Doug Seward 5 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Only 115 hours 46 minutes to go Jesus. And this year, I have a surprise for you. Link to post Share on other sites
Jesus Hernandez 29 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 You are bad, Doug. You can't do that to me. Now the wait it's going to be even worse! Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 2,634 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Have I mentioned lately how bummed I am I can't make it this year? Somebody abuse Sam for me. Link to post Share on other sites
dennis mcadams 0 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sorry indeed Alan you know I could always kidnap you at spear point as I go through Thursday! It seems as though old man winter may give us a little love this year... but I don't wanna speak too soon. Great idea about bringing your own high capacity eating utensils Jesus! Be careful folks Sam lives by the puppy theory. That is any attention is good attention. You really canna abuse him. Cheers, see you soon Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Price 22 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We'll raise a toast in your honor, Alan, and see if we can get Sam to puke again, though I suspect he's beyond such youthful stunts now... Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Salvati 75 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hey Doug any chance of some of those Olives you had at Peter's Valley this last year? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Andriacco 5 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Ok, long shot here. Does anyone who's coming have a used grinder they want to unload? If so, shoot me a PM. I'm in the market for a 115V, single phase belt grinder. I figure it's better to ask now and have them bring it than find out someone was looking to sell one but they left it back in their shop several states away and will have to ship. Looking forward to the weekend! Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Price 22 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have an old Craftsman 2x42 with a dead switch, if you're into electrical repair - it ought to work just fine otherwise. Unless the motor's burnt out, but I don't think that's it. I'll bring it, we can talk. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Andriacco 5 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks Christopher! I shot you a message with my number so we can talk before the hammer-in if you'd like. I wanted to talk to you about the classes you offer anyway . My first job in the Air Force was electronics repair so I can try taking a shot. Link to post Share on other sites
JHLarrimore 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sounds good guys. I've got a firehouse fundraiser to get to at 7 but I'll be able to help out for a couple of hours Friday. I bet I can get there around 2 or so. Link to post Share on other sites
Sean H 2 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Can't wait to head out there Friday afternoon, this will be my first hammer in, having missed last years and received a great deal of ribbing for it, i won't miss this one! Aside from watching various people work i do have a small tanto i would like to get ground and heat treated, and i have a small bucket full of knives and other knife scrap that i'd love to turn into a bloom of some sort if anyone is interested. Otherwise looking forward to a great weekend! Link to post Share on other sites
JHLarrimore 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hey Deker, you hanging out on the interwebs still? Anybody know if Deker will be attending this year? Maybe doing some more mad-scientist-damascus demos? Jake Link to post Share on other sites
Kerrystagmer 2 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Will anyone other then Jeff be needing firebrick? I broke down Jesus' hearth from lastyear to build me new 48" forge so there are only a couple spares around. I can get them locally, I just need to know. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
ZebDeming 4 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'll probably need about 6 of them Kerry. Zeb Link to post Share on other sites
JimC 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Alan, I will take up the mantle of Sam Abuser for you this year. I hope to do you proud. Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Seward 5 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Kerry, I am bringing the firebrick I need plus some extra I could part with. I have a few extra large ultra high temp graphite bricks if anyone is interested. And for you bacon lovers, here is 10.5 pounds of slab bacon for the beans: Sliced and fried in cast iron: and of course I cannot forget the Kansas City BBQ sauce. Tomorrow night is slaw. Nearing the finish line. Time to clean the kitchen. Good night all. -Doug Link to post Share on other sites
John Page 68 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 And for you bacon lovers, here is 10.5 pounds of slab bacon for the bean Is it the 28th yet That is some serious bacon, Doug! I can't wait to experience it (missed out last year, could only drop in for a few minutes Sunday afternoon). I've found that there is nothing like a slab of bacon and a bunch of hungry smiths!

Christopher Price 22 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The 28th would be a week too late, my friend... Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Seward 5 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 John, Sorry you missed it last year. Let me help you out so you don't miss this year. Friday, March 21st between 5 and 6PM Eastern Daylight time, BBQ will be served. -Doug Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Mercier 65 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Those food pictures have me wanting to drive down this thursday instead of friday to make sure I'm not late! Link to post Share on other sites
John Page 68 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 My bad! Must have mis-remembered the information. Thanks for catching that! In that case, is it Friday yet!?! John Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Green 17 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 All my gear is staged, and ready to load on the truck tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to playing in the fire with my friends. I do have the bellows Zeb. It would be heroic to do the full Evenstad process, in the hearth, with bloom, and bellows. I picked out a nice bloom quarter for us to play with. I will be there pretty early Friday. We can play!!!!! Mark Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Andriacco 5 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You guys are making me wish I took off Friday, but I can't on account of a promotion test. What time does everything kick off on Saturday? Link to post Share on other sites
