Re: Want to buy (NG-ish)

Have your friend contact the Rocky Mountain Smiths. Every blacksmith group has several OFFICIAL CERTIFIED JUNK COLLECTORS with an extra bucket of "PROJECT" spikes consuming space which they will never get around to doing anything with. I finally got rid of my bucket 2 years ago after 7 moves and 35 years.

CAUTION! ...NNG....CONDEMNED TRACKS AHEAD...PROCEED AT YOUR OWN PERIL

I got my bucket of spikes from some other fiend back in the late 70's or early 80's......so its been more than 35 years. Now that I am writing, I used 4 spikes to hold down an anvil, 1 to test out the power hammer repair (which my Dad would never let me throw away even though the "creation" sent children screaming), 1 to make a lousy knife I can't find, 2 to make scrap knives thrown into the gully, pulled out the 4 spikes and put back into the bucket, gave 3 spikes to a friend, commingled a bunch of brand new 20 pound mine rail spikes, sold 5 spikes in the late 1980's, sold the bucket but kept 5 spikes just in case, which now I have now idea where they are located. So...normal.

We need to pass a law against bucket handles! The handle makes it just toooooo easy to move the junk. You're in a panic to load all the blacksmith junk. Grab! Swing! Job done! No thought, no mind! (No mind, normal condition for blacksmiths.) And you have the junk with you ready for another move. If the handle was missing, that bucket and many others would be welded to the ground forever. We need laws prohibiting handles on buckets we do not need.

Ahhhhhhh.....good memories of cleaning up spilled spikes from under the truck bed liner

back when I had youth

or a truck

or hair

or could bend over.
