I also want to tell you all about the wonderful trip and visit we had to the Rustler's today. He had the big piece of steele ready and I drew the rooster on it, and he cut that thing out in NO time at all like he was drawing with a pencil.
His plasma cutter is so cool!
He can cut any form out so fast it will make your head spin!
He has a whole shop of stuff, and lots of metal and farm implements to use to build metal stuff !
He has currently curved hay rake spikes, that would be perfect for the strawberry pot trees I want, and I also want him to cut out a thick sillohuet of Samantha that I can stake next to her grave, as a head stone, so it looks like she is sitting there in the woods....

I miss her so!)
DH is spraying the rooster cut out with primer, and tomorrow when (if) the light is good, we will take pictures of it, and DH is hog ringing the rooster cut out to our front gate

It is perfect!!
I LOVE it !!!
It is a 33" circle, with a rooster crowing in the center, flat steele, and will be a perfect sign, on our gate.
I have all sorts of ideas I want CR to do now....DH has decided he wants a salmon jumping for a weather vane..and as soon as I can draw a pic of one he likes, we will ask CR to cut is out and it will go on top of our barn.
I am sooo pleased with his work.
He is such an artist I cannot praise his skills enough.
I want at least 1 strawberry pot tree (keeps the slugs off the berry plants {and chickens}) and weeds, and makes picking eye level and so easy....CR will have to post pics of his hay rack tines.....awesome work CR!!!!!!
DH and I are in awe !!!!!!!!

Perfect work!!!!!!!
I cannot waite to show you what he cut out for our gate !!!!!!!!!!

Check your threading and use a brush to clean the lint out of all the doors and openings. Do you still have the instruction manual. while you're at it give it a good oiling. Especially delint it if you do lots of fleece...

I followed all the arrows and put the threads through all the loops.

Instruction manual?? Hmmm...long gone.
Maybe I should vaccume the thing.
Thanks for the pointer.

Well I think CL was around Daffy too long cause she seems to be a little quacked up. That cut out rooster aint all that great. It was a rush job and then I didn't get to finish it by sanding the edges etc. Plus the fact that I had been up since 2:30am didn't do me any favors. I don't like to send things out like that. They need to be finished including painted other wise it reflects negitively on the quality of ones work. But I will admit that I do like to show off the plasma cutter to people who have never sen one work. They really are awesome.

Vacuuming can be good if you are careful but it realy is good to get a brush especially made for small machines and brush out the little cracks and crevices and then oil in the places where it is indicated. Really Really important. Maybe you can look online for your machine and find the manual to find where to oil. You will be so surprised how much better your machine will run.
 
So, I know most of you guys won't see this till tomorrow but I was just wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether a newbee should just get some feed store birds or jump right into finding a breeder with nicer stock. Hope it's not a duhhh question. I love the look of all the Orps, the Marans(BC & W), Cochins and Brahmas catch my eye also. After reading about CL's shipping story, I'm not averse to driving and picking up what I'm looking for. What's the price of gas to an addict, right? Makes for a great date night for me and hubby anyway. Well at lease according to me

Well enough ranting. I'm in Lewis co. on the west side and any thoughts would be wonderful. Oh and I have 6 great kids of 4-h age so maybe we might fiddle with showing...at least that's what I said to convince my hubby that chooks are a good "habit" to have! Goodnight all! Shannon
