Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[JohnDF]

I may buy some chicks this spring and put the old house back to work

I've been thinking about getting some chickens and goats myself.
My wife isn't crazy about the chicken idea, but she doesn't eat eggs.
But I would really like a few chickens, goats, and of course my small flock of Lambs.

Hey Guardians, hope you’re all having a nice Thursday. It’s sunny here, and warm enough. I had a couple pulled pork sliders for lunch, got to get some stuff done around the house while my youngest naps, then we’ll pick her sister up from school and head to a park.

In Guardians of the Condiments news, it seems I’ve used up the last of my favorite BBQ sauce. I thought I had another bottle stashed away, but I guess that was this one. Can’t get it locally, and the shipping makes it pretty pricey to order, but it is good.

Btb those sliders look amazing , is that sauce on the tangy side or sweet side of bbq, I love a tangy hot bbq sauce! That HHB is a looker sir !

John , we’ve had a few hens and I have raised some turkeys for butcher the past few years but I always housed them in a small coop I built closer to the house . That old chicken house from what I have heard was used for years for a pretty good egg business locally , it would probably house 100 hens comfortably. I doubt I would ever own so many! As for a flock of lambs…. I’m working on putting a couple new ones in the stable is that rosewood on your lambfoot and do those have half stops on the blades, or is it a cam system ?

Start with the goats. Your Lambfoot looks great next to that rusty thing.

Agree with cigarrodog John, that’s a great looking photo.

is that rosewood on your lambfoot and do those have half stops on the blades, or is it a cam system ?

Yes, it's African Rosewood... They were a small SFO batch from our friend Jack Black

Start with the goats

Goats are definitely in the works... two of them anyway.

Your Lambfoot looks great next to that rusty thing.

Thanks, Harvey.
I took that shot on vacation, on a walkway along the beach.

that’s a great looking photo.

Thank you, Todd.

Good evening Guardians! I hope all is well and everyone had a good day today! I was lucky enough to slip away for a half an hour walk around the property this evening, beautiful evening for it !
I have been carrying only my lambfoot knife for five days now and I have to say it has cut what ever I needed it to cut ! From leather to the armband bracelets after our couple days at the water park !! The more I carry her and use her the more I really enjoy this pattern !
I took this photo on my walk this evening , the lambfoot sits atop an old hinge from the old (pert near ancient) chicken house that is on the back of the property. I’m not sure the last time it housed any hens but it has been at least 15 years! I may buy some chicks this spring and put the old house back to work

Get some chicks. I’ve been raising birds for 10+ years and don’t regret it. just picked up 8 new chicks. They will be going in with the old ladies soon. JohnDF goat might be in my future too. My wife wants some pygmys.

Great Lamb! And even better picture!

I have a friend, who, about 18 months ago, had the misfortune to move to small-town Poland. He was over for a few days around Christmas, and we went for a few pints together. He slipped me this diminutive bottle of vodka, as if it was the Holy Grail. I don't often drink neat vodka these days, but thought I'd have a shot tonight! I won't be having another!

Na Zdrowie! The polish vodka will grow on you. You should have your friend in poland find you a bottle of this stuff. It's impossible to find in the states now. One of my favorites, even good warm.

Nice photo Todd

The only time I'd heard of it was in a Monty Python sketch. Something about a blancmange from outer space turning everyone into Scotsmen, so it can win Wimbledon.

I think that quote is actually from the 'Food' thread Rachel

Ohhh my...that's an ugly one for sure! Maybe i'll just put mine on sale and get an good old ebony or i'll try another buffalo horn. Yours is probably the worst i've seen so far!

It wasn't just cosmetic either, the knife had other faults The fact that it was supposed to be one of their 'Premier range', and a gift, made it worse Still, I sent it back, and the old gaffer had something a lot better made up for me. It turned out to be the start of a fruitful relationship, but it demonstrates how buying these knives can be pot-luck

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the pattern And that you were able to get out for a walk yesterday THat's a great pic

Cool photo John, you really captured Old Faithful nicely

That looks like it's in a completely different class! Thanks for the tip I was in Poland about a dozen years ago, and drank a wide range of vodka, but most had been distilled outside Poland, which I found a little strange. With respect to my friend, I suspect he just picked up whatever was cheapest in the supermarket, that stuff is the worst vodka I've ever tasted, I'd rather drink spiritus!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week The good weather seems to be sticking around here, but I have a few things I need to do in the house this morning. Hoping to go out somewhere tomorrow. Back with my Hartshead Barlow today Have a good Friday Guardians, the weekend is almost here

Very nice knife ! And good contrast in the photo! From what I have seen within this thread Jack has really worked and created some killer SFOs over the years!

Thank you sir! I love raising poultry , I’ve always had some kind of poultry off and on since I was a kid, my grandfather was from the depression era and always thought you should be as self reliant as possible ! A lot of those from that generation did.

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the pattern And that you were able to get out for a walk yesterday THat's a great pic

Thank you Jack! I really am enjoying the pattern , especially after doing some research and learning a little about it, it’s nice to be able to put a little piece of history in my pocket every morning !

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week The good weather seems to be sticking around here, but I have a few things I need to do in the house this morning. Hoping to go out somewhere tomorrow. Back with my Hartshead Barlow today Have a good Friday Guardians, the weekend is almost here

Good weather has moved in here as well, at least for the weekend . That hartshead looks great sir! Are you a fisherman ? I am hoping to take the boys fishing this weekend for some panfish ( makes a great quick meal)

PT, this is horn isn’t it ? It looks pretty cool ! I’ve seen stag soak in chemicals over the years when used in brass liners and take on that teal coloring ! I always liked the looks of it , even though I know a lot of folks don’t

Good morning Guardians! The weather is shaping up to make for a fine weekend , the morning dew was sitting on the spider webs in the yard this morning , my grandmother always said that was a sure sign of a pretty day ahead!
After a quick stroll I took care of one of my other daily chores of feeding my little [wild] feathered friends! We feed year around and have seen some really cool species come through on the feeders!

Hope you have a great weekend Jack. Your HHB is looking good as ever.

Good morning Guardians. Nice Friday morning here in NC. Warm and sunny on the menu. Hope you all have a good weekend. I'll be doing yard work with the help of my trusty Hartshead Lambsfoot.

Oops, sorry. There's usually enough food talk in here, it's hard to tell.

Ohhh my...that's an ugly one for sure! Maybe i'll just put mine on sale and get an good old ebony or i'll try another buffalo horn. Yours is probably the worst i've seen so far!

I could show pics of a worse one...

Get some chicks. I’ve been raising birds for 10+ years and don’t regret it.

I'm definitely looking forward to fresh eggs every morning.

goat might be in my future too.

My wife wants two goats, and I like the idea too... They will probably give my Heeler some entertainment as well.
I figure I have an acre in the country, and I'm not using it for anything but exercise for my weed eater and mower.

Great Lamb! And even better picture!

Thank you, Taylor.

Cool photo John, you really captured Old Faithful nicely

Thank you, Jack.

Great photo, Jack. I can smell the weekend from here... it's getting close.

Very nice knife

Thank you very much... It's my favorite.

Jack has really worked and created some killer SFOs over the years!

He put a ton of effort into it. He was responsible for some real treasures for sure.

Thanks for the reminder... Order more bird seed.

I could show pics of a worse one...

Oh now we gotta see it.

Been carrying this one all week. We are becoming fast friends. Weather has been beautiful down in Florida this week. I think I will be in the pool this weekend. I hope everyone has a nice Friday.

Big shout out to Pàdruig . A thousand thanks to you, my friend. I’m really loving this knife.

That's great to hear I feel the same way, at my age, it's nice to have something with more history than yourself

Good weather has moved in here as well, at least for the weekend . That hartshead looks great sir! Are you a fisherman ? I am hoping to take the boys fishing this weekend for some panfish ( makes a great quick meal)

That's great news Thanks again I haven't been fishing for a long time, but I was fishing-mad when I was younger, and hope to get back to it one day That sounds like the makings of a great weekend, I hope you and your boys have a wonderful time

Now i want to see it!

 

[Jack Black]

Now i want to see it!

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it may have it's own thread

Note that is an old thread, from when the Lambsfoot was an endangered species, and the Guardians stepped in to save the day!

 

[Jack Black]

A neighbour just gave me a packet of hot-cross buns I thought I'd toast one, and have it with my afternoon cuppa

 

[JohnDF]

Very Yummy!
