    hi folks,
    Have been lurking for a week or two but thought I'd better make myself known.

    I'm based near Invercargill - hunt with a .308 T3.

    I'm a blacksmith by trade (part-time now around my 'real' job that pays the bills) - just getting back into making a knife or two - there's some people doing good work on here I see.

    Simon

    Welcome Simon. Black smithing is a hard but honest way to earn a crust.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    thanks - no - but we tend to all recognise each other's work; that "I'm sorry I don't know your name but I recognise the work" line.
