Finaly had a day off were I did NOT have to work on a car! Spent the morning cleaningmy shop and setting tools up. Then spent a few hours working my forge turning out a railspike knife. Coming along nicely, have to finish turning the spiral for the handle, and dra out the blade a bit more, finish up my edge lines and normalize,harden,then temper, and polish finishing off with sharpening. Maybe 5 hours left. Also got an old Niagra Tools/PEXTO metal roller off ebay, works friggin sweet! Puts sharp, crisp lines in 16g steel (working on a pair of finger gauntlets on the side in 16g mild steel). Work is alright, upper management keeps sending me emails and pestering me about doing the EMPT training for department manager, so I filled out the form to hopefully get them off my back for now till September when training starts. Also finaly paid off my electric guitar! So now I own/play the following:
4 String Bass:
Ibanez GSR 200 Candy apple red transparent finish-black headstock with replacement Shaller tuners.
Fender J-Bass in Saphire Blue and White, all stock.
Epiphone EB-40 Retro 70's with 1 steel cased pickup, maroon and black shortscale w/ mother of pearl fret dots (nicest neck we have ever come across, not a single dead spot and harmonics everyware).
B.C Rich Warlock Platinuim in Gloss Black, stock Humbuckers x2, Q-Parts Chrome Skull Knobs with heavy kick combined with a hardshell coffine case.
B.C Rich Warbeast in Gloss Black. One big ass and ass kicking bass! Heavy crunch and tone with custom hardshell case.
Electric Guitar:
B.C Rich Warbeast WMD neck through in Gloss Black, Red Pinstripes, Floyde Rose Tremelo, String Locks, Mafia Phat-Ass pickups. Only needs an active built in EQ and would be PERFECT.
Also have a soft coffine gig bag someware......
Between work, blacksmithing/armoring, car working,bowflex traing (Xtreme SE) I dun have much time tae play with these, but when I do, it's sweet.
Sweet, made it through last night! J,KC, Lez and I decided to hit up New Haven for clubs. Not my type of music, but was fun. Did get my ass grabbed a couple times by a couple guys, was not amused on that. We drank a lot, and I mean A LOT> it's 3.20pm and still working it off. Cleaning room, maybe hit my Bowflex later. No hangover thankfully. Feel like draging out one of my suites of armor and terrorizing the mall. Maybe harass some emo's in a 130lbs metal shell, or maybe my red/black leather Dragon armor. Should be entertaining either way.
