's tomorrow Jack !!!




Went for a little walk this afternoon by the river where they put the huts for ice fishing. Temps were -10 C , ice "looked" solid however I did not see anyone fishing nor there were cars or trucks on the ice.
So I stayed safely on shore and snapped a couple pics from a distance

As John Facenda would say....the frozen Tundra....I'm shivering just thinking about it. But a beautiful set of photos none the less.

Thank you, Jack, for the kind compliment and the video. I've bookmarked it for viewing tomorrow as I am getting ready to head out the door now.



Thank you, Dennis! That horn you are rocking is something else, very nice!


Thought I would bring this lovely piece out, it's been awhile.

Yes, that lambfoot knife is a stunner and the pipe is very nice too.

The saga of my lambfoot knife from Sheffield continues. I won't bore you all with a re-cap but this knife is going in for some surgery. Hopefully Jeff Distin will be able to fix this thing to my liking. We need to fix the spring gaps and re-profile the blade. I wouldn't even consider it if it weren't for the fact that I was given a refund on the knife without having to return it. I returned it once, paid for shipping, and it was never picked up by the cutler so it got returned back to me. Long story short I think that the knife has potential and so I will take a swing at saving it.

@CelloDan - Really enjoy looking at your fine wintry images, Dan.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack.As for falling apart, I’m a big believer in the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

@mitch4ging Thank you Dennis. Forgive me for missing your post. Your Horn Lamb Foot is always a beauty no matter what the pose. Always great to hear from you.

Great photos, Dan! The river looks pretty wide there! Seems like you had about the same weather as we did today (well, yesterday now): sunny and cold.

So that's why they call them snow peas!

Makes sense, although in my mind, when I think of that “purify yourself” line, it’s usually being said by Dave-Chappelle-as-Prince.

Here’s some Lambsfoot content. (Don’t want to get in trouble for going too off-topic! ) Three Wright’s knives, three different swedges.

 

[Jack Black]

Good luck at the Doc's tomorrow.

Thanks a lot John, not much more than a routine doctor's appointment, but I had to wait 7 weeks for it I really need to find another practice, though our health service is falling apart at the moment

Wishing the best of luck at the Doc's tomorrow Jack !!!

Thanks Dan, your photos are a tonic my friend I didn't realise they had ice-fishing huts, but that makes a lot of sense

Hope you enjoy them Dylan, they're fairly lengthy, but I thought you might find them interesting That's a spectacular pile-side on your '19

The horn looks nice at least Bill I hope Jeff Distin can make a silk purse out of it. Not sure it deserves to have M. May's name on the tang, considering that the parts were made by Wright's, the design is arguably pinched, as is the bolster stamp, and another cutler is having to put right his bad workmanship

I had to look that up Harvey!

Thanks Barrett, though your first image is very funny Very interesting to see the difference in those swedges

Morning Guardians, miserable weather here, and I think we have more on the way I'm back from the docs, via the hospital (had to get some blood taken), and just having my morning coffee Back with my Hartshead Barlow have a good Friday folks, and I hope you have a great weekend ahead

Yikes! Good thing it was just a checkup and not anything serious. That's quite a wait.

It's a while since I went Willie, mainly because last time, I was waiting even longer Tragically, I have a friend whose son died waiting for a doctor's appointment Strangely, at the doctors this morning, there were only two other patients waiting to see someone. A frail old lady came in, and they had actually cancelled her appointment (as happened to me with my previous appointment) She had arrived by taxi, and it had taken all her money (she had a bus pass, but couldn't use it until later). Thankfully, another patient offered to give her a lift home

Good morning Guardians!!!!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!! Today I'm sharing my pocket with this Ebony WCLF!

My goodness, that's unacceptable, and horribly sad. Sorry to hear that.

Great Black Friday choice Ron

My goodness, that's unacceptable, and horribly sad. Sorry to hear that.

Thank you my friend, I wish it was just confined to the one practice

 

[Jack Black]

I just had a really nice lunchtime sandwich This isn't it, but it is a sandwich with a Lambsfoot!

Great Black Friday choice Ron

Thanks Jack! I thought it to be appropriate. Hope you have a great weekend my friend!

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack! I thought it to be appropriate. Hope you have a great weekend my friend!

Thanks Ron, I had been thinking about going over to York for the annual Viking Festival, but with flooding in York, and more rain forecast, I might have to have a re-think

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Guardians
I'm looking forward to the weekend. Both of my boys will be home for a visit.

Jack, I still haven't mailed it off yet. Ambivalent feelings about this knife. I have to agree with you about the tang stamp. One this is for sure though, I've learned a lesson from the whole experience that I won't soon forget.
