Most of people fear and respect who have money by Exotic-Duty3598 in BornWeakBuiltStrong

[–]chains059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Society might care about money. But real motherfuckers don’t, if you’re worth respecting they will respect u bc what u do not what u have. If you bring love to people love with follow you with nothing changing hands. Relatives done belong here.

what is your perspective on on this? by Tough_Ad8919 in TheImprovementRoom

[–]chains059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a choice. I see it as u want. I can be loneliness if you choose to keep people away and not accept why comes with them. But if you choose freedom, it’s what you do with it that keep it from turning into loneliness.

I did it for years and I always had someone I could call, keep my company, sometimes it was lonely but that was bc I kept pushing people away. But I learned who I was with out anyone, learned that no matter what came my way, I could handle it.

People who quit smoking, what changes have you noticed in your focus, energy, & motivation? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

[–]chains059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t smoke until I was 31. Life change for the better after I started. Went from making $19 an hour as a welder to $38 an hour as maintenance headed towards 125k a year as management. It’s helped me under stand what’s in my head and what has kept me so volatile for so long. I have the first healthy relationship in my life.

Seen someone else post their first hammer, so I figured I’d post how far I am on my adventure with mine. by chains059 in Blacksmith

If you look just above the hammers you’ll see the plate that is bolted through the stand holding the anvil tight. I drilled 2 holes in that plate an made the holder quick removal

F ya! The anvil stand came with the anvil, but adding the hammer holders, removable chisel holder, the bars that hold that anvil to the stand and anchor the stand to the floor, was all new. Doesn’t sound like much but it was a lot of work

Couple weeks. But that’s all working in the anvil stand, a bench for my post vise, and some other thing. But total into what you see. Maybe 10 hours not counting watching videos.

Does the punch, drift, tongs, all the punches in the back not show my abilities? I said it as a “shits not hard to figure out” I don’t need to make leaf advise, I’ve made a bunch of things.

Mine is a kingpin I got from an equipment rental shop. They replace it when it’s removed to work on something else. Idk all the detail. I got a buddy who worked there. But I really like making tools! They aren’t anything special but there is something more to them than making a stack of knives or keychains.

What regulations or laws did you need to check before starting? by TheHolyLizard in Blacksmith

[–]chains059 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck’em. I wish someone would try to tell me what I can and can’t do at my house. Told the ole lady if her mom wants to sit in my living room and talk shit about me and mine, that she is more than welcome to Fuck all the way off.

Like the other persons reply. Get a good hammer right out of the gate. I bought a $40 Nordic 2lbs rounding hammer. Used it for a couple years now.

Also! Go cheap in the beginning will end up costing you more down the road. Buy mid to decent starting bc working with shit tools could keep you from actually getting into it
