Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[mitch13]

Sad when you have to go to war with your food containers.
Hope all is well down under.

It is Bob, but that's what knives are for
All is well, hope you are staying warm!

The new aluminum sling that I received with this is amazing. I like the extra heft.

I had an indoor plinking session last night Bob, it probably doesn't do your form any good to use as many different slingshots as I do, but I enjoy trying different ones. I was using three last night including my Pocket Poacher Occularis, which I've not used in ages. It's so good, it almost feels like cheating, so I haven't used it in a while! I do prefer a square corner for aiming though

I don't know if I could delve into a project as you have lately Jack. We do what we must, but take care of yourself and save some energy for your holiday.

I used to put in a lot of hours when I was younger, but I think of myself as semi-retired these days, so it has been a bit of a shock! I do a bit of lay-out work for a printing company occasionally, and in this case, taking on a series of travel brochures, they were probably a bit out of their depth, and needed some help. I've done work for various tourist boards in the past, and basically it's the same kind of work, just more of it. I would certainly never complain about my work, compared to many folks, working in factories or boring offices, I've had a very easy work life. I should really concentrate on doing my own writing, but I've got a bit lazy in that regard, I'm afraid My holiday is only a month away, and I do need to start doing some research, and planning. And just getting in that frame of mind, being as my mind is somewhere different entirely now

I applaud your talents and fortitude Jack.
I believe I have a sling, such as yours, coming at Christmas.
Be well.

Okay, you can't post that pic with no context! Do you play clarinet? What gives, Jack?

Thanks Bob That will be a treat my friend, they're great quality And made in Sheffield of course

LOL! I would love to be able to play the clarinet Tyson, or just about any other musical instrument! Sadly, I do not have those talents However, since I was having to look after Musical Andy's market stall for 10 minutes, I thought I'd use my time constructively!

Get your feet off the furniture Fred!

 

[bigfish64]

They are too small to aim easily Bob, when I tried out mine, there were balls shooting all over the place!

Impressive pics Daniel, I hope that things slow down for you

Stripey is a looker Steve, great pics

Sounds unpleasant Paul, hope it's soon fixed buddy Hulk Lamb is looking good

Wow, that must have been amazing Todd

I liked the Secret Window movie too, something quite old-fashioned about it


Thanks pal

Kat is looking good buddy

Thanks Dwight, it's very light and pocketable, col little knife I think

Great pic Mitch

You're right there my friend! When they made Tool Man, they broke the mould - thankfully!

Another superb photo Dwight

As a teenager, I used to fish for pike through the winter. It got me out of the house, so I could smoke!

Maybe I was being unkind to the re-make Charlie, I don't remember that much about it really It's certainly a scary premise I preferred this movie...

It's crazy isn't it? I undid a jar last night, it had paper tied round with fancy string, a cap to remove, then plastic underneath the cap! Lambsfoot is the perfect tool

Good morning Guardians, no trip to the market today, so I'm going to get on with my work. My mate Wolfie said he might call round for a coffee, but he's notoriously unreliable, so I put the chances of that happening at less than 50%! Got my Albers Lamb in my pocket Have a good day Guardians

I was wondering the same thing Jack! Even if you don’t play, it’s a cool photo.

Thank you Todd, I'm flattered! I'm just getting my chops around a couple of sausage sandwiches Can't believe it's 12.30pm here already!

Thanks for the Artie Shaw, Jack . . . just great!

Good morning Guardians. I tried for an Albers on Monday. No luck. I think I need to use Apple Pay or Google. I’m using Pay Pal. I do enjoy the excitement of trying though. And I admire pictures of them from behind my ipad. Here’s my K’roo which I never tire of carrying. Got some good rain last evening.

 

[Jack Black]

Love that pic Jack !

Thanks Steve, Musical Andy has some nice instruments I think he makes a reasonable living from selling them too

Thanks for the Artie Shaw, Jack . . . just great!

A pleasure Jeff

Good morning all.View attachment 2392866

Cool noggin there with your Barlow Bob I have a small kuksa (and a larger one), what do you use that for, if you don't mind my asking?

I noticed Henderson's was on offer in the supermarket yesterday, but I'm glad I didn't buy a bottle, as it turned out I already had three in the cupboard! Mind you, the 'best before' date on them is still several years hence! There is a 'money back guarantee' now! Are they joking?!

