Shit! This is great!

We don’t mess around Matty! Well….. we do, but we pretend that we dont....

The struggle is real when you’re this close in to downtown.

@Brock that sounds like a fun project.  Looking forward to seeing more of your progress!

Superb updates, keep them coming @Brock 

[Matty123]

@Brock Clearly you don’t mess around! You guys know what you’re doing! tying rebar is a good skill to have. That’s a sweet CAT as well. Mini excavators are fun to operate. Rubber tracks don’t mess up
The pavement and it’s much harder to accidentally put a hole in the side of a building…. in theory.  I think

Haha!! I feel like we’re running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off on this project so far, but we’re gonna get er done!
Tying rebar sucks! My fingers are sore! And that CAT is amazing! Looking forward to putting a lot of hours on it.

Not much happened today other than my Buddy Harley stopping by to drop off this awesome vintage Singer machine. Some of you may follow him on Instagram. If you don’t, check him out! He’s a great dude and he has big dreams when it comes to making jeans.. @indigoashby

Blacksmithing tonight! [emoji1008][emoji91]
Started working on a soup ladle for the wife tonight. She’s been begging for one since I started smithing.

My pops working on a rams head. It’s going to be a drop lock for the gate we’re building.

As I suggested earlier in the thread… fekk the railroad. This is where it’s at. It’s like Skyrim Hearthfire IRL [emoji1]

How long have you been smithing?

[Appfaff]

This is some super cool shit @brock !!

Thanks guys!
Haha I agree! The railroad can fekk off!!

Been taking classes at Oaks Bottom Forge for the last 12 weeks. Pat is the owner and I met him at the ShipJohn grand opening after they moved into our building. Pat forges the knifes that mike puts leather on and sells on his site.

Here’s a recent snap of mine..

Blacksmithing?.. Forging?.. Can I interest you in my fine wares?..

Today was a long and epic day! Back story: I’ve been riding bikes with a group of about 10-15 close friends at the wee hours of the morning before work for the last couple years now. We call ourselves the 5am crew.

So, today 7 of us decided to drive out to sisters Oregon for a ride over McKenzie Pass before the US forest service opens it up to car traffic. We left Boring, Oregon at 0400 and drove over Mt. Hood to Sisters. From there we rode 30 miles over the pass to Belknap hotsprings where we soaked and caught some rays for about an hour. Then we rode 30 miles back to the trucks. The ride was full of amazing views and great times! Brutal climbing and high speeds made the day one to remember! The total elevation gain was 5,500 feet!
Here is a pic dump of the day….

Maybe not.... Tapatalk won’t let me upload right now... will try in the AM

Oh damn, @Brock that sounds like an epic ride.  Can't wait to see the pics.  I hope we don't have to wait until the next tapatalk update.  The app's been worse than usual, recently.
