Just a short story. No editing and not even a proof read.

I haven't been spending much time here lately and I haven't been doing any writing for a long while. It has been cold and wet here for many days and I ran out of projects to work on in the shop. So I decided a couple days ago to see if I could still write a story. This is the result but it is...

Posted for entertainment purposes. No, I do not think you can order from this company at the listed prices. Does have some planting information. And this was before all the GMO stuff.

A while back I made a coal forge and it works fine. But today I was at a yard sale and saw one so I bought it ($100). It looks like this one but the one I bought has a cast iron bowl (the one in this pic looks like steel). I have to make the wood handle and make a new flat leather belt for it...

I bought this today for a dollar. That's great but.....what is it? Overall length is 16". Steel cutter wheel is about 3" diameter. Not home-made because it has part of a brand name printed on it that is now unreadable. Made very heavy duty so you can apply a lot of pressure when cutting.

My blacksmith son just sent me this early birthday present, a war axe he made. Handle is oak and the brass pins in the handle are just decorations. Head is glued and pinned to handle. Head has a big shoulder to go against the handle to help prevent handle from breaking. Just in time because it...

Our SIL had a jack knife that was her father's that she always carried. She travels a lot and one day forgot and had it in her pocket when she went through the screening at the airport. Too late to take it back to the car, put it in a checked bag or mail it. The TSA guy said she could keep...

A month ago I got "tennis elbow" from blacksmithing. Lucky me, tennis elbow takes one to two years to heal and is very painful. Well after a month of doing nothing in the shop, I couldn't stand it so today I made a simple treadle hammer to hammer on the anvil. I couldn't find a suitable...

I am just curious if folks store stimulants (like coffee)? Coffee is likely the most popular followed by some teas that contain caffeine. Cocoa also has caffeine and would also work as a stimulant. Yes I do know yaupon does grow wild in the southeastern states. I store coffee. The reason I...

Tried this recipe last night that my wife found in one of the many magazines she gets. Turned out pretty good. We didn't have any cilantro in the house and we don't like hot peppers but it was still fine. It is gluten-free. Layered Cornbread (meal in one pan) ½ cup oil (+ a little) 1-1/4...
