Rocky, you should have weighed the hammers standing upright on the scales, that way gravity can act in line with the handle.

Most perplexing. Interest looks low so to the backburner for now she will go. Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram

They have been good customers previously and have paid for the croc already so its just gotta happen. Along with a few other bags I have to get done this week and way tooooo many bloody belts to even think about as well. You shore you don't need a workin holiday? BTW I think I might have to disappear off LW for a bit. Best wishes to you and all. Brian Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Members Clintock Posted June 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted June 25, 2018 Got a little scale on the "weigh". Pretty sure the tensions are around 5-6 hammers but we'll see. Being swamped in leatherwork isn't really a bad thing. At least you're inside. Being swamped in dirt work is a different story.

'Bout ONE MORE rain, and you can bring your equipment up here and PUSH WATER. "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Clintock Posted June 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted June 25, 2018 @JLSleather same way down here in south Alabama. At least you don't have heat index of 112° f today. Sweat pooling in yer boots. Have I mentioned it's hot?? Look there at demopolis. Swear I seen a lizard toting a leaf fer shade.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted June 25, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted June 25, 2018 NO HEAT index. My little girl irritated she can't swim cuz the water TOO COLD. Meanwhile.. you southern boys must sit in the shade on day like this comin' up with some new "sayin's" ... "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members dikman Posted June 25, 2018 Members Report Posted June 25, 2018 Pity we're not nearer, Brian, I'd be only too happy to help out. Sounds like some long days ahead for you.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted June 25, 2018 Moderator Report Posted June 25, 2018 I think we can say that this topic has been explained to death; by dangling hammers and fish scales.
