the wife

thank you everyone for all of your kind words.  shes doing well, pain for sure, but resting.  ive been editing video between taking care of the kiddos.  some of you have asked what happened and i talked with her and she is not comfortable with saying what went wrong.  it was something left over from childbirth that was not addressed correctly it turns out but now its all goo...

Everything is ok

Had some surprise surgery with the wife. Nothing major but she's doing great and everything is OK.  Glad I got the car fixed last night.

Day 4 of no car. Anger rises.

So I got these quick Jack's.  It's like a mini lift.  Raises the car up three feet.  When you're tubby with huge boobs having a car raised that high is a huge plus.  I hate working under cars and I tried to fix it all weekend from up top but whatever.  So I figure hey make it easier and raise the car up all at once with those quick Jack's got like 9 months ago.  St...

Country life sucks sometimes

It's all fun and games until your wife leaves for the weekend and then your car breaks down an hour away from town

 Thankfully a buddy is dropping off the parts I need.  That's it.  Just pissed 

Whew!

This is what has taken me months to make

 Well only a few days but months of second guessing myself and overthrowing.  This is a  full keel.  Normally the part I'm attaching would be all one piece with the bottom.  But I couldn't find any oak logs or beams so I had to make it in two parts

  The hard part for me was how to make it match all the curv...

Well

I have to type 140 characters because patreon is dumb and shows that to people so here I am just wasting words to make sure shits not seen and just more words wasted.  Look at this word.  Did you see that word? It was wasted

Now.... I got it!

Filming will start late August early September.  I'll be a historical authority on the show. I can't say more.  But shhh. ...

Sony time

Today is my interview with producers.   It all comes down to this.  

Pendant

A knife I was making grenaded in heat treat.  I've been spun out recently and made a rookie mistake so now the part that blew off is a necklace!

Facebook

Got a 30 day ban from Facebook so if you wonder where I went on there that's what's up.  If one or whoever follows me there could post that I'm on a 30 day ban I'd appreciate it.

Just as the page starts to get traction.  

A guy commented on like 30 pics of mine telling me how much he likes to beat off to me.  I told him to fuck off and I get a 30 day ban.  This c...

August

I've paused August billing so none of you will be charged on it.  I know I've not made content in a while and I'm pretty behind of some rewards so I'm going to use August to play catch up.  I have a vlog almost finished that will explain the 72 million reasons for so much absence and silence (Sony pictures non disclosure agreement :) ) and bad shit too.  I've got about 15 videos ...

Yo

Sorry I've been awol. I've spent the last couple of weeks focusing on catching up orders and patreon rewards. Between that, a shop that's not put together yet because I can't afford to take the time to do it and baby sitters quitting every other week  has not left me much time to do much of anything else.  I'm going to go ahead and upload what I have of the long ship build it will be ...

Patreon instagram

Follow these steps

Remember if you don't send me a message on instagram I will not add you. I have to cross-reference.  Over half have not been added because they refuse to do this.

Also, why i dont post here much is because this site is not mo...

Finishing up the keel

This is the first video that corwin has shot of me working so hopefully we will see if is he as good as he says he is huh?

Pissed

So I knew that using dried lumber and non quartersawn was going to be an issue until I get the board on top that ties these three together but damn it has a hard bow in it.  I can still push it back into shape but I have to get the frame of this done asap.  The 12th though... people are coming to put down a concrete floor for the shop so I'm not on sloped gravel anymore which is cool....

Feeling it

I was shooting a video with my new camera guy and it's for tiktok just a cute clap back at a guy trying to call me about for being too girly in the shop so I just went full bore on it.  But like I still have to see myself so I know roughly what i look like so I can move myself around and such and I was like "corwin dude hold on I'm kinda feelin this look going to snap a few myself" so here...

My babies

Happy first day of fall.  It's also Henry's 5mo.  Hope you all are happy

Sneak peak

Can't sleep so let's edit

"why havent you been forging?"

well  simple answer is if its over 90 degrees or the heat index is, i dont until it cools down until later in the evening.  i do have neighbors so i only do it for an hour or so most days. 

Why? well its the same reason in the warm months i dont wear much in the shop.  in my late teens and early 20s i had so many bad instances of heat stroke due to being in desert area...

Im tired
