Awww, thanks for the comments. Please understand that it's hard not to come off as being "spiteful." Everything in my shop NOW is paid for and all mine. From the 394# anvil to the 110# power hammer and 100T hydraulic press to my 20 yr old SS that I adore and am making my own.

Has anyone here have any experience with metal spinning? If so I'd love to chat with them.

Thanks.

I am a 48y/o mom and grandma from MI. 20 years ago I lost my SS when my ex and I got a divorce (I got the kids :D ) fast forward. I am now an Apprentice Bladesmith, ornamental blacksmith and avid woodworker who is now working on my 4th Victorian home reno. However my other tools take up a lot of ...

The basic idea is to click on the little paper clip (above), and upload the pictures first (one by one) to the site, then 'post' them to the text area. Once you upload them, by pressing the little down arrow next to the paper clip, you will see the list of pictures you have uploaded, and can click ...

I love it. That's the best, most plausible excuse I've seen so far!
