at least two of the guys from up here will be riding down with me that I know of so far so I'm thinking, if that happens staying the night before will not be an option..
if by chance that doesn't happen then the wife and I would probably stay at a Hotel the night before. then that would be cool..
just not sure yet..:confused:
I'll call you about it if you don't mind ??
 
Hey George,

Shawn, Al and I had a great time. We almost ran out of gas on the way home. Fortunately, your chili kicked in and we were able to make it all the way back to Jersey.:)
 
Uncle BBBBBB Beaver was passed out drunk again???:confused:? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!! well at least he had a good time. :D too bad yall didnt take anymore pics. looks like it was a blast!!
 
Well Georgie...you sure know how to put on a great show!!!:D
Had a great time as always and made it home safe.
I'm glad Larry found a nice comfy spot to curl up on.;)
Are you guys watching "Conan" at 4am.? Boy you guys are freaks!:eek:

Larry, Your bar of damascus somehow ended up in my bag along w/ a small bar of W-2(not sure who's). If you want e-mail me your address and I'll ship it up to ya.

Thanks for being a great host George, hope to see you at the necka hammer-in next month.:thumbup:
Mace

Oh yeah....I got some nice welds on that billet too!
 
I think that there were at least 4 damascus billets made and 2 or 3 cable billets made on Saturday, whew, what good steel making day :thumbup:

Again, thanks IG for putting on a great HI :thumbup:

thanks ..:thumbup: Vickie don't get out from work until ~ 3:00 Friday and traveling from here on the coast
it'll add another 1 1/2 hour to the trip from back Home, about 7 hours maybe if she has a personal day left we'll get out of here earlier..
I'll see how things shape up, :)
 
So I arrived bright and early along with several bags of ice for the drinks. I pulled up at 7 am, to find this... Louis already there and cutting up some cable to make lolipops for damascus. And he had to drive twice as far as me !

Kook and Larry arrived right around the same time that I did, and we got ourselves signed in and entered into the doorprize raffle.

Larry didnt waste any time getting back to work on a damascus billet which he had started on a few weeks back, grinding off the scale so he could fold it up for a new weld.

http://www.tharkis.com/images/hi/ig07/ighi03.jpg


I helped George get the forges all fired up to make sure all the connections were good and that things were working.

A little while later Bill V was working on some twist damascus of his own and grinding off scale to draw it out more. Sean, Louis, and Larry were sent running because Bill didnt warn them before he started showering them with sparks =D

http://www.tharkis.com/images/hi/ig07/ighi06.jpg

From here on in, I dont remember everyone's names, so if people can help me out later to get them labled properly, it'd be great.

Here's someone, Mace, and Louis, with Jean in the background.

Larry, after finishing the damascus he was working on, forged out a blade of his own.

http://www.tharkis.com/images/hi/ig07/ighi08.jpg

Here's a katana blade which Mace had forged out of a piece of W2 roundbar.

Wolf (?), I forget, Jay (?) and Jean standing around talking.

Bill finishing up some damascus talking with someone whose name I can't recall.

Mace did a short grinding demo... after breaking IG's KMG ! (think he just blew a fuse)

http://www.tharkis.com/images/hi/ig07/ighi23.jpg

Aldo forged down a square of W1 into a suitable bar... and while it was cooling decided to leave his mark. In the background is a bunch of people enjoying some Jose and limes.

Larry leaning on a post as things wound down, only a couple people were left by this point.

And lastly, mace was making a massive damascus billet since the press was free and he had the time.
