I gotta get in on this. Whats a fella gotta do.

I had to remove part of my liver and get it cryogenically frozen for safe-keeping and give it to hotmetal so that once his fails, he will have a spare one to work off.

That was for one of the openers.


You don't even wanna know what I had to do for some of the others..... *shakes head in shame*

 

[Os]

how do I get one of these?

I actually brought mine to VT but never took it out of my bag

 

[Os]

I actually brought mine to VT but never took it out of my bag

Oh, for shame. But I understand you might scare some of those folks up there with such a massive tool.

 

[regularjohn]

he could have just told them its for slicing and dicing blocks of cheese in half, plus it can be a make shift fork if you don't stab yourself in the tongue

They can be dangerous in the wrong hands... Everything turned out fine.

 

[hotmetal]

WTF? Was that done by a W/S? If so that sux and hope they are ok.

 

[regularjohn]

sweet jesus, they must've been drunk and in a hurry to get that wax off

 

[LawIsTheUT]

WTF? Was that done by a W/S? If so that sux and hope they are ok.

Shenanigans were involved. Happened a couple of months ago. As I said, everything is fine, just pay attention if you're drinking and trying to throw it like a knife. Didn't happen to me, but to a guy I know. The barb caught his finger on the swing around to throw it. All very dumb, no fault of yours.

 

[hotmetal]

That's why I don't like to sharpen the blade part. I can put a bevel on it an not sharpen it. People think that's what you cut the wax with but I use the barbs. Did he say "Hold my beer." before trying to throw it?

 

[acurtis]

Finally found a place to keep my waleslayer

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

How we doing on the list? Can't wait to get mine!!! Cant' be more excite!!!

 

[hotmetal]

 

[nanobrew1]

[hotmetal]

I'm making 15 of these for one order.

 

[Os]

I need a dagger or ax already!

 

[LawIsTheUT]

How are things coming along? Hope all is well.

 

[gpawned]

I messed with it before I went to AT. I just got back. I'm going have to make a new tool to cut the holes in it

Any update?

hotmetal is a busy guy. He's probably defending freedom, pounding a pabst blue ribbon, or forging steel somewhere.

why do those have to be mutually exclusive events?

 

[disapowzment]

I picture my hotmetal as an eagle, soaring high in the clouds breathing fire. One claw holding the American flag, while the other holding a PBR (because this is MERICA and it's paint scheme looks American).

 

[deepsouth1]

these are fantastic.

 

[hotmetal]

Any update?

I'll make a pic of another one that I screwed up and post it tomorrow. This one has been a royal pain in the butt. I'll get it, I've about figured it out.

Funny, I remember when I sent you the picture you said you didn't think it would be hard to make! 8 months later, I'm still on the edge of my seat. Such trials will only make me love it more. Meanwhile, I've been happily using the extra mace, cause it is freakin' awesome. I figured I'd send you that thank you box once I got the final opener, but I feel bad, since I never expected it to take you this long! Sorry!

 

[Os]

so jelly!!!

 

[regularjohn]

i am completely obsessed with this whaleslayer, thanks again hotmetal and 1987GN LYMI

No problem, the mace is my favorite opener that I've done. I did think this would be easy but every time I try I screw it up some way.

Wait, so you have a hotmetal opener already and you've waited 8 months for another one?

 

[gpawned]

Yes, I do, though it wasn't on purpose. He made 2 openers for my groomsman as gifts and they got lost in the mail, so he quickly replaced them, sent those just in time and they made it the day before the wedding. Then a couple weeks later the first ones finally showed up. Meanwhile, my opener has been a pain in the ass to make, it seems.

 

[Os]

I'm still waiting for my first!

 

[gpawned]

I'm still waiting for my first!

What are you getting?

 

[Os]

What are you getting?

lol... I'm actually not on the waiting list as I haven't spoken directly

 

[Der Fuchs]

lol... I'm actually not on the waiting list as I haven't spoken directly

Ha, You must be right behind me. You didn't blow up his inbox before the list came out begging for one?








I did...

 

[gpawned]

lol... I'm actually not on the waiting list as I haven't spoken directly

Good luck! I may end up finding a better home for the extra whale slayer once my custom opener arrives. Three hotmetal openers is probably excessive for one person. But it is so awesome, it will be hard to part with.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

What are you getting?

I'm on the list and hoping for either a Whale Slayer or Banhammer.

 

[gpawned]

If you decide you definitely want a whale slayer, let me know...
