Nicely done Pitchy!

I suspect that most of us forum members have "been there, done that". I sure didn't have any problem recognizing what that "artwork" was meant to convey. Fortunately, it's been many years since I've prayed to the "porcelain god".

Nice work Pitchy.

Thanks guys.

If I was a younger man, I'd buy all of Pitchy's metallic artwork......sure glad he gave me the BAR man...... for real, this stuff is gonna be worth big bucks one day.

A couple of guys came over last week and spied the BAR man through the bay window and said, "what's that?" "That's the coolest thing I ever saw!". -------6

Glad ya like it and glad your enjoying the BAR man.

Ohhhhh, my. It's an ode to college excesses, when the cool porcelain on one's forehead felt so good.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 9:12 am

I`m starting to feel bad I brought up so many ill memories.

3leggedturtle · Post by **3leggedturtle** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 11:27 am

Lol to cool, no bad memories for me, just a few funny ones. Took a pic of a guy hugging the porcelain god who passed out and had the most joyful smile on his face... Todd/3leg
At Ft. Wainwright after we got back from 10 days in the bush...

Pitchy, that puller is an awesome tool. First one I have seen.

Dang....look at the guns on Pitchy.....and you're gonna need them with that spike puller....

Post by **Ysabel Kid** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 8:33 pm

That's perfect!

Those would sell like hotcakes - on any college campus in the country!!!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Aug 04, 2017 5:40 am

Thanks fellars, I`m getting pretty heavy, weighed myself yesterday and right at 300 pounds

Yep I`ve seen pictures like that, they sure left a lot of them on this old grade.

Old Ironsights asked if I`d make something JD for a gift for a relative, he is coming for a visit in a couple days.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 3:22 pm

Incredible Lenn!
Just beautiful work, my friend! You have incredible talent and imagination.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 3:24 pm

Thanks buddy.

Old Ironsights · Post by **Old Ironsights** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 10:22 am

Thanks Pitchy!

My FiL is an old Minnesoota farm boy from the general area and I thought something from Pitchy would be an appropriate gift for his 50th anniversary.

And, of course, Pitchy put together something amazing from his pile of parts.

I'm looking forward to dropping by in a few hours.

Had a real nice time visiting with Old Ironsights and his wife, thanks for coming guys.
Took them for the rounds of all the stuff we`ve built and looked over some guns.

Old Ironsights · Post by **Old Ironsights** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:17 pm

Thanks Pitchy!

We felt right comfortable in your place in the woods.

Nice talking and getting to see all of the stuff you haven't shared yet.

The tractor is cool, the chow was great, and the other gift is quite special. A fine Christian thing to do. And seeing your Matchlock up close was a real treat.

As long as the weather holds cool and rainy we shouldn't have any troubles with the car until we can get it into my in-law's garage.

Next stop, Somaliland MN...

Say something fellars, wife and I spent all day making this just to post it here for you guys, it ain`t worth doing if no one replies.

jazman · Post by **jazman** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 6:34 pm

Man, I don't know what I like best, the spike guys or the little piston guys! Just outstanding work Pitchy (and Mrs. Pitchy), just flat great!
Keep up the good work, it always brings a smile to my face and lately I need all the smiles I can get!

Another good one Pitchy. I know you sent me a pic today, but I like to comment here too.
Like I told you earlier......looks like one badazz hombre. The bronc looks like it could be trouble too.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Aug 23, 2017 6:49 am

Thanks guys we appreciate it.

Didn`t turn out exactly like I wanted but I`m not very artistic, had to make one with some guns on it.
