Not really although I have built a few things as needed, but I just turn it over to the pro's now, how many smith's do you need, I know most in the Prairie Blacksmith's Assc. ;D
Nothing better than a herd of blacksmith's cause unlike the guys on the street corner with the cardboard sign's, these guys will work for food. ;D

His wife can make you enough rope to hang yourself or rig a schooner. ;)

Sorry OT, din't even think of you, I think about you welding up that nice stuff, but didn't think beyond that. Got a feeling you could do some hammering and such also.
-
I just don't have the time to do some of that kind of work, maybe one of these days, if it's time consumin I just have a time gettin it done. on our welding, we'll kind of do it in steps, get several cut out, weld em up next time, clean em up and paint next time.
I know there are a coupla places around here that do custom work,
http://www.eurekaironworks.com/ up at Eureka Springs Arkansas. and there's another up at Mountain Home Arkansas, but I haven't found a web site for them.
-
I'm looking for a pair of round iron rods 1/2" diameter, 3" long, with a 1 1/4" domed head on one end. I need the other end squared, center drilled and threaded, but don't know the exact size yet.
I also need two custom sword hangers, and some custom sixgun hangers, but I'll need to send some drawings for those. Might be a good idea to send drawings for all of this.
It's hell seeing something in your mind's eye, knowing how to make it, and not having anything to work with. If I had access to a small anvil, a source of heat, and some raw stock I could make these dang things myself.....but I don't!
Haven't had for years.
Maybe I can find a lathe and turn them out of oak.
I'm still mulling a lot of this over.

I'll pass, but just curious, what's the brand?
-
Her pard, I'm sure all our friends are good smiths, but it might be easier to deal with a local, least you won't have to ship it.
You're on yer own as to findin' them, don't get lost on the way. ;D

Speaking of branding irons, they have a large collection of branding irons at the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association Museum in Fort Worth.

A local smith made mine.
There is a little portable forge in the shed I should see if it will still work.

I can't blame a man for practicing good wildlife management.
-
On my way over to Mira Loma and Norco to talk to three 'smiths. There are a bunch more around, but these are closest.
Had no idea there were so many in the area, but I guess it figures. Both of those places have a lot of "horse properties".
Thanks for all the help.

Well, I talked to one fella for an hour and decided:
1. I can do the jobs myself.
2. I can use his stuff.
3. My cost will be for materials and a lunch at Farmer Boys for every day I'm there.
4. He provides, suggestions, opinions, and instruction for nothing.
5. I havr to show up next Tuesday morning with my drawings and dimensions, my own safety glasses, and a pair of leather gloves.
Couldn't pass up the deal.
Thanks again.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Tha Knu-braskey Rangers wood like to catch you with that runnin' iron....

Bro. Sleep, He would be in big trouble down in Texas if the TSCRA saw his running iron.
-
Tall splaining to do. with an iron like that, you can draw almost anything. :o
-
I know, Sherrif Earl Scank of Keith County and I disscussed that one time at the state fair. But I was out of his jur-us-dict-shun. ;D
(Tis funny, I lay it out in plain site, 999 folks can walk by and never notice, then someone like him will do a double take.) ;D
{BTW they're no longer ileagal here, since the 50's, modern science can tell. But would still not be a good idea to be caught in a pasture with one and a Berz-O-Matic.}
Earl's retired, don't know if he'd come out of retirement if I showed up, he banned me from his county. ;D
-
Thank both me and Mr. Google, ya owe me and Mr. Google a good cup a coffe sometime. ;D
Seems I still owe you about a gallon of coffee from things you done before and ain't never collected on yet. When you coming out here?
What's the difference between a runnin' iron and a pot lid lifter? :D

They don't generally hang cooks. ;D
Lowest bad guys I ever saw were the ones in Open Range, killed the dog and the cook, lower even than Bruce Dern shootin' John Wayne in the back, course he almost stooped low enough to hang the cook. ;D
-
Hangin' is too good for Bruce Dern. Stake him out over an ant hill, skin him, then pour honey over him and watch the fun.
-
Pop has a sadistic streak. That er he jus' don't like Dern's face much.
-
I'd pay good money to see that done to Ol Bruce.
-
Now Mr. Dern is a sweet lovable man who just happens to play the badman very well. ;) Tis not fair to hate the man for the fact he is an ugly but very good actor. >:(
-
Besides that in that movie the Duke deserved to die, remember he POed the cook and reached for pie with out asking. ;D Mr. Nightlinger should have cut his heart out with his knife for that, he was just too nice. ;)
-
Yep, There ya go, defending the cook again! Nobody shoots the Duke and gets away with it!
-

