Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

So back to the next day.

I had that job interview for an ophthalmology specialist job. The lady said my CV would go forward. But it seems the sales manager who is a part time Magistrate of Justice of the Peace did not like what he saw. Declined once I was back in England.

After the interview, Andy took us and the rail spikes we had bought somewhere on the trip in a junk store, into the forge.

We forged 6 blades.

Knife forging video story.

Then I started shaping one, and two of them and Craig got a lesson in broom making, using Andy’s machines from the 1800’s to make his wife a broom.

Lunch was good, interrupting my shaping etc.

Waitress was pretty

Massive portions of everything.

Andy’s kids portion was stil more food than he chose to have.

Craigs and my left overs were a lunch for the two of us in the truck the Saturday when we headed home to Dennis’s house.

Again………

Hospitality and friendships were at the forefront of this visit.

Every time I leave Andy’s place I feel like I’m losing something.

Thank you @oldironfarmer and Carol.



Two lots of photos from Michael Hutchens workshop and yard before we get to some random metalworking photos.

Sorry. Not sorry.
