Im getting my act together and setting up my own workshop. Khukuri Monster is going back to school, so the free ride (KMG grinder with rotary platen :) ) is over.

I have a nice big barn, with a bathroom, mini fridge, couch and TV. Its heated by a wood burning furnace, which incidently is a nice source of charcoal. Its the place where my father and I go to get away from the ladies ;) .

Im ordering a Grizzly G1015 knifemaking grinder, which has a buffing wheel. Ill also order enough barstock, belts, and handle material to last me through the winter. I already have a royobi 4x36 deal, which has limited use, a wheel grinder and a big shop vac. I will either make a nice charcoal forge for heat treating or a fancy propane dealie. Im leaning towards charcoal.

My dad likes to do woodworking, so he has all of his tools in there. Between us we make alot of dust and he wants to get a collection system. We can both work in there and not disturb eachother. He makes some nice furniture, and we always get into arguments. He says that his work will get more use than mine, but I say that metal is a MUCH more challenging medium to work with ;) .

This will kill all of the spending money from my summer job that hasnt already been frittered away. But hell, this will keep me from getting depressed this winter, and when I crawl out of there this Spring, ill try to post pictures of some of the junk I made.

Jeb, please don't use the "S" word. Whomever it is you just called that by your choice of words is a Dirty Stinking Slut Public Whore C*NT and worse, much worse, at least that's what you just called them by using the "S" word.!:eek: :barf: :o :(
I know you probably didn't know the meaning of the "S" word, but you do now. Will you please delete it and use something more fitting? Thanks.:)
 
sparks-a-flyin' sure does wonders for the winter blues....agreed!

sounds like you'll be ready to go!
 
Im very sorry Yvsa :( . That is certainly not what I meant! I have never heard of that word meaning that. People use it somewhat commonly around here and its taken to just mean women, nothing more or less. I even remember it being in my school books quite a bit in elementary school! For local history as well as just in stories. Used as ""s" word work" and such. Im very very sorry if it offended you, or anyone else! Its edited to mean, well exactly what I meant it to mean.

Thank you Jeb.:D Now will you please edit this post as well?
I wasn't offended as I knew you didn't know its true meaning. The "S" word is a good word too lose from your vocabulary. A lot of us ndns are trying to get the "S" word place names like "S"word Peak, "S"word Freeway and the like changed to something more fitting, and are succeeding in many areas!
When "S"word Peak was 1st named it was called "S"word Tit Peak. The arrival of the gentile white women got the tit erased real quick!:)

Edited because I couldn't spell erased.:rolleyes:

I will never use the "S" word again! For the dignity of ndns and the sake of my poor, bruised editing finger! :)
You will go far my young friend.:D :cool:
Thank you for paying attention.:D
