When I'm feeling uninspired, and can't seem to get my head right, I find that using the one Great constant in the universe to be inspiring. With His help, I manage to find direction. All my friends never seem to talk about anything except Him (well, maybe excepting Nick Wheeler, but we know Nick's all about Nick, right?).

Here's the picture I keep around, the one that gives me that jolt of joy and inspiration to press on and work toward the goal. Maybe some of you will benefit, also.

...I kind of remember promising Kevin Cashen a copy of this - Kevin, sorry it took so long. I'd love to see how you utilize this in your own shop!

Matt I got 2 copies of that photo, I have one in the shop that I occasionally change the quote of the day on, but I will eventually hang the other and put an opposing quote:).

If you'd like, I'll send you the original .psd document so that you can use it in all of your presentations and scale it accordingly.

It's good to know that He gives you such tremendous inspiration! All of us would do well by following the practices of Him!
 
Wow Matt what can I say? Wow..[shakes head].....Wow.......





He is inspirational but I have to say my main inspiration is better looking.
 
It's amazing how even in 2D he can look so stern and yet remain so inspirational. He is truly one who should inspire us all :D

Somehow I think your quote of the day should be formatted "Mr. T Style" Kevin. Some examples:

  • "I pity the fool that doesn't straighten with a disc sander!"
  • "Quit yo Jibber-jabber! You ain't a knifemaker, you pathetic!, Argh! If I ever catch you acting like a crazy fool again, you're gonna meet my friend pain! ABS! Get some forgin'!"
  • "I pity you fool! You a disgrace to the ABS! It's time to forge like a real man! Take that griteater! Do it again sucker, and there's going to be trouble! With a capital Mr.B!"
  • "Shut up, fool!"
  • "Where's the carbon? This steel is full of alloys! I ain't forgin' nothing I don't understand!"
  • "Don't make me mad, Arrr!"
  • "Forge is a verb... and Verbs show action"
  • "Teachin' fools some basic rules!"

Burt Foster ! Burt Foster ! Burt Foster !
 
They were talking on the radio about this company that makes "novelties" (Matt, you know what I'm talking about :D). Aaaaaaanyway, they came up with the "Stamina Pillow Case" where they silk screened and extremely ugly woman or man on a pillow case. When you start to....ummm...get too...close, you just look at the pillow with the case on it and it "distracts" you thereby slowing down the activities. Needless to say, I think that pic would be perfect as a candidate for version 2.0, The Birth Control Pillow Case.
 
I can see it now, Matt makes his amorous glances toward the Burt Foster Love Pillow as they (Matt and the pillow) take a romantic carriage ride through Central Park.... ;)


BURT FOSTER! BURT FOSTER! BURT FOSTER!!!!!:D
 
"The Burt Foster love pillow"!:eek:?????
Oh Nick...Nick...Nick
I think you need to start comming to Ashokan.........;)

Matt, I'll have to look around but, I think my inspiration is in the glove box of my truck. Maybe Mike saw it in there.:D

I have half a dozen of them in my car.

i like to take pictures of Burt and I doing all sorts of fun stuff.

walking on the beach, bike riding.

sometimes i dress him up......:o

i need help

Nick, you need to come to ashokan. We could use a guy like you are there, stong and handsome. I get lonely being the only one.
 
I was beginning to worry that too many folks wouldn't get the hidden humor of this rather large 'inside joke' kind of joke, but the last few posts show me there's better 'penetration' to this than I initially saw.

I heard that if you stand in front of a mirror in a dark bathroom and chant Burt Foster's name while triple quenching your blade in the toilet he'll magically appear behind you - but only when you look in the mirror!

Don't slander Mace, HE IS A LEGEND AKIN TO CHUCK NORRIS. While Chuck norris can eat thunder and crap lightning, Mace Vitale eats grinding dust and craps blade steel!
 
You guys are only making it worse for yourselves. Your going to bring the rath of Burt down, and its not going to be pretty!

You know what, I was there watching as burt left Ashokan. I saw something tied to his car and pointed it out. Uh, I think I can say the rath of burt will be awesome.

Nick you really should go to Ashokan If you can make it. Good times!
