Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[cigarrodog]

as a template for being a good human being.

Nicely said, Greg.

Jack Black - Fine assortment of liquid refreshments. How was the Homebrew?

My favourite Kipling poem is The Betrothed.

It could be worse...

Hey there Guardians!
Jack my friend - is that a cafe in Amsterdam?
Looks very familiar to one Sue and I passed during our long walks around. If it is - my daughter went to it when she was there lol.

I share your thoughts about Chin! A nice guy to see around the Porch! Life takes us in directions we would never dream of at times, I hope Chins one is a good change if he has gone away from the Forums!

Harvey tribute? Very nice!

Well, I just read on another thread that @Henry Beige does not have a lambsfoot yet so I would like to nominate him.
I don't go out of the Guardians thread much this days because I am a fanatical cult member LOL, so I don't know Henry or why I would nominate him ..... except that he finds the lambsfoot appealing and he missed the feeding frenzy .
(I hope it qualifies as an entry, if not, perhaps another Guardian can help and give a reason as to why he should have one).

The lambsfoot is appealing, but I missed the feeding frenzy on those and haven’t got one yet.

Hello Guardians!

I’m duly chastised and apologetic for my absence.

I’m also humbled and grateful for your kind words, concern and friendship - it’s a rare thing to have a corner of the ‘net marked by such graciousness, generosity and genuine care and cameraderie for our fellow enthusiasts.

It wasn’t really a planned thing - as Jack mentioned, a number of things can all contribute to a regular poster’s absence.

In my case I guess it was a combination of working longer hours and having less spare time in general, as well as researching some other interests.

We’ve all been living in interesting times recently, but here in Australia we’ve experienced some particularly apocalyptic events, even before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Although the bushfires which raged up and down the Eastern seaboard of Australia earlier this year didn’t affect this part of Victoria (much of the forested part of the state was already burnt in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires), somehow my appetite for posting seemed a little frivolous with so many people here losing everything.

Then there were the floods, and funnily enough during this whole lockdown period I’ve been working more than ever, being employed in an essential industry.

Anyway, I hope you’re all well, my friends and not suffering from too much cabin fever!

Greg, thanks for the kind words about the Lambshank - it would be great to make some extra ones for you all, but I’m afraid I don’t have the grinding gear at hand to do it at the moment. It would be quite an expensive knife, as the handle is completely 3D contoured by hand, but if I ever do make more, rest assured that the Guardians would of course be given first option.

Winter’s here now, and the leaves are dropping on my chilli bushes.

Here’s a pic from a little while ago:

Ebony big’un with a Sri Lankan chilli pepper, crumbed and stuffed with Kingfish curry.

Jack, some time ago you asked about some of my sharpening gear, so I’ve included a bit of kit for an upcoming sharpening project in this pic with three of my most treasured Lambsfoot knives.

The vials are 50K and 100K grit diamond powders I bought from a gemstone lapidary, which I’m planning to make some high concentration stropping pastes with.

There’s also a strongly magnetic chunk of raw volcanic iron from Western Victoria, and a frond of Antarctic Tree Fern from the garden.

The knives need no introduction, I’m sure.

Ok, I’ll have to sign off now and head in to work, but I’m looking forward to catching up with you all!

LOL! That's disappointing Kevin Nice pic of your Lambsfoot my friend, I like your slip

Just goes to show you that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Thanks, Jack. That slip was made by the same good buddy that made that other one you commented on awhile back.

Appropriate reading.

As the late great Charlie Mike used to say " Stay armed, stay alert, stay alive, hooa "
That Lambsfoot display is pretty cool. It is a shame that so many small family owned shops are closing down.
It looks like you had a nice walk in some beautiful scenery.

I had the little ox horn Lamb with me today.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Nice to see you around Chin

Great to hear from you, Chin. Even greater is that you are well and safe. Take care.

Jack Black - Fine assortment of liquid refreshments. How was the Homebrew?

Thanks Harvey, the Homebrew will need 24 hours to settle, but it's been good in the past

Glad you got your Jammie Dodgers John

Hey there Guardians!
Jack my friend - is that a cafe in Amsterdam?

It is a cafe in Amsterdam Duncan, just a filched image from the internet. Images of that cafe were quite prominent, so there's every chance that's the one

Well, I just read on another thread that @Henry Beige does not have a lambsfoot yet so I would like to nominate him.

Good research Dan, I'll add Henry to the list of nominees

Hello Jack, I reached out to Chin and he replied to my message. He is doing well. The unplanned absence from the porch may be over! I was so glad to hear from him and even happier to see his recent posting.

 

[JohnDF]

Harvey tribute? Very nice!

Wasn't meant to be... but don't tell him that.

Hello Guardians!

Hey Chin. Good that you checked in. Glad everything is okay with you.

Glad you got your Jammie Dodgers John

Me too, Jack.
I need to hide them from the boys.

Great to see your posting Chin. And even better to read your response to my PM. I very happy to see you back here with the Guardians Forum.
