Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Really, i'm not, there would be 2 council departments arguing whose department it is to do it.

Yeah, for sure!

Nice to see your Hartshead Barlow David What do you use those little fellers for?



Great pics Dan, hope you had a lovely walk



Always a good choice Ron



I love the way you've taken that pic Joshua, and the patina, the colours on the carbon steel are great when it first starts forming



Superb photos Dan



Looks like a solid user! Great to see you here Mark, how're you doing buddy?



How're things with you Dennis, hope you're managing OK my friend, it's great to have you here?

Good Morning Guardians, hope everyone has had a good week. Great to see Mark and Dennis call in A dull day here, with some rain forecast, and a lot more over the weekend. With the lockdown rules here in Leeds, travel restricted, and rotten weather forecast, I'm not sure what I'll be able to do over the weekend. I usually meet up with my best pal on Fridays, but we can't meet up today, even outdoors I'm sure I can find plenty of chores to do though Have a good Friday Guartdians

Thank you, Jack! I like how the etch is done on the lambsfoot knives. It doesn't disappear right away and offer a neat effect when the patina starts forming.

Very atmospheric shots there Dan.



Crowd control.



Great shot Jack. Your HHB looks like it's resting on the world's biggest pork scratchings.



Ooo! Ooo! Were going to have one of them soon!



Looks complicated. Using metric as well.

A Yorkshire lambsfoot. A Lancashire sausage roll.

Very nice photos David

Jose, great photo of your rosewood HHB

Looks like cable armouring that's been there a few decades. My guess is that it's been stripped off copper cable, which was then weighed in for scrap, with the worthless steel sheath dumped in the woods



Nice photo Dan, hope you can go another few weeks without the white stuff



I wish I could send you some of ours Taylor, supposed to get a month's worth today



Hope you get some R 'n' R this weekend Chuck

Good Morning Guardians! Too wet to go out for a hike today, and with the lockdown restrictions here, I'm a bit stuck for what to do. Can't meet indoors, can't meet outdoors... Maybe I'll go and hit my boiler, which is currently making a racket like a swarm of wasps over-revving their tiny wasp car-engines, with my new hammer! Have a good weekend Guardians, and stay safe out there

Your HHB looking good Jack! Hope your boiler is OK. Our restrictions here in NC aren't too bad. We can meet indoors and out doors. Need to wear a mask, practice social distancing, etc. Some areas of our country are doing better than others. Your walks sound invigorating; keep it up.

Good morning Guardians and all. Overcast today here in coastal NC but at least it isn't raining. Some indoor projects today I think. Going to emulate Jack Black and go for a "hike" . Have my HHB in the pocket today.

Good morning guardians! I’m carrying a Stag big’un today. Y’all stay safe out there!

Ty David, Your pic was quite atmospheric too

Spooky!! Love Autumn/Fall. We need rain here in California though.

Yes, fall is nice. The weather folks are calling for a nice and long autumn this year

Nice photo Dan, hope you can go another few weeks without the white stuff

Fingers crossed my friend

I've got this "Big-un" out this morning. Thought I'd give it a chance to toot it's "Horn"

Yeah, it's a real etch, rather than a transfer Joshua The one on the Hartshead Barlow blades runs even deeper

Thanks a lot Bill I have the boiler serviced every year, but 4 years out of 5, the idiots who service it have to come back because they messed up. It doesn't cost me anything, but it's very annoying That's good to hear, I hope everyone is keeping safe. A lot of confusion and ambiguity here. I was on a bus earlier, where wearing a mask is supposedly a legal requirement now. A woman got on behind me, and she'd forgotten hers, but the driver let her on anyway. Half the passengers had them under their chins Thanks again buddy, hope you're having a nice weekend

Good to see it Ron

Wow! Great flock Vince

Rotten weather here today, and we're locked-down, but I worked out that I could still take my girlfriend and her adult daughter out for lunch, as they're in my "social bubble" We headed for a supposedly up-market pub turned restaurant on the edge of Leeds. What a mistake! Our first two choices were "off", the first indication that they have a microwave engineer rather than a chef We eventually got what was supposed to be a curry, which was not only rubbish, but the portion size was pathetic. I thought they might have brought us child's portions by mistake!

This pitiful excuse for a meal (X3), plus a pint of beer and 2 Cokes came to a couple of Pounds shy of £50!! Bad service too

I'm glad I had a pie in the fridge, as I was famished by the time I got back home

Very nice flock there Vince!

Good to see it Ron

Thanks Jack! I’ve been carrying the wood big’uns more lately. I was looking this PD big’un over before I dropped it in my pocket. I had forgotten just how well this one is made. It may be a second but the f&f is definitely first quality.

I hate to hear about the lockdown Jack! It sounds like the lunch was really a bummer. It certainly doesn’t look very appetizing! The meal you prepared yourself looked delicious.

They look really great Vince.

Wow! Great flock Vince

Very nice flock there Vince!

Thanks, fellas!

Big 'Un's a good size Ron Yeah, we got a few bargains from that Seconds pile Better that they came here than scoundrels selling them as 'Firsts' on Fleabay! After Wright's changed hands, I was told they were going to stop selling Seconds out of the back door, but from what I saw, they just started selling them out of the front!

Thanks pal, a real waste of time and money A lot of restaurants are struggling to survive here at the moment, and I feel sorry for the good ones, but there are an awful lot that I certainly wouldn't miss Thanks my friend, probably cost about £2.50! And the service was better!

You did get some really nice knives that only had some minor imperfections Jack. I for one am thankful! The service was better and you know the Chef personally!

Looks complicated. Using metric as well.

They thought they could confuse me by coding the diagram in that metric stuff but I had my conversion chart handy.
Nice pic David, you can't go wrong with a sausage roll, a Lambsfoot and walk in the country.

LOL!

Reeeally cool pic Jack.

Have a great weekend y'all.

Thanks Ron Yeah, I even left him a tip - Don't waste your money in that darn restaurant again!

Reeeally cool pic Jack.

Have a great weekend y'all.

Thanks pal, that looks like an informative read

I'm glad I had a pie in the fridge, as I was famished by the time I got back home

Fifty quid for that . Give me that pie, spuds, peas and gravy over that excuse for a " get up and hurry " any day.. When ever i even get an inkling that the " Chef ", is related to Monsieur Microwave, i'm outta there.