I received this one today, an SFO for a UK dealer, of rather obvious provenance I reckon I could even guess who did that edge Blade is only a fraction off-centre, not really noticeable. Fit and finish are decent, apart from the edge. Pull is VERY strong

I don't know what is up with my internet connection this week, but I'm glad it's not essential to my work Even my phone signal is bad

Looking very seasonal John Your Lamb looks nicely worn-in

Can you ever have too much Henderson's Jack?
This was a gift from Dwight@fodderwing, made by his wife. I use it to measure my ground coffee.

I guess you get to join the club of slightly disappointed buyers of newer lambs.

Thank you, Jack.
It is nicely worn in and hands-down my most carried pocket knife... and I have you to thank for it.

Fix the edge on that knife and you've got a good one.

 

[Jack Black]

Can you ever have too much Henderson's Jack?

Here in Yorkshire, our philosophers and sages, have asked asked that question since the beginning of time, Grasshopper. You are wise beyond your years my friend

I remember now Bob, that's a nice use to put it to

I guess you get to join the club of slightly disappointed buyers of newer lambs.

I'm not too bothered brother, the vendor seems very pleasant, and I'd rather this one went to me than someone new to the pattern. I just hope Wright's don't mess him about the way they did me

Thank you, Jack.

I am very glad it went your way buddy

Fix the edge on that knife and you've got a good one.

I just wish they'd leave the edges alone, I'd rather have them blunt. At the time John Maleham sold the company, one of the old cutlers, who wasn't very good anyway, decided to retire. That left the new owner with two cutlers. At the same time, Ashley injured his hand, and needed to take some time off. There was another guy who John used to use to do jobs at his other small business up in the factory's attic. I have only ever seen him once. After John retired, I'm guessing he was given other work. I certainly hadn't seen any other edges like the one below, before i opened the parcel containing my last SFO That knife wasn't put on by a cutler

If it's the same guy, he's got better, but he's still grinding too high, and unevenly, and effectively rounding the tip of the blade. Knives like this shouldn't leave the factory, let alone be fobbed off on a vendor. Like other Sheffield cutlers I've known, they are just thinking about the next Pound note, not long-term

I'll sharpen the knife up, and hopefully make the edge look less ugly, but I'm also going to have to do some work on the joint. Even have flushing it out, it's still desperately stiff

My internet is still on the blink, hoping I can make this post before Christmas!

Afternoon Guardians! Kat is prowlin and growlin today.

Lookin’ good in the sunshine!

There is, isn’t there? I think Depp and Turturro were great in it.

Nice pic, Jack. I’ll save my “are you taking up the clarinet” joke as it’s already been covered.

What do they need a money-back guarantee for? Any seasoned Guardian of the Condiments knows that trying new condiments is a gamble. At worst you’re out a few bucks and you get over it.

Shame about the shoddy edge, Jack. Hope you can at least make it useable, if not good-looking.

 

[Jack Black]

Definitely My ex-girlfriend didn't like it, for some reason, but she's gone, and I have the DVD to watch anytime I want!

I'd have to move house Barrett!

They KNOW nobody's going to take Henderson's back!

Yeah, I'm sure I will Barrett When I bought it, I thought I might use it for a future giveaway, but it's not up to snuff

I'm glad you're here my friend...

It's cold, wet, and dark here in not so sunny Yorkshire, and I thought some Mediterranean food might be just what the doctor ordered It also gave me a chance to try out a new chilli product for Barrett, the King of Condiments Barrett had sent me some delicious Chilli Crunch a while back, but my local chill shop have failed to get hold of any. The feller in the shop recommended something else though, which he said was his biggest seller. He did, however, give me dire warnings that I should only use the tiniest amount. I thought I'd add some to the patatas bravas, while I was frying the potatoes (which I'd also coated with smoked paprika, black pepper, and Tony Cachere's Louisiana Seasoning - Bam! ), and I added a bit more to the sauce. I'm certainly no asbestos mouth, but I think the bloke in the shop exaggerated. The jury is till out, but if it's any good, I'll pick you up a jar Barrett

Wish I'd had a couple of Mitch's tomatoes, as the ones I bought were pretty tasteless