Well they kill Bruce in the end, and Rosco Lee Brown is the real star of that movie. ;D
Besides even you know enough not to up-set the cook, btw ya gonna bring castor oil or do I need to include it next month. ;D
-
That's up to you.
-
In the original book tis Opie Cunnighham (yes I did that on purpose) that kills Books. His motivation was half noteriety and half a sympathetic desire ta let the man die his way as he had planned. Books had carefully planned his death and blew it by being so good at what he did.

Might be, but Bruce Dern killed the Duke in The Cowboys, not The Shootist. ;D

Nothing like the sound of Leo pooping razor blades. :o

That gives new meaning of the term "Getting ripped a new one"!

I have nothing more ta say right now than "OUCH"!

But see, now no need for Preperation H, the piles are gone.

Gomer's gone?
That's a shame, the guy could sing like nobody's buisiness.

Pyle's piles? I'll say no more, don't know if the rumors are true.

We both do at times my friend. ;D
Ya ought to see what I do from time to time to Libs on the Lab Board. ::)

Speakin' of that, I see the shark callin' someone a liar again with all his flowery BS words. And I don't tolerate that when it's directed at me, guess it's the way I was raised.
-
Still of the opinion he’s a troll. ‘N borin’……
-
The cap stayin' on the chain fired silly-en-durr is easy to explain, if you understand how black powder really works. ;D
-
S'why I was almost tempted ta hear his disertation on hang fires. I occasionally have insomnia an thought it'd be better than takin pills. Then I realized that I'd rather be awake than go ta sleep lookin at that pitcher of his fine chapaue an kool shades.
-
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Den, Jaws strikes!
-
Wasn't there an actor named "shark" in some of the MASH shows, bit ugly bad headed guy, Col. Potter tolt Radar not to mess with him or he'd bite him and give him the gleep. Always ways sellin' shoddy goods if I 'member right. ::)
-
Lawdy Miss Clawdy, he jus' did another one. Talk about a sleepin pill. Basicaly repeated what I said in 10 words er less an stretched it fer a whole page. Didn't even acknowlege I had already said it, but that's fine with me, I could give a rat's butt. I need a nap now.
-
Not wanting to add fuel to the fire, but has anyone noticed the resemblance of the Shark’s avatar to Josiah (Ron Perlman) on the series The Magnificent Seven? Just add shades. Apologies to Mr. Perlman.

Nope, but noticed the guy who says they didn't use pump guns in the Old West so they shouldn't be allowed, sure looks like he's got one of those painted staw hats in that pit-chure. As as person who is a decent hatter I don't really consider them a hat. Sad you can't get a good straw hat any more, just fake straw painted with Dulux like a Earl Shrives job or a MA ACO job. Wait that is funny and didn't do it a poor-pus. ;D
-
Got more words a wisdom comin' up, bein' posted in chain fire, take a while for for the flowers to get here from the florist. ::)

He's been at it since 5:33 CDT, even with all the window dressin' that's a long time. ::)

One the Forensic Techs had a charged battery pack for a strobe in lab coat pocket. Somehow a live 9mm cartridge got in the same pocket. Crossed the contacts, things got warm ‘n BANG!
Split the case mouth ta base ‘n dropped the bullet. It all stayed in the pocket. Unfortunately, all bodily fluids didn’t stay in him.

Sounds about right, there ain't that much force to a case when you do that. Most times they travel maybe 10 feet, no time to build much pressure before it is released. Don't recomend doin' the research as I said, but a quick toss and a quick exit and yer fine. It does shower sparks a bit.
-
Shark 'action" is on the third page now, been right at an hour, I've wrote magazine articles that fast. Can't wait to get the facts that I've got down wrong.
-
I see we got's a couple a guests, sign in, pull up a hunk a ground, coffee's in the pot by the fire, help yerself, wash the cup in the wreck pan when yer done. ;)
And don't mess with the fire, cosies get grumpy if ya toss in wood or live ammo. ;D

Just fill the case with Bullseye and compress it when you seat the bullet. ;D That smokelyless stuff should work like black I would think, or you could look in a manual or an on-line manual. ;D
