Shazmira Posted July 21, 2013 #224 Posted July 21, 2013 Like I keep telling Craig (the same age as you Randy) you are only as old as you ALLOW yourself to be. I for one, refuse to consider myself old. I am sure my students look at me and think I am ancient, but you know what...I have done, and seen things they can only imagine....some I would not wish on my worst enemy, but others...makes me sad to think so many of these kids will never really experience the world and all it has to share with them. So many are content to just stay in their own little corner of the world and never venture out, or open their eyes (or their minds)to the soooo much more that is out there. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with those who intend to just keep working the family farm, or work the family business....I am happy to see that kind of life is still alive and well, but I wish I had the power to show them more, just so they could say been there done that, and then go work. lamarvalley 1 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

DesertWolf Posted July 21, 2013 #225 Posted July 21, 2013 Hi Randy Hope you had a fantastic birthday. If I got a penny for each time I tried to blacken something that wasn't properly cleaned I'd have... well, uhh.. a couple of pennies I guess. Sometimes I feel like I spend more time cleaning up mistakes than making actual progress. Hang in there! lamarvalley 1 Quote Wolf Current build : San Francisco II (AL)

michael mott Posted July 23, 2013 #230 Posted July 23, 2013 It seems, lately, that I spend more time redoing things than doing them right the first time... hmmm... Welcome to my world Randy. Interesting method on the hooks. If I might be so bold perhaps if you used a thicker piece of copper wire and tapered the hook end with a file, and annealed and flattened the thick end you could eliminate the soldering, and get a nice taper toward the hook. It is just a suggestion to try , I am not trying to tell you how to build your model, which is looking great.

themadchemist Posted July 23, 2013 #232 Posted July 23, 2013 wow, getting caught up on my log reading is gonna be a chore. Philosophy and ship building. Its interesting how few people live in the NOW. My issues have made this more of a challenge, but I agree on the importance of grabbing life and living it, whatever the hand dealt. Age is just a number, belated happy bday BTW, and when I taught I connected more with the students then the staff. The key to staying young is to think young. Experience makes this even more fun, if one doesn't let it become a trap. Thats one of the things I miss most about teaching. I loved students seeing my human side. At 35 if someone would have told me I'd teach HS I'd have NEVER believed it, but by 40 it had happened. We so never see the miracles that occur daily, unless we're paying attention. More nice metal work, I quite like the hand build over the kit stuff. My swift was suppose to have a single bend wire, ICK! I'll soon be doing metal work. Ferit and lamarvalley 2 Quote
