[TheForge] New knife steel

[Ron Childers]

Roots were deep in the dirt, it would ruin a chainsaw chain and bar. The deed is done, I should have called my grandson he's a retired Army Ranger.

Facebook is good for getting pictures of 7 great grandchildren. My oldest daughter is 63 so you guys shouldn't bellyache about getting old; there is only one cure which has drastic and long lasting side effects. You stay dead a long time. I was grubbing up a tree stump with a drop ax I forged from an old VW axel and tore my right shoulder. Shots helped but it still hurts. I'm scheduled to do a demo on the 8th of January and this 81 year old body might rebel. Does anyone have a suggestion for an ointment that might ease the pain? Blue Emu was suggested but I need something fast acting. Tomahawks take a lot of pounding so I might hold the tongs and show a younger husky kid where to hit it.
