Lord Geordie Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I have plenty local pigeons need evicted from my roof since having the solar panels fitted they nest under them. I have had limited success in trying to remove them so need to try netting the sides of the panels off if I can get up there! I can't even hang my washing out!

la bala Posted October 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Been busy with other things, not even had time to make another @ockup at forge welding. Have got another knife on the go, the boy wants one. Knocked the blank up today out of 1095, have some bog oak scales for handle. Having to sort some hammer marks out on belt grinder. Hopefully back in forge tomorrow for quench hardening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.w. Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I’m most disappointed that la bala has of yet not welded his billet, if I was closer I’d weld it for him, but that’s defeating the object of the exercise, he’s been a naughty boy and should be on detention and beaten with a big stick so that he comes to his senses and gets on with the dam job.

A thrashing is too good for him Int the village stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes 🍅 although hes probably got a sicknote or some feeble excuse 🙄 like pigeon shooting 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Sorry lads fire welding on hold at mo, have been doing some welding for son in law. I have knocked a blank out for the boy, but while grinding some hammer marks out the new belt grinder has give up the ghost, the on off switch has packed up. Anyway early days on the new knife, got to quench harden yet and as you know everything can go mammories up on that. I will get back on billet work asap and will give a report as usual.
