Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[echoscout]

Cool pic buddy

Good to see OTW

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

Thanks buddy. I've been to Antietam twice. Last time I sat in the Dunker Church and pondered the long range consequences of that battle for a long time.

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)

Fine companion for the market

Looking good David, cool patch too

Thank you kindly Jack

Good choice Jack ! Sorry to hear about Jeff.

Nice pair Ken !

Sometimes I want a cold tasty beverage that has no alcohol but also isn't too sweet. Here's a mocktail I make occasionally - Fever-tree Elderflower Tonic Water with a slug of balsamic vinegar on the rocks.

Such a classic Lamb !

Thanks buddy

Rained all day yesterday so did some leather maintenance. Wood knife covers and leather, just love them, still living organism's that get better with age.

10 miles of quiet beach.View attachment 2669630View attachment 2669631

Looks fantastic, Bob! My kind of beach day!

Anyone heard from Paul?
he hasn't dropped in for awhile.

I’ve talked to him a bit. I think he’s just got a lot going on with work right now.

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

Sounds like quite a night, Jack! Hope you at least had a few drinks to keep you company during your phone call.

Thanks Bob, Eric did a first rate job, I wonder if we'll ever find out how the micarta was originally used

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.

I did quite a bit of searching around and could never find anything conclusive, but I find this gate roller on an elevator parts website. Maybe it could have been used for something similar to this.

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

Those sound interesting.

Sorry to hear about Jeff. Did you know him personally, or just know of him through Tool Man?

Have a good day at the market tomorrow. Try not to get soaked.

Nice pic, Tyson. Sounds like an interesting concoction.

It is a great beach to walk and ponder.

I can see where those rollers would fit, as per, the schematics I found.

Half your luck on the rain, we missed out completely here.
There’s a few crops starting to be cut for hay now between lack of rain and some bad frosts last week. Are you still down the Warnambool/Timboon way?

I’ll have to give that leather stuff a go too

 

[cudgee]

I’ll have to give that leather stuff a go too

It's the best. I have been using it for 50 years. An old, and i mean real old bushie put me onto it. And they knew. Even the smell tells you it's good stuff.

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

Thanks Bob, he often is!

Sorry to hear of Jeff's passing, condolences to you and all.

Thanks buddy, here's Pineapple Jeff and his missus last year

Fine companion for the market

Thank you kindly Jack

Thank you David

Happy Double Lambsfoot Day Ken

Sweet Saynor David I bought 3 Saynor Lambs like this some years ago, and gave Charlie and Duncan one, but I suspect they had been finished relatively recently

Sorry to hear about his passing, Jack.

Thank you Jeremy, I think I only met him 3 times, but Tool Man had known him a long time. He was a very well-liked bloke apparently

Good choice Jack ! Sorry to hear about Jeff.

Thanks a lot Steve

That's interesting Tyson, I would never have thought of using balsamic vinegar like that

Looks like good stuff Leon I don't suppose I'd enjoy it if it rained for a month here, but I wouldn't run out of jobs to do

I’ve talked to him a bit. I think he’s just got a lot going on with work right now.

Please pass on my best mate

Sounds like quite a night, Jack! Hope you at least had a few drinks to keep you company during your phone call.

Unfortunately not! I had to hold the phone away from my ear, as I used to when I went out with her! Nothing wrong with what she was saying, but she never stops talking, to the point my phone overheats!

I did quite a bit of searching around and could never find anything conclusive, but I find this gate roller on an elevator parts website. Maybe it could have been used for something similar to this.

That's VERY interesting Barrett, good research buddy

Sorry to hear about Jeff. Did you know him personally, or just know of him through Tool Man?

Have a good day at the market tomorrow. Try not to get soaked.

Thanks Barrett, but he was only a casual acquaintance

It's the best. I have been using it for 50 years. An old, and i mean real old bushie put me onto it. And they knew. Even the smell tells you it's good stuff.

Great photo Leon

Stunning Steve!

 

[birdsbeaks]

Well Guardians, down in Miami, FLA it's hot, humid, overcast, and we're expecting 30 mph winds tomorrow - just a little smooch from Helene as she blows by. Sounds like we'll be only minimally impacted, but folks further north might be in for it. Hope not.

 

[echoscout]

Great Combo.

Thanks buddy! I've had it for a while. Haven't carried it much lately. Other Lambs have had my attention.

Thanks for letting me know Barrett.
