Survive the up coming economic crisis/ thank you Mike

[Guest guest]

This is so cool.

Your picture shows how easy it is to make a small blade forage and how

anyone who wanted to recycle an old break drum could make one.

This is the kind info that is as good as gold. Thank you so much for

this vital information. I love it. Rock on!!!!!

Hi Bryan,

 

I'll send some ideas to you as I think of them...

 

blade forge...

 

take a large brake drum/// car or truck

 

attach a plumbing flange to the bottom of it... then a 2 or 3

inch pipe... with a t...

 

one part goes straight down to some sort of floor

mounting..perhaps another flange

 

the other part goes 90 degrees to a squirrel cage fan...

 

let me try to use the keys to make a sketch of sorts

Mike,

 

Welding sounds great. Yeah I have thought of wells and water pumps. I

don't know that much about it but when I lived in New Mexico We had a

windmill that pumped water all day long. It was like an oasis in the

high mountain desert that plants and crops grew everywhere around it.

Self defense and evasion I have had some training in and Blade making

has always been a goal of mine. I need to build a forge and smith

shop. It would be so fun taking car parts (like leaf

springs)

and making tools and plows. My grandfather reinvented the wheel for the

model T fords. It would be cool to make the wooden wheels too.

How about barrel making, bullet making and better ways of recycling?

Blowing glass, Firing brick and pottery.

So much to learn. What would your list look like including the things

we have already mentioned ? ¢¯

Bryan,

 

your list sounds a lot like mine....

 

did you put some welding in there?

how to make simple:

water pumps

water filtration systems..

shelters

evasion

self defense

blade making

 

the stone house one sounds great...old stone techniques make

sense as they are mortarless and still stay in place ... course clay

soil would be great too

 

wind power ideas?

 

ahhh so much to learn...Mike
