[19:07] fair enough I reckon. I forgot the chat starts 7 central time, not eastern [19:08] [Owlhawk] lol.easy enough to do. I tend to log in early and leave it running in the background. [19:09] that's why I like having multiple screens [19:12] [Owlhawk] I'm on the wife's laptop so I'm using the 19" lcd since I'm to lazy to replace her screen.

[20:02] no idea [20:05] working on anything fun? [20:05] [Owlhawk] What do you want to talk about? this is meant to be on advanced studies [20:07] [Owlhawk] I've finally started on Brewing Second Circle [20:15] i've always been curious about the brewers guild. how much is applied versus book? [20:16] [Owlhawk] The study program? it's a mixture. The thing about brewing is the book work makes you a better brewer [20:16] *** Chelly (Mibbit@a687a871.cpe.net.cable.f33844f1.com.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:17] makes sense [20:17] although i don't think anything would make me a better brewer. i hate washing dishes :P [20:18] [Owlhawk] meh. [20:19] I thought about joining the brewers guild, but I was told distillates aren't allowed. [20:19] [Owlhawk] they are illegal [20:19] not everywhere [20:20] but yes, I understand why they are not allowed. [20:21] my family may or may not have been involved in the illegal production of alcohol at various points in history [20:22] [Owlhawk] Al Capone came to my county to drink. And buy his stuff [20:22] knoxville TN? [20:24] [Owlhawk] no, Grey and Bruce County in Ontario. I think it was shipped across Huron [20:25] ah, Canadian whiskey. my folks were all Appalachian moonshiners [20:25] [Owlhawk] yup. [20:28] so, what advanced topic should we talk about? [20:29] [Owlhawk] What are you working on? [20:30] I'm forging a hybrid long saex. [20:32] [Owlhawk] awesome. [20:32] [Owlhawk] You will be posting pics when it's done I hope? [20:32] it's got the blade profile of a long seax, but curved back like a shaska and a recurved french grip. it handles about like a spartan spatha [20:32] of course [20:33] it's got a solid steel ravens head pommel. I spent as much time making it as I did the blade [20:33] [Owlhawk] It sounds gorgogeous [20:37] it's a bit heavy for a short sword. I used 1095 high carbon steel for the blade, but I dont have the equipment to heat treat thin profile blades. That would require a proper kiln, so I have to use my forge to heat the blade to critical temps which leaves surface scale that I have to grind off. a thin blade would just disentigrate if I tried to heat treat it i [20:39] [Owlhawk] Well you certainly have your work figured out. [20:39] applied metalurgy [20:39] I suppose that counts as an advance topic ;) [20:40] [Owlhawk] Blacksmith is an ancient and honoured magical art. [20:41] [Owlhawk] It definitely fits my definition of advanced, considering I can't do it [20:42] It is indeed. I forged the blade on May 1st in a spring shower, and quenched the blade in the casing from a naval artillery shell. [20:43] [Owlhawk] Well done. a promising blade then [20:43] The pommel was ground out of a broken hatchet head, and the guard was cast from a custom bronze alloy I've made specifically for magic blades [20:45] I mix in red brick dust, powdered quartz crystal, chopped white dove feathers, and .999 fine silver [20:45] [Owlhawk] You would enjoy chatting with Helmut. He's Kaleidoscope Gatherings resident master smith [20:45] [Owlhawk] wow on the working [20:46] I would enjoy chatting with a master smith. I'm barely a journeyman [20:48] But I like to mix magic in with my smithing, which is not something that most smiths I've talked to would be comfortable with [20:50] [Owlhawk] He did a class at KG a few years ago on the magic of metals. I couldn't make it but wish I could [20:51] I'm not familiar with KG [20:52] [Owlhawk] Kaleidoscope Gathering. It's a large canadian festival [20:53] Canada is a bit of a trek for us Virginians [20:53] [Owlhawk] True enough [20:53] [Owlhawk] That's why I won't make many ADF fests beyond wellsprings [20:54] And wellspring is about as far afield as I usually go [20:54] [Owlhawk] You going this year? [20:54] of course. [20:55] the blade I'm working on is for the artisans competion [20:56] [Owlhawk] Good luck then. I won't make Wellsprings this year [20:56] that's a pity [20:58] [Owlhawk] price of getting a new job at the end of march [20:58] I understand. I didnt make it to the first two wellsprings after I joined ADF [21:00] so what do you brew? [21:00] [Owlhawk] on the plus side I know have a Bus license [21:00] nice [21:00] [Owlhawk] Beer and Mead. I took 1st and 3rd at Wellsprings last year [21:01] I didn't get to sample any of the entry's last year [21:02] [Owlhawk] Tpo bad. I've set my entry for this year aside for next year.
