Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good evening Guardians! The weather is looking good here in the foothills for the weekend , we have a big weekend coming up around these parts , it’s more or less a huge fleamarket ! Working every Saturday means I will only get to go walk around Sunday but that’s alright because that’s when everyone is willing to make a deal 😉 I hope every ones weekend is kicking off well!
Sticking with last nights theme of the old chicken house to show her age I took a photo of the inside of the main door , the two rings or “links” you see have both been made over an anvil and forge welded together , if you look closely below the lambfoot you can see the two kerfs that have been forge welded together to make it one piece of metal! It’s not much , but to me it’s interesting to see the workmanship of days gone by … BFB0C250-9E53-4809-8280-17A6A98F7116.jpeg
 
Working on some projects that if successful may be able to help fellow Guardians into the future. Have a good weekend everyone. :)

Beautiful photo Dwight :cool: I I always struggle to show off the Damascus on that SFO, but you really nailed it my friend :) :thumbsup:
Cheers X 3… and counting.😂
Thanks buddy! :D :thumbsup:
This was one of those meat grinder type weeks here. Still strong on my New Year’s resolution however. Have a great evening or morning, GuardiansView attachment 1799392
Sounds rough Pete, hope next week is better, and that you have a great weekend :thumbsup: Your big Lamb is taking on some nice character :cool: :thumbsup:
Looking good Jer :cool: :thumbsup:

That sounds great, my mate from the market is at a big Steam Fair this weekend, which has a fleamarket. It won't be as big as that one, but I'd like to have gone. I hope you have a fantastic time, and pick up a few bargains :) That's a nice piece of history there, cool pic too :cool: :thumbsup:

Sounds intriguing Leon, I hope it works out mate :) Nice to see your Lambsfoot helping out :) :thumbsup:
I try to stay away from Taylor beers, but that Neapolitan Ice Cream is intriguing....
It was 'interesting' John :D I do like Northern Monk beers, and they're well worth looking out for :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, big spanner thrown into my weekend by my girlfriend's employer :mad: She's a college teacher, and they were informed yesterday afternoon that there's an Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) inspection on Monday, so everyone is expected to work all weekend 😠 Personally, we'd have been having a very short conversation about that :rolleyes: The news arrived too late for me to make alternative plans, but I'll find something to do today. For the moment, I'm having an easy start to the day :thumbsup: I hope everyone has a great weekend, and that you enjoy carrying your Lambsfoot knives :) :thumbsup:

Can’t wait to see what you are tinkering with ! When you break out the digital instruments you know stuffs about to get real !

I hate to hear that jack ! I’m sure you can cook something up to pass the time . And I agree if in her shoes it would have been a quick conversation for sure ! But like you I’ve always been self employed luckily.
some of the best file work I’ve seen in a while sir ! I love seeing parts of your collection.

Good morning Guardians ! One more day and the weekend is mine ! Stay safe out there and enjoy what ever you decide to do with your time ! I’m trying to document the etch on my Charlie lamb as much as possible because as soon as I start harvesting veggies out of the garden I’m afraid she is going to disappear ! 52AAF9FA-713E-4603-BB93-1EEDEDA9A3DC.jpeg

Major bummer Jack. That is some very short notice which would lead me to believe someone “dropped the ball”. Hope you find fun this weekend. I am up getting ready for some premiere league football and coffee.
 
LOL! 🤣 :thumbsup:

Blimey, a lot of folks on The Porch seem to be getting snow here on The Porch :eek: I'm hoping we've had our share here this year, but you never know :rolleyes:

Cheers Guardians, have a great weekend (can't remember the last time I had one of these) :thumbsup:

Some tasty brews Jack! And just as tasty HHB:thumbsup:. To be honest I'm not an expert on beer but I'll have one now and then.😁

Good morning Guardians. Another beautiful day here in paradise. Hope you all are having a good weekend. Having good friends stop by today on their trip back up north from Florida. Haven't seen them since Covid. I'll be out working in the garden this morning before the arrive and I will be carrying my trusty one - HHB.

