I pulled up in the huge red truck, idling for a while, then finally tried to sneak out and get a picture of the frolick in progress.

What do you do, when someone posts something cool on facebook? Normally, my attitude is that facebook is just terminally uncool and nothing on it deserves to be linked here.
I thought I’d sell my old anvil and get a new one. The surface of the anvil was pretty pitted, and if I tried to forge down an edge, the steel often picked up the pits. Also: new anvils are pretty!
This is a sign I saw outside the grocery store where I usually get my stuff.
Fascists like to broadcast their intentions; it’s part of their “thing.”
When you form the tip of a japanese-style war-blade, you cut the steel at a 45-degree angle then hammer the back over to form the tip. Usually, the cut-off piece goes in the bin, but with oroshigane or tamahagane, the material is valuable enough that you can’t do that.
It’s really an amazing adaptation, to have an anal sac that you can express at someone when they get annoying. Think what human civilization would be like if we had that ability.
I walked out the front door and we both froze, looking at each other.
I’ve fallen into a habit of randomly switching from project to project, as my interests hit me. That results in a pretty random output, but I’m having a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed this video by Rick Beato; the idea is interesting and so are some of the collateral thoughts.
