Members Eddie Collins Posted December 6, 2011 Members Report Posted December 6, 2011 Earl and I junior rodeo'd during the 60's. I have a lot of memories of Globe, the Bacons and an era which too few folks had the opportunity to experience. Ed and Earl are great craftsmen and I've known of their shop since I was a little boy. I worked at N. Porters under Guy Reidhead while I was in high school and I worked several years for Wm N. Porters while in high school and college. Believe it or not, some of what I was exposed to actually stuck, LOL!!!! But if any of my Porter's need work, I'll be doing it myself. Again, welcome to the forum...you'll love it here!!!! Bobby Globe reminds me of the Isa Smelter at Miami, jackhammering the brick out, with all that heat and full face respirators. But, I love the little Mexican cafe, called Chalos, I usually stay at the El Ray Motel or Motel 6 when I work at those shutdowns at the Smelter. This is where I met an old saddlemaker and his son. They had some old geometric stamps, no name on the shaft of the tool, so I don't know who made it. Nice place to visit, alot of history there. Quote
