A fun day

The Welding Rodeo was fun but it was raining pretty heavily so there were only the participants, the students and teachers at the college and a few die-hard crazies like myself. They had three blacksmiths demonstrating and I came away with a couple of ideas for my own portable forge -- tool holders, etc... Went to a couple of Sewing shops in Bellingham but none of them had any parts for my new puppy -- I wasn't really expecting much but would have liked Singer Oil Type 'A' and needles and bobbins. Looks like I need to go on line. One store recommended three places in Seattle -- two for industrial sewing machines and one for leather. Google them after dinner. Costco and I finally reached a nexus where they had gun safes in stock and I was able to take the time to pick one up and install it. Doing that tomorrow. There is a corner in the garage that is poured concrete on three sides so I am going to rotohammer that puppy into the next dimension -- it will not move until I want it to...
