#PhotoOfTheDay is a before-and-after of my current post vise. I bought it when it was “farm fresh” and then restored it to good working condition, including fabricating a new spring for it. This is my 2nd post vise and 2nd restoration.
As with my first post vise, this one is likely a hundred or more years old. They are really wonderful, important tools for blacksmithing.

@scott @Geojoek It’s sounds very peaceful, apart from the tourists and hopefully no desperate emergencies. :)
@[email protected] @[email protected] I’d manage
@scott @croyle
I don’t think blasting 'Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" from the top several times a day would instill confidence in you, though.
@Geojoek @scott Well, it *is* a great song, but I’d leave that for after hours when the tourists have gone, for sure.
I do love lighthouses. I’ve been to most of them along the central and northern CA and OR coasts and we even have a couple of related knickknacks up on the walls of the house.
@[email protected] @[email protected] As the big songs go, it was bigger than most
@[email protected] @[email protected] With a writer and performer well-seasoned? :)
Also you’re not making it easy for me to avoid that earworm.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Don’t ride with my daughter - she times driving distances by how many repeats it’ll take. I confirmed this with some other officer cadets she gave a lift back to Hamilton from Kingston one time - they all affirmed that yes, WOTEF was on repeat the whole way. This may also have been a means of extorting gas money from them, I don’t know, but it did putatively occur
@scott @croyle
Does anyone know where the love of God goes when Scott finally moves to Newfoundland?

@[email protected] @[email protected] Look what arrived today (used) - it’s over 600 pages, and it’s a genuine, scholarly dictionary that apparently took 20 years to research and compile (I quickly skimmed the preface; I do need to read it in more detail, but it’s a legit university/linguistics grade dictionary)
@[email protected] @[email protected] Interesting! Just last night I learned about Canadian Gaelic for the first time… Shows how much I don’t know!
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] You could also do LOTA!
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Especially those Spanish speaking tourists looking for scrap metal.
