  Lol it is definitely not for everyone. Growing up on it I never even realized how bad or dangerous it was until I was older and had friends come up to the house. When I was in high school I would time myself from Lake City to my driveway in my 78 Ford 4x4. Ive made it in under 20 min, running north of 60 mph up that road the whole time lol. When I started riding motorcycles, I did it faster. It can be nerve wracking with the coal and logging trucks during the week, and not having any guard rails.

$1k isnt breaking the bank for just an action? Jesus.... Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Meh. It's a road. I live about 45 minutes from the overlook but rarely ever go there anymore. It's fun to ride when there's no traffic, but the persecution, parades, and idiots have ruined it for me. I suggest you come during the week and avoid it like the plague on weekends. This is how I feel about 116. I grew up on top the mountain and have drove and rode it my whole life. Now its one leg of the devils triangle, 2hatever that is. I am glad the tourist haven't found it like they did Deals Gap, I prefer to keep traffic and cops outta there.

  Its in Tuexedo, North Carolina, about 190 miles from Knoxville.

Well Ladies and Gents, as some of you know, I won't be around this summer. I have taken a job as teaching blacksmithing at Falling Creek Summer camp for boys. I may be able to post updates and pictures on occasion, but I won't be on here daily for a good while. I just wanted to tell my good friends on here goodbye for awhile, and that hopefully I'll be seeing y'all soon. Also, look for a post about a homecoming shoot in September lol. I leave early tomorrow morning, and I won't be back until Aug. 5th or later. So you guys take care.   Jordan    

Looking good man. Keep up the good work brother Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

It is legal with a permit Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Probably a fifty pounder. They have some force. Nothing says "I like pain" quite as well as using a machine with 200 lbs of force to slam a 1700 degree piece of metal that your holding lol. And yeah that axe will bring money... Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I love it, and that guy does great work. Id love to have that power hammer Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

If you were range hunting in that area you should have got ahold of me. Im not far from there and got plenty of range at my place. I hate when people use their authority to make people comply with things that they have no right to dictate

I hate to hear this. This is why I am happy to have my own land and be able to do TGO shoots for members only. Glad to hear all is well. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Heck with the pistol, lets see some Harleys. :lol: Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Spend money for the best saw you can get. We have to big Huskys, a 3120 xp and a 371 and they are both great saws. B9th have dropped thousands of large and small trees and sawed several thousand board feet using an alaskan chainsaw mill. This is our 3120. Ive used an ax a ton, but for getting sone with chores and moving on a good chainsaw is hard to beat. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

So I have noticied some peoples ideas range on what a big knife is. Whats your idea of a large blade in length and width? To me a big blade is 10" plus long not counting handle, 1/4 or thicker, and at least 1.5" wide. My medium sized blades are 6-10" not counting handle, usually 1/4, and 1" or wider. Ive just noticied that alot of people call a knife large or big, then I see it and think its a good edc size lol. Am I the one whos proportions are out of wack, and Ive been making swords the whole time? Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

That would be intresting to work with. I'd love the chance to try it lol. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Ok, that too. Lmfao. There is no stress relief like beating the hell out of hot steel with a 4 or 6 lb hammer. You really want to work it out, use that 24 lb sledge. Though you might have a hernia when your done lol. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

OR has hippies? Yes. And yuppies and libtards. Alot of them are from out of state and come in to work the lab. My neighbor works at ORNL, and is contracted from Missouri, though he is a gun lover also. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Thanks man. I strive to make every knife a little better than the last one Forging them has always appealed to me more than stock removal, because I can shape and bend and tweak it in a way thats not possible with grinding and cutting. Though stock removal makes some beautiful knives, I do feel it can be limiting in that your confined to the size of the stock you start with. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I freakinv hate spiders. Im not afraid of them, but if I find one in thouse that suckers dead. My wife is phobic of them, if she saw a black widow that size she would burn the house down and not blink lol. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Makes a bad ass capote. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I love walking around Oak Ridge with my 1911 oc. I wonder how many hippies Ive given heart attacks? They would die if they knewi had a WMD AR-15 and 15+ loaded mags behind the seats lol Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Lmao thanks SK. My wife says I'm a big teddy bear, but no one else seems to think so. I have given thought to Damsacus, but my forge welding isn't there yet. I hope to make my first damscus after being at the camp this summer. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I know what my new standard knife will be. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

We plowed out with the horse and got planted a few weeks ago when the signs were good. This rain keeps up and its all gonna rot. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

You might also try a mustard patina. Looks like good work, wish I had access to a rc tester to check my blades Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere
