Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[danno50]

Took me a few hours to catch up with this thread after being away for a week at the OKCA show. I had a really great show, meeting up with old friends and buying a few knives. I spent a few hours trying to get pictures this afternoon, but, overcast and dull here and my camera does not work well with that. I was surprised to find not only one, but, three lamb foot knives a the show. Barrett scooped up the only one that was there last year. I picked up a two blade Eye Witness with black plastic handles, an older Needham and a large (4" closed) IXL Wostenholm. Here is a not so good picture. Once the sun comes out in a few days I will get better pictures of them. I also picked up 2 of the new GEC #41s, with the lamb foot secondary.

Nice haul. The shape and jigging on that Wostenholm really remind me of Charlies lamb

Great to see you made it home danno50 . Those are some great lambs you picked up.

At work for my last shift until Monday. Thought I’d slip the Cosimo in the pocket tonight. Had a peek at the Phillies score and my goodness they stunk up the place today . How about they just don’t lose by 9 runs every game .

Hope everyone had a great day.

Lots of rain lately! Great for my yard but also sadly for the weeds. River is flowing fast too.

About those weeds… I’ve been digging them out like crazy and still I fear I’m losing the battle here’s just one days worth of removed dandelions.

Looks wet there Hoff. Great pic of your Lamb though I reckon I'm going to have to hack the bindweed off my blackberries in a month or so. It hasn't appeared yet, but it will Good luck buddy

Thanks Steve, it's looking like it might be a nice one The rain came suddenly, and very heavily yesterday though, so I better check the weather forecast

Your Barlow is starting to show some character David, love the pic

Bob
Did you put a hex on?
Back up to 86+ next couple of days. I have new autumn clothes to wear back in shorts.

I know the feeling Mitch, a couple of recent years the weather has bypassed my Autumn and Spring collections entirely!

Glad you had a great time, and returned with a good haul Dan, nice finds my friend

I was just thinking the same

Good morning Guardians, I dreamt my alarm went off, and got up a couple of hours early! Too early yet to go to the market, or even Charlie's cafe, so I might as well do a bit of work Have a great day Guardians

The ole alarm clock dream. Kind of like having to use the bathroom in a dream means actually get up and use the bathroom . Nice lamb, Jack. Don’t see that one too often.

Morning Guardians! Off to get iron infusion #4 this afternoon. Hope y'all have a good one.

Love how the Sun gets in there and highlights that lovely wood.

Another night shift but it’s pretty slow. We have been absolutely hammered with storms these past two days and I love it. I’ve always liked a good rainstorm. Got Jacks ebony lamb tonight. This knife just makes me happy. The painting that is behind the lamb is hanging in our office. Gives us all a reminder of why we work here. I catch myself looking at it constantly on a slow shift.

I really like the Stovepipe Kick version on this knife!

Great Knives Dan, Paul said you had a talent for picking up Lambsfoot knives...
Maybe that talent is a bit deadlier than we think....

Paul was saying that he had some real sore ribs- he remembers reaching for a Lambsfoot, but felt this crashing pain in his side- once he got off his one knee and gathered himself- the knife was gone, Paul did say it was strange because he saw Dan with it later on

I too remember the year before, just in the beginning stages of reaching for a KeenKutter - it was a nice one and I got this searing pain in my temple... took me a while to come round, but saw Dan posting it later on, Maybe Dan just missed what happened and picked up the knife soon after? ......................... I dunno

I too, like that version of a kick Duncan. Small details like that seperate a great craftsman from the ordinary.

Is it a common one Paul?! Thanks buddy

My good knee hurts like Hades from two hours at church last night, the sound bench being too low for my knees and too shallow for my legs.
The handbill did say concert, instead of program or recital or tintinabulous vignette, so I was forewarned it would be long. Not that that cheered me up much.

Even so, I recommend the Forte Handbells Quartet very highly. They are talented, skilled, entertaining, and in love with what they do. Four performers and probably not quite a hundred bells, on the table in front of them and the steps behind them and on racks in the four corners of the sanctuary.

None of the things my knee was reminded of would be fair to mention:
Much of the action takes place from a horizontal row, so performing seals.
Much of the action takes place from behind a long table, and they get pretty frenetic, so Monty Python's "mouse organ".
Something my dad said about harpsichord music: "You can see why the pianoforte took over".
How seldom my mom could stand to hear our LP, A Music Box Christmas. ping ping ping

But seriously, they're great. Check them out.

Thanks Jack, built like a tank.

I hope everyone is having a good day I was Hisham's first customer again this morning, but not by much. His staff were late yet again, so he was putting the tables out on the pavement himself. Those boys want to pull their socks up before they're looking for other jobs

After drinking my coffee, and giving Hisham £10 in change, I headed down to the market, where Tool Man and Boring Ray were waiting. Tool Man had already eaten several sandwiches, a family sized custard tart, a large bear-claw (called an 'elephant's foot' here), and was just finishing off a large pork pie. Shortly after, Gravel arrived with a bag of doughnuts, and Tool Man tucked into those too.

Ex-Para Steve was talking to Nobber Al, and me and Steve ended up talking guns and ammo for some reason. Then, me and Tool Man walked down to talk to Golden Gordon and Robert The Badge. Robert was talking badges, and showed me a ship in a bottle he had.

Back at the stall, Harry Hotballs turned up, and we ended up talking about his origins in the rotten village of Featherstone. I've only passed through it once, but I think Featherstone is the only place I know of that I've never heard a good word about! Harry told us more horrible details about the dreadful place

Captain Birdseye called by, and we talked about health and hammers, and then Big J, who never has anything interesting to say, stopped by for a long 10 minutes.

Gravel was going to buy some fish, and I accompanied him, as I wanted to get some bread. I said I'd see him back at the stall, and by the time I got back, he was tucking into a huge portion of mixed bhajis with Tool Man. Obviously Tool Man was doing most of the work, and splattering yoghurt sauce all over the stall, and himself

With some work to do at home, I thought I'd slip away at this point, returning home via the pharmacy, where I needed to pick up my bi-monthly prescription.

I'm going to have a cup of Yorkshire, then try to get my work finished

Sorry to hear about your travails Jer, but glad you enjoyed the musical accompaniment I was once outside Durham Cathedral, when I heard the weekly bell-ringing practice start, and decided to have a pint at a nearby pub. I have never heard such a tuneless racket in my life, and apparently it goes on, every Wednesday, for a full hour! Nice pic of Rose Beast buddy

Thanks Jack, built like a tank.
