Thank you Flatwoods Forge

[TrickyNicky]

I just want to extend a warm thank you to Spots and his father for having me and my mom up to visit last Saturday. We got to do some shooting, blow up some tannerite and most importantly of all, they were both gracious enough to open up their homes to us and show us around and answer all our questions.

We got to see the forge, the wood shop, Spot's parents house, the whole nine yards.
The setup that they have out there is so absolutely awesome, they truly have all they need right there on their land. Spots dad is an amazing guy, even if he doesn't seem to think there's anything amazing about building a beautiful cabin with your own two hands using trees you've felled for yourself, there is.

In all the buildings we visited you could quite literally see the family history in all the antiques floating about here and there, many still functional.

Anyway, if you ever get the chance to go see Spots, take it. You will not find a better host and all around great guy to kill a few hours with. We were only planning on staying until about 2:00-3:00 and needed up leaving around 5:30 after loosing track of time.

Thank you again Spots, we really did have an absolutely fantastic time hanging out with you, and mom is still going on about seeing Steve losing his head. I can't wait until I can get back up there and see you all again.

Going to see Spots and his Dad again this weekend for a bit of smithing. Can't wait. I always have a blast and they are great hosts and very generous with their time.

Does anyone know how to reformat these vids? For some reason or another I can't get them to play.

We really did have a blast, and I think I've got our whole "tannerite in the water" issue licked for next time too. ;)

They play within Firefox browser tap for me with Windows XP, seems  QuickTime plugin has grabbed it currently, though I could tell it to use something else, like Windows Media Player (which is default), or GOM or something.

 

Just checked, and they aren't working in my IE though, not sure where to configure for file type right off.

 

Edit: was able to update Quicktime, and they play in IE in new tab now also.

I'll have to jump on the PC then. I do everything from the iPhone these days. Oh well, thanks for checking OS.

No doubt. Spots is the man! Always glad to pass on his skills to others and lend a hand when needed.