My mate asked me if I'd take his eldest boy to the movies for the afternoon, so I'm just having a piece of apple cake and a coffee, in a cafe, waiting for them to show up. Hope everyone is having a good day 🙂 Thanks for the kind words, and I'll catch up with y'all later 👍

Looks yummy! 😋

Spotted one of the little ones this morning, look like he’s fresh out of the dirt. 😊

What a great picture!! 🤠:thumbsup:
A special project that will benefit Guardians in the future?
Let me guess, you're figuring out the correct angle for a Lambsfoot blade so GEC can get it right on future runs... 🤣
there's an Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) inspection on Monday, so everyone is expected to work all weekend
That's just the Administration getting their shorts in a bunch and passing the buck down to the drones. :(:thumbsdown:
Sorry your plans got ruined by bureaucracy. :confused::thumbsdown:
Looking good, Jack. 🤠:thumbsup:
I hope the movie is a good one... How much do you charge for babysitting?
Oh, He/She/They is adorable!

This is going to be good.👍🏻
I'll find something to do today. For the moment, I'm having an easy start to the day :thumbsup: I hope everyone has a great weekend, and that you enjoy carrying your Lambsfoot knives :) :thumbsup:
Finding something to do is never a problem for you. Easy start, going to a matinee, plus an assortment of fun things will make Jack a happy camper.

A nice moment captured well.
Let me guess, you're figuring out the correct blade angle of a Lambsfoot so you can provide GEC with some useful information for future runs... 🤣
🤣
Good Morning Guardians
Not sure what my plans are today.
My wife was under the weather yesterday, so it depends on how she feels this morning.

Hope you all have a wonderful start to your weekend.
Hope the Missus is feeling better, Rose Wood Lambfoot is looking good, John.

Good Morning Guardians

Thanks buddy :) I couldn't stand to be back on the clock again, been 31 years for me, and I've certainly no regrets :) :thumbsup:

Hope you're having a great weekend :) Your photo shows off the blade, and the etch, well :) :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete, they're supposed to be ready for these short-notice inspections all the time, but of course they never are, so they make the staff work all weekend to get what is effectively a false test result. Kind of ironic considering it's a college :rolleyes: Hope you're enjoying the football my friend :) :thumbsup:
Some tasty brews Jack! And just as tasty HHB:thumbsup:. To be honest I'm not an expert on beer but I'll have one now and then.😁
Thank you kindly Bill, so long as it tastes good eh? :) :thumbsup:

That is one old street-fighter Jer! :D :) :thumbsup:
Looks yummy! 😋
Thanks Todd, that place is probably the last 'ordinary' cafe in Leeds city centre. Does nice apple cake :) :thumbsup:

For sure :confused: :thumbsup: Thanks pal, I'm sure you've had similar things happen :rolleyes: By chance, they showed a recruitment advert for teachers in the cinema, what utter BS! 😠
Looking good, Jack. 🤠:thumbsup:

Thanks again John :) Not as much as I should! :D The movie was some rubbish with Sandra Bullock in it ;) :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about your wife mate, I hope she's feeling better today, and that you find something nice to do :) :thumbsup:
Another great pic there :) :thumbsup:

Thanks Harvey :) I walked into town, stopping for a coffee and a sandwich on the way, and another coffee with apple cake in town, went to the matinee, went shopping for some DVDs with my mate's lad, (who must be the last person under 30 who buys them! :D), then went for chip butties. He asked if we could go in a guitar shop for 10 minutes while his bus came. He picked up the 'AC/DC songbook', and told me he could play every song in it. I told him, "Mate, don't ever tell that to a girl if you expect her to go out with you!" 🤣 :thumbsup:
Good Morning Guardians
Another fantastic photo :cool: Is that a new Lambsfoot Harvey? :thumbsup:
Thank you, Harvey. :)
She is doing okay. Another day of rest and she will be good as new.
That's good news John :) :thumbsup:
Great picture... Can I lick your Lambsfoot?
LOL! 🤣 When you getting the T-shirt printed?! 🤣 :thumbsup:
