Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Prester John]

I think the end for the feeding tube will be mid May - end of May at the longest. I just gotta take it one day at a time.

Great news, Ed!

 

[herder]

While I love seeing (and owning) all the modern lambfoot models, my heart flutters a bit faster when shown the old fellows.
Cigarrodog, wonderful addition with that Joseph Rodgers.
Old Engineer, a fine classic Taylor.
Half/Stop, two great models with the Humphreys and Taylor.
Jack, The Unity is nice, but that William Rodgers is stunning.

Thank you very much!

H herder - Thank you kindly. Look at that Turner. Beauty.

 

[Pàdruig]

Good evening, folks. This blasted software is quite an irritation tonight. All caught up though, I hope everyone is well and had a pleasant holiday.

Winchester lever actions and Colt Single Action Army revolvers (.45 Colt calibre, of course) are the best! One of my all-time favourite movie scenes is John Wayne in True Grit riding across the field with the reins in his teeth, a Winchester in one hand (cocking it by twirling it after each shot) and a Colt in the other.

Great pics, Dylan. Thanks for showing that red Glennbad lambsfoot again. What a beauty!

Thank you, Vince. I love all those sentiments, I am in agreement.

What a great photo of your flock there. That must of taken you ages to line everything up like that.

Thank you, my friend! It wasn't too bad, my biggest concern was getting them all to fit...

Not only a fantastic flock, but a fantastic picture.
But I must know... how many fell off their perch?

Thank you, John! Much to my good fortune, no lambsfoot knives were harmed in the making of that photo.

I couldn’t agree with you more Dylan. There’s just something about a lever gun and a single action revolver that just feels right. I feel the same way every time I pick up one of my 1911’s. I think the word I’m looking for is nostalgic! That’s a great photo Dylan! You’ve gathered a very nice flock of Lambs my friend!

Thank you very much, Ron. I am very fond of 1911s as well. I used to have an old Ithaca that was in rather good condition - the parkerized finish was still largely intact aside from the "idiot marks" that often accompany pistols owned by inexperienced 1911 owners...

She still shot like a dream though.

Dylan, your flock photo is a fine metaphor for the perfect balance between form and function inherent in the lambsfoot! You could carry a different lambsfoot each day for two weeks!!

Thank you, GT! I really have enjoyed your group shots as well.

I echo those sentiments, my friend. I love seeing the wonderful older lambsfoot knives that these fellas find. I have abysmal luck, most of the ones I come across are in very poor condition but still fetch an obscene price.


I've had this one closer by today.

I tried to channel my inner Harvey and take a pic like he did last week... Unfortunately, the ash fell just as I was snapping the picture. Oh well...

That knife really knocks my socks off, Dylan!

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack! I was just having a conversation with Harry @Old Engineer about the virtues of a good sturdy Lambsfoot for everyday use! I’m thankful we made it okay. We had no damage to our property either. Just sitting here watching the local news and it terrible some of the damage and loss of life. Your William Rodgers is an outstanding knife. It came from an outstanding gentleman I might add. The TEW is a good solid knife. It’s not the best looking example I’ve got but it is definitely reliable. One good thing it’s old enough to have a carbon blade!

Yes, Harry got it early too Ron Terrible thing, we're living in harsh times my friend, Mother Nature is in a cruel mood Thanks for your compliment on my William Rodgers, it was a very kind gift from Charlie, one of many such acts of generosity I've received from him Yep, you can't beat that good old steel

You're a tough old bird Ed

To kick start a heavier emphasis on Lambfoot Knives by me, here's Jack's Jack Black SFO Hartshead Barlow with Rosewood covers.

Nice pic my friend

I feel like I'm living in a gourmet restaurant, I get so many good meals. My wife made pork scallopini (we didn't have veal):

(There's my lambsfoot barlow, by the Mouton Cadet, of course). She's a wonderful cook. I helped a little--I put a salad together and poured the wine!

Looks fantastic Vince It's great to see you, and our fellow Guardians, are managing to eat well in spite of the international crisis Your wife sounds like a wonderful lady

You can't beat the old ones pal, the new ones may have looks, but they only emulate history Thanks for the kind words, that's a very interesting-looking Thomas Turner

We should have bought them all up on the QT before starting the Guardians Dylan! Great pics of your crimson Queen

Morning Guardians, how's everyone doing? Looks like everyone is eating well, and I hope that you're all managing OK otherwise, particularly those of you with the 'Heavy Weather'. Stay safe Guardians, and keep your Lambsfoot close (and your loved ones too if you can)

No shortage of things to do here at Grumble Towers Figured I'd join Ed, and drop this 'un in my pocket today, haven't carried it in a while

Haven't got going on the sourdough starter yet, but do have homemade banana bread
Morning Guardians!

I love a warm slice of banana bread slathered in butter! (A little sprinkle of sea salt makes it even better!)

I was trying to find something Apollo 13 related but couldn't.

That’s a good looking meal, David! And a condiment I don’t think I’ve ever heard of!

That always seems to happen to me if I try taking a picture of a cigar!

Here’s a bit of recycled Lambsfoot content.

I was just looking for something to have with my morning coffee, and discovered a couple of packets of biscuits in the store cupboard

Fingers crossed here.

Your Rosewood HHB is looking good Jack! Hope your day is going well my friend!

 

[screened porch]

My gunshop is apparently essential, but my dentist is not. I'm hoping to have my broken tooth parged on May 15th.
Lousy day, really, yesterday. Right on the heels of Sunday, which is always extra desolate.
Today I'll go to the range and see what I can do with that scope. That'll cheer me up, I trust.

I like the swayed backs on those old lambsfoots. Wright makes one with a "shaped handle" which I would call a swayback. Maybe I'll risk it. Maybe not, though, with what I hear lately.

I'll need a flashlight, too.

 

[flatblackcapo]

I am hopelessly behind on this thread again. I hope everyone is doing well and making the best of these strange times.
@Modoc ED I am glad to see that you are making so much progress with your recovery.

Nice shot, GT. The grain and color are fantastic on your rose wood HHB.

I was fellin fancy over the weekend so I went with the stag.

You've inspired me to change my sig line.

Good Morning Guardians
I shamefully had to order a book to remind myself how to do several of the steps in the saddle making process. But in my defense, it's been 20 years since I last did anything with it. I had a three volume set of the Encyclopedia of Saddle Making, but I'll be darned if I can find it anywhere. It's too bad, they've become valuable collectors items.
But on the bright side I have a couple Zoom classes with my math students today. It will nice to see them.

 

[Jack Black]

Your Rosewood HHB is looking good Jack! Hope your day is going well my friend!

Thanks pal, I've been trying to support an old friend who is isolated in London. Just ordered him a CD/radio, which he should get within the next couple of days, and burned a bunch of CDs for him, which I've put in the mail I had a good chat with a couple of neighbours, had half an hour with my slingshot, and I may even get time to go and sit out in the sunshine shortly. So not a bad day, so far, my friend Hope yours is going OK, and that there's no more bad weather coming

Sorry to hear you're going through it Jer All the dentists are closed here, and I was just thinking this morning, I hope I don't have any trouble with my teeth. I hope you can manage OK, that sounds like a long wait. Have fun at the range

I've had to read my own articles sometimes to find out about something I'd forgotten John! Cool pic my friend, hope your class goes well

Shooting is good therapy.

Thanks. Could always be worse, and is for many.
It kind of makes me wonder, though. If you broke a bone would they wait to treat it till you had gangrene?
