Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[SteveC]

Classic Sheffield jigging

Thanks buddy !

Good morning Guardians, how is everyone? I was working on a project last night, when I got an old girlfriend, in Ireland, gave me a call. Boy, can that woman talk?! She was on the phone for an hour and a half, then went to take another call, but rang me back 5 minutes later, and was talking for another hour! Glad she's doing OK, but I didn't have time to call in here, or work on my project. It was midnight before I got to bed. I'll have to continue with that today, but I'm hoping to meet up with Wolfie for a coffee at some point, and I do need to go into town to buy some groceries. What a busy life eh?! Still in love with this GL-24 Have a great day Guardians

It was also the year that Charlie @waynorth finally got his Lambsfoot run by GEC


I had some on my chip butty yesterday Pat
Thanks buddy
Cool pics

Ah too right! Having not gotten one I completely forgot that it was the same year.

Triple Lamb content. Lamb Snags, Lamb Floor Mop, and Lamb Cutlery. Breakfast this morning. .

Breakfast of champions!

Leon, I just measured 3 of my lambsfoots and I'm obviously thinking of Cracker Jack as being smaller than he really is.
(My daughter thinks of me this way; she often buys me t-shirts that are "medium" when I typically get "large" for myself.)
I measured Cracker Jack, my Ashley's Choice stag lambsfoot at 3 1/4" closed (which is 3/8" longer than a Case Peanut).
Union Jack, an A. Wright & Son rosewood lambsfoot purchased by my wife and daughter in York, England, is 3 1/2" closed.
LamBarJack, my rosewood Hartshead Barlow, is 3 11/16" closed.

So Cracker Jack is smaller than all my other lambsfoots, but not nearly as small as a Peanut in actual length.
I'll try to get a comparison shot "processed" and posted tomorrow. Here's the best I can do with an old "flock foto"; not sure how much size info you can get from it.

All of those are magnificent ironwood lambs! Your AC is no slouch either.

I pulled up schematics of early elevators, which had areas where that roll of micarta could have been used.
I have also read, that it was used early on, for electrical insulation.

Interesting Bob

I met Wolfie in town, before getting my errands done. He was on time for once, but at the wrong place! He did pay for the coffee though

I've not seen either of these before, thought I'd give them a try, as they were on offer

 

[Jack Black]

There is some WOW factor in that lamb Jack.

Thank you Bob

It was certainly a busy year! As well the Ironwood 19's, the Damascus Lambs, and the Hartshead Barlows, I did a couple of short runs of Rosewood Lambs

Good morning Guardians !

We're starting Autumn off with some beautiful weather. This is the best time of year here in Minnesota. It's in the upper 50's at the moment and will get up to 80° later today. There's isn't a cloud in the sky.

Morning Guardians. Got Sawman taking care of bidness today

 

[Fodderwing]

Properly prepared

Thanks mate.

Dwight, is that KnifeHead lamb a new build? Looks great

To the best of my knowledge it's the first and only lambsfoot made by Kerry Hampton. I don't know how long ago he made it.

Cool pic amigo

Gracias.

Unique, impressive, knarly

Now that is isolation!!

I think that's Cape Hatteras.

Dwight, it looks great! The reason I thought it might be pretty recent is because of the recent surge of the lambsfoot on the knife scene. I really like the dual swedges.

Sawman is carrying lots of character David.
Hard to imagine the suffering and loses from that battle.

I spoke to Tool Man on the phone earlier, and he's on good form again, though one of the old Teds, from Sheffield, Pineapple Jeff, has sadly passed away We have a warning of heavy rain for tomorrow, so it may not be very pleasant in the market, or very lucrative for Tool Man (anyone with sense will stay away) I think I'm going to give Schultz a day out, might bring back memories of the Northern Yorkshire Front, where he was captured (at Whitby)

Hope the weather man is wrong Jack.
Great old lamb you have there.
