I have always had a longing to have a go at blacksmithing but never really had the chance. Do you want an apprentice? Whacking Hot metal with a hammer appeals to me

Hello!
Im sure Lightning will be in, in a while to make some smutty remark regarding pounding your hot metal.
I advise you in advance that he will also probably require a picture of you topless, possibly preferably in your blacksmiths outfit.
He is a top bloke and wont bite unless you ask him
Do you prefer marmite (
) or ---> ***Nutella*** <--- ( ) ?

[B]Skulduggery:[/B] Hmm, rivers...not realy, lots of small lakes though (it was a part of the watersupply for the Silvermine when it was in use). The closest place otherwise would be Västerås, and that next to the lake mälaren (quite enough for a houseboat i promise).
Picture? of who???

Whilst looking for a Metal Spider chair that I saw for sale at Womad a few years ago I came across this spider. I liked him so much I thought I'd bring him here to share with you.

I love his legs!

What? OMG good or OMG bad?
I have an urge when I buy my boat to get someone to make me a big spider that will look like its climbing over the top of it. Only problem is the weight tipping the boat if it isn't balanced perfectly. If I get an iron hulled boat I'm sure the weight shouldn't be too much of a problem.... maybe

OMG! COOL!
What kind of a boat? a small one i gather if it will capsize from a spider. Don't make the spider so high up or maybe you could use aluminium? most of a thing like that will be welded anyway, so go for a lighter material. Or give the boat a bigger keel, or just a keel if it does'nt have one.
BTW, for some other freaky stuff, thats on fire, check my newly uploaded pics in my gallery.
