J. Ray lives in Oregon.J. Neilson said:Seeing as I've only made a few hawks, I was hoping to watch Ray do his demo. I still wanna see Wulf's forging demo, too. Can't I demo how to screw up a blade...I'm much better at that.
I'll do whatever needs doing.
I'll ask Gary (Wolf) if he could do one, it's no big deal. We will have plenty of demo's going.
Saw it on page 1 of this thread. I thought it was funny he'd be out from the west coast. I don't mind banging out a hawk or axe, I just figure folks would rather see someone who's done a bunch do it. Like I said I've got no problem helping out, I just thought maybe we could think of something I might be good at, good enough to demo anyway. Geez, now I gotta think real hard.
Like I said whatever, I can give you or Mike a call. I'm looking forward to finally letting Joe see our coll. piece, too.

Ray: J. has had the pleasure of spending a few days at my shop and we managed to put a few Buds away while we were building his forge. Right J???Raymond Richard said:Hey J, Keep in mind if you do do a demo you'll have to have one hand to hold a beer. All demo's at IG's are done with one hand..........
Yep, that is why I drink so much because of Grasshoppa (Mike). You should of been here yesterday and seen what he pulled or should I say dropped. It was so bad that a kid going by in a car spit on him. :grumpy: :grumpy:J. Neilson said:I needed a beer between you, Mike and that gaping hole in his forge!
And I am not kidding.

Grasshoppa went and visited Wolf (Gary Rua) at work yesterday. Wolf pickup this self-contained hydraulic unit for nothing. This suck has a 7 HP motor on it with a 30-gallon oil tank and is on wheels. It weights over 600#. So Wolf talked Grasshoppa into bring it over my house in his pickup truck. When we tried to unload this suck the plank that we were sliding it down on fell off the tailgate and the unit took a deep six off the pickup and landed on it’s side. Now we are trying to put this mother right side up and it keep sliding right in the middle of the street. Now no cars can come by and the remnants on the hurricane Jeanne lets go. It’s raining like a Mother and cars blowing their horn. So me being the nice calm guy that I am I start yelling at the dude blow his horn, I only called him an F’head and to stop blowing his f’g horn. We finally put a towrope on it and pull it to the curb. So when the dude is the car was going by he laid a good lunger on Grasshoppa. It took us a good hour to get that sucker upright.Dan Gray said:he didn't have to spit far did he..
OK what'd he do now......
