Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Beautiful Lamb Dwight!
Thanks David!
Fantastic pic Dwight
Gracias amigo mio.
Looks good Rick :thumbsup:

Stan liked to add a few more Maltese crosses, he could do them in seconds, but file-work, both on spring-backs, and blades goes way back before Stan. It hasn't stopped a few shysters trying to pass off contemporary A. Wright knives as Stan's since he passed away :rolleyes: I'm not sure when Wright's started using file-work, but possibly when they started doing their badly-named 'Senator' pattern. A former local vendor claims to have both conceived and named the pattern, while Wright's current owner makes the same claim. I know both of them well, and suspect that the vendor wanted a fancier knife to sell, and Stan's knives may have been an indirect influence, but maybe no more than that. A couple of more pics of the file-work on my Stan Shaw Lambsfoot, which covers the entire back-spring from well to tang, and extends down along the top of the blade :) :thumbsup:

Definitely Mitch :) Hope you're pleased with them :) :thumbsup:
What a jewel.
Good morning Guardians, Christmas seems to be bearing down like a 10-ton truck, and I go away a week before that, so no shortage of things to do :eek: Heavy rain is forecast all day here, so I think we'll probably end up in one of the local museums, unless Matt has any ideas. I'm sure we'll get some lunch somewhere anyway :) I hope everyone has a great weekend, and that it's better weather where you are :) :thumbsup:

Love the bone on that lamb Steve.
Morning Guardians! Not sure who made this one. All I make out of the tang stamp is Harding & Sons. Can't find any info on this. Bright, sunny and moderate temperatures today. View attachment 2417966
Another incredible lamb! Some fine fine specimens today.
 
Jack 5 times? Nah I just end up adjusting them myself. The 1s I'm not used to are ultra light with thin ear pieces that feels odd.
It's been 4 years since I've had new 1s the greenies are creeping in 😫 you used to get a hard plastic clamshell case. Now it's a felt covered cardboard 1 I can crush by hand.
I don't think they get irony, 90% of the glasses they sell are plastic!
It was the lenses that were wrong, rather than the frames, Mitch. The thing is, my prescription hadn't even changed! 😖 My neighbour, Carlton, across the road, had to go back so many times he got the specs for free!
Sounds wild woolly weather, stay safe you don't want to miss the holiday.
Yeah it was warm but a few degrees cooler when I cooked a BBQ at SIL for nephews birthday.
It was Kristy, lorna & SIL I felt for they worked in the Cafe, kitchen would have been a lot hotter.
My SIL was going to cook BBQ, as her partner is slack and won't do it. I don't think that's fair.
Be cooler today will only reach 80f.
For sure mate, been a bad year for weather here. Thanks mate 🙂 It's a couple of years, at least, since I last went to a BBQ, crazy! 🙄 Hope you had a great time 🙂 Don't forget your long johns today! 😁😉👍
 
always making egg sandwiches

snack for a late supper.
They look magnificent. There was an English food writer and well renowned cook many years ago, in one of her books she proclaimed an egg sandwich to be the best meal on earth. Fresh bread, buttered, a lightly fried egg in butter and some salt and pepper. Does not get any easier, and tastes fantastic. Protein, carbs and fat, the perfect meal.
 
Sounds like a busy but enjoyable afternoon Jack. We are doing a little Christmas shopping online and took the dogs to the park for a nice long walk. 😎👍👍
That sounds nice Pete :) I enjoyed everything, but the weather :) :thumbsup:
Good solution ! 👍
Thoughtful and elegant :) :thumbsup:

Gracias amigo mio.

What a jewel.

Muchas gracias por las amables palabras mi compa :thumbsup:
Fabulous image Dwight :) :thumbsup:
One of the maintenance guys I work with is always making egg sandwiches
I call it the Dennis snack. Since I'm feeling kind of weak this evening I decided to have a Dennis snack for a late supper.View attachment 2418683
Looks like Tool Man's kind of snack David :D :thumbsup:
Some afternoon pictures and comparing specs cases.
The good old style View attachment 2418714

& the new pressed cardboard 1.
View attachment 2418715
That's shocking isn't it, considering how much they charge for specs, and how little they pay for the cases? :rolleyes: My optician started issuing some fancy cases with their more expensive glasses a few years ago, but they were a stupid size, and unpocketable 😖 I've been holding off getting a new one myself, in view of how I need some specs anyway, but I think I'm going to have to pick one up this week :rolleyes: Cool pics Mitch :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing good :) Miserable weather here again today, but I have no shortage of things to do indoors, and if I go out it'll just be to the pub ;) I'm carrying this J jsdistin re-cover, gifted to me by Reaper AL Reaper AL today :) I haven't seen Al post in a while, so I hope he's OK :) Have a great day Guardians :thumbsup:

Since I woke up and probably won't be able to get back to sleep. I haven't had a cup of coffee ☕ in over a week. So I got a cup of super stout coffee with some half & half in it. Probably only drink about half of it and save the other till later.

I know that feeling David, in spades :rolleyes: I hope you enjoy your coffee buddy, and maybe get a nap later ;) Very cool Lamb :cool: :thumbsup:

Beautiful Lamb! Cant remember the type of bone covers that Lamb has. 🤔🤠

Thank you Jack! Ended up drinking the whole cup of coffee instead of just half of it as originally planned. 😁 I was filing the run up on a Lamb to bring the blade up a bit higher and the next thing I knew the coffee was gone. :D

Well, good morning David! What fine ole lamb you have there. The treatment of the scales from long ago is always a treat to see.
My morning pot of coffee is made and am enjoying the peacefulness too.
Hope you have a good day, in spite of the early start.
