Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

You got the right tool for the job mate

I think so too but probably sacrilegious to some

Nothing works like a Lambsfoot!

Nothing works like a Lambsfoot!

Agreed, what I was referring to seems,vto be a plethora (good word plethora) of high end disposable bladed box cutters being made & used I'll stick to a Lambsfoot.

That's because people cannot sharpen a knife anymore.

I have my eaves cleared and the leaves packed up from where they accumulate against my house. I have put the mower in the shed and dragged the snowblower to the garage, and the old snowblower still works.
Still, I'm OK with Winter's running a little late hereabouts.

I'm thinking about making a chapeau de fer with a wide and toothed brim that rotates freely on a central pivot, for when the Burmese and reticulated pythons get this far north. I'll get Taylor Swift to endorse it, and my fortune will be made.

Ah yes! Definitely Mitch, a Lambsfoot is so much better to use

That's because people cannot sharpen a knife anymore.

You're right Leon There are even pocket-knives, including some pretty pricey ones, being sold, which don't have a knife blade, just an accessory for holding a disposable blade! Why on earth would you want a piece of junk like that in your pocket, and show everybody how dum you are?!

Very industrious Jer, I guess it pays to be organised with the kind of winters you have Most times when it snows here, it's barely worth the effort of clearing the path. I've done it in the past, only to find that the snow has all gone by the next day! Nice to see Big Rose

I'm just having a break for a couple of pikelets

Honoring the pile side theme before light hanging duties. I hope all had a great time with family and friends.

 

[bigfish64]

Great plan Todd! Met Office say it's 28 here right now, but there's a biting wind!

Thanks Jack. Yea, the wind can take a chilly day and make it miserable really fast.

Beautiful handles on that one Bob.

Good morning Guardians, rainy here today so no fireside photos, but here’s my soggy “Pile Side Sunday” shot. Like Rufus1949 , I’ll be doing some Christmas decorating. We did the outside yesterday so it’s the inside today. No tree yet though, that should be delivered some time this week.

Thanks kindly Todd..
Give the Colts a whoopin'.

Fingers crossed I’m hoping the game will be on TV here since the Colts are relatively close, otherwise I’ll be listening on the radio like I do most weeks.

It’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” for me Barrett.

A classic!

Beautiful burl Barrett.
Give me the Grinch.

Thanks, Bob. I’ve got three different Grinches on my list. Personally I could do without the Jim Carrey one, but Eleanor likes it, so it makes the cut.

Definitely... The Star Wars Holiday Special... The Boys and I watch it every year, even though they endlessly complain about it every year.
It's so bad that it's good... Okay, it's not really good, but it's a tradition.

I’ve heard about that one, John, but I’ve never seen it. I’ve got a few on my list that fit that last statement.

It's a Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, directed by Frank Capra.

You know, I never watched it until a few years back, but now it’s one of my favorites to watch every year.

I really enjoyed it mate, but I've liked every season What did you and Julie think?

Yeah, they’ve all been good. I thought the last season was a bit odd, only because it seemed almost like a completely different show, but it was still good. The new season feels like it’s off to a good start.

And Tool Man is a few sandwiches short of a picnic!

It's coming fast isn't it? I'm beginning to feel like a Lamb transfixed in headlights! Great pic buddy

Definitely. You’ll be spending Christmas morning on a beach before you know it!

How about The Long Kiss Goodnight?!

Hey, some of the best Christmas movies aren’t explicitly Christmas movies.

(I was going to go with, “Now I have a Lambsfoot Ho-Ho-Ho,” but the image from that scene didn’t seem Porch appropriate.)

Brother it has to be the classics.
Die hard & lethal Weapon.
My eldest loves the Grinch & home alone.
I've seen the grinch so many times

Good morning Guardians, thanks to Tyson and Mitch for keep the Good Ship Guardian afloat I hope that everyone is having a great weekend After meeting up with Matt, and his family, in Charlie's for breakfast, we went into town, so the kids could see the Christmas lights, and had a look round one of the museums. They wanted to go shopping, so me and Matt sneaked off for a couple of pints. By chance, we bumped into Brother Tony, and his missus, Louise, so after Matt went off to catch up with his dad, I went for something to eat with Tony and Louise, and then for another couple of pints. It was cold all day here yesterday, but in the afternoon, it got noticeably colder, and I was near frozen by the time I got in! I'm surprised I didn't wake up to snow! It's 32f right now, and I'm glad I have plenty to do in the house! The weather-folks are forecasting snow for later in the week, but we'll see

Sounds like a pretty good day, Jack. We went over to some friends’ house last night. They have a daughter Eleanor’s age and another who’s a bit older, so all the girls got to play together while we had a few drinks and ate pizza. It had been flurrying on our way over, but it didn’t look like it would amount to much. By the time we left, though, there was a pretty good dusting on everything, and the roads were a getting slick in places. We passed one car who apparently took a roundabout too fast; it was up on the curb with its front wheel sticking out at an angle that looked like it was going to be expensive to fix.

I had my Afzelia Burl Albers with me. If we’re doing pile side pics today, here’s one from when I first got it.

Couldn't you just break them on a wheel or something Bob?! Great p[ic of your Charlie Lamb buddy

Thanks Jack. Yea, the wind can take a chilly day and make it miserable really fast.

Yeah, it's not like I was just wearing a T-shirt either! I can't remember the last time I got that cold!

Aha! Got it! Sorry about the fire Todd I hope the rest of your day goes well You still managed to take a great pic!

Thanks Jack.
If I followed your fine suggestion, I would face the wrath of wife!!

 

[Jack Black]

I've seen all the others multiple times, but watched the last one online, rather than on DVD. I'll undoubtedly buy the DVD when I remember though! Yes, the new season definitely has a classic start!

Definitely. You’ll be spending Christmas morning on a beach before you know it!

I'm looking forward to it mate It's just over 3 weeks away, but it feels like I have a lot to do before then I'm just hoping I don't catch Covid or anything!

LOL! Brilliant Barrett! You should save that for Christmas Day

That sounds like a lovely evening Barrett Cool pic of your Albers Lamb too

I managed to get a few chores done in the house, and even got time for a bit of sharpening and fettling I had a go at easing up the pull on this Burlap Micarta Lamb I picked up, thought I was getting there, but I'm going to have to go back to it The edge is never going to be pretty, but at least it's sharp now

Gave The Chieftain a strop too

Since I had my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket, I thought I'd give it a drop of oil and a quick tickle

Down in the bottom of my fettling box, I found this old Joseph Rodgers Lambsfoot that some of you probably haven't seen...

Unfortunately...

You get to seem the dishing at least! It'd be a candidate for a re-cover, but....

That Pen blade is pokey as a punch, so it comes in handy for poking inside a blade well sometimes. Shame though

Great capture of the burl Barrett.
Agreed, I don't mind missing Carrey in any movie.

Especially in that period of his career!

Thanks for sharing the photos of those old lambs Jack.
I always find a little stopping and honing relaxing .

Thanks Bob, yes, me too. I have a small pocket strop I often use when I'm relaxing
