I stopped at a yard sale yesterday on the way home from work and I found this for $10 !

An 80 lb anvil




I just need to get a small gas fired forge and some blacksmithing tools now!

I was looking at this forge

404 - Majestic Forge - Gas Blacksmith and Farrier Forges for Sale

I've always had a small interest in blacksmithing, maybe I could make a knife or a dagger

Manly man stuff

I find those videos on youtube of the guy just melting random shit (metals) endlessly enjoyable.

Seriously. You are only about a 4 hour drive from me. I’ll trade you three ounces of my best shit for one ounce of whatever you’re smoking.

Illinois Is Selling More Than $100 Million In Weed Every Month- WROK (Rockford)


According to the numbers posted at the IDFPR website, the lion's share of recreational marijuana purchases at Illinois' dispensaries (about $684 million) were made by Illinois residents, but a pretty hefty chunk of the state's overall take (over $312 million) came from out-of-state, or just-across-the-border.

Is the retail weed any good there? I had someone with a med card grab me a cartridge last time I was there and it was shockingly expensive (well, not really, but 50 is on the high end). Didn't go to any shops myself.

I have no idea but have heard it is just as cheap to buy on the street if not cheaper. They wanted to have just approved, traceable weed for sale. I think that fell though as they can't do anything right anyway.

That's what I heard, an acquaintance got some little sealable mylar bags and printed a logo on it to compete with shops and comes in a bit under what they charge. Glad the black market still exists.

Had one of the wheels needed a small touch up. I tried to spray some and it alligatored as the paint had not cured enough. So let it sit overnight and tried again. Same thing. Ended up stripping the face side with lacquer thinner and scrub pads, then wipe down with a paper towel. Left a nice dull primer base. Let that sit overnight with a fan on it in the garage overnight. I can smell if the paint is cured enough now. Scrubbed it all down with the scratch pad again today and some sand paper for the tight spots.

Got two coats on and looking good. One more to go. Painting in the garage as it's too windy out so it's stinking up the house even with some good air flow.
