Ed, my father happened to be in England during WW11 recovering from wounds suffered in the Battle of the Bulge. He told me of getting fish and chips wrapped in newspaper and so hot he could barely hold them.
Nice photo jack. Does the tag in the background say 1780?Looking good TaylorI hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip
Great to see your 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot my friend, you've inspired me to carry mine
A lot of water under the bridge since then mate
Fantastic photos Gary, I'd forgotten how your Lambsfoot got its name
Wonderful pics
Good morning Guardians, another wet start to the week here in YorkshireHope you all have a good one. Inspired by @lambertiana I'm starting mine with my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot
I hope your father fully recovered BillEd, my father happened to be in England during WW11 recovering from wounds suffered in the Battle of the Bulge. He told me of getting fish and chips wrapped in newspaper and so hot he could barely hold them.
I can remember how you'd have to juggle the wrapped fish and chips in your hands because they were so hot! When they stopped using newspaper, some chippies had paper specially printed to LOOK like newspaper! Now, most of them use polystyrene cartons, which I rather dislike 
ThanksNice photo jack. Does the tag in the background say 1780?
I had to check that Bill! The machinery is an old hand-crank to open the gates on a canal lock. That section of canal dates to 1797, but I think that number actually relates to the number of the lock itself 
Very cool idea Gary, it still looks great!I've been carrying Man Jack, my stag "senator" lambsfoot for the past week. I'll post a sequence of pics of Man Jack for a "time-lapse photography" presentation of the knife's time with me.
September 2015, soon after I won the knife in a GAW hosted by a BF member from Manchester, England (the "Man" in Man Jack comes from Manchester):

October 2018, with the Guardians Lambsfoot slip Dylan made that I use to carry my Lambsfoot of the Week, whatever the source of the lambsfoot:

November 2019 (according to the date on my computer, but some of the photos taken at the same time show what looks like midsummer vegetation to me - maybe it took me several months to transfer pics from camera to computer??), note the relatively anemic coloring on the mark side of the knife:

July 2020, on the campus of Aquinas College, which is only about 1.5 miles from my house and is pleasantly wooded and watered, so my daily walks take me there quite often, especially during the summer:

Those horn covers are just super cool, Jack; awesome image too!Good morning Guardians, another wet start to the week here in Yorkshire
Thank you kindly JJThose horn covers are just super cool, Jack; awesome image too!
Congratulations on your new Carl Kammerling JJReturned home and almost immediately grabbed these two.
Posting that image made me feel hungry mate!And a fine looking chip butty it is.
Have nearly finished my sharpening project, just have a couple of tweaks, this is it at the moment.
Thanks for the update, it looks really cool
Taking a bit longer than i expected, but that has worked out better, have found a few ideas on Youtube that i would not have thought of.I was wondering how that was going earlier
Wow! That is a breathtaking image of Shoshone Falls Taylor
Shoshone Falls, Idaho.

I hope you're having a great time I love that shot of your Barlow too, really cool patina No reason to rushTaking a bit longer than i expected, but that has worked out better, have found a few ideas on Youtube that i would not have thought of.
I'm sure you'll do a great job 
Hard to capture it in a picture Jack, but it's amazing how the water cut through and created the canyon.Wow! That is a breathtaking image of Shoshone Falls Taylor
No reason to rush
Those sorts of shots always are, but you have done a good job.
What an amazing place to visit
Hijacking the thread for one moment,
, if you were there and it was close, for us knife aficiandos you would have to call into Idahone sharpeners and do your bit for the local economy, wouldn't you?
Thank you, Jack!!! I knew you would know this maker, as I'm still a neophyte (at bestCongratulations on your new Carl Kammerling JJ
) in the world of the Lambsfoot.
