I think the photos are great. Please post as many as you can. I made the same request over on the Norte Tejas get together forum

Is it OK if I put them on Harvey's HarveyLacey.com Norte Tejas get together page?

Thanks for being there and sharing your photos -- they really do look great to me, can't get too many. Have a couple of bites of that great food for me tomorrow too.

Looking for more information about the get to gather

Leo, of course I don't care who uses them, but bgoodman is so much better photographer than I that I can't imagine why anyone would use mine if they have his.

I think Bird protesteth too much. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Mikim (Mike) and his wife showed up about the same time as BGoodman (Bobby). Then Bird and his brother in law came in. ROTR (Ron) visited and worked and so did Jinman (Jim). Hayseed (Michael) dropped in and gave my wife his video camera along with instructions on how to use it. He's got four kids and soccer games out the wazzoo tomorrow. We had him sign the map today just in case he couldn't get here tomorrow in time.

It was a fun day. First I put a sheet on some horses and guesstimated an arc.

Mikim and Bgoodman using an antique steel tire roller. It was a match made in heaven. They'd made a blacksmith a hundred years ago prouder'n peaches as helpers. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And it worked.

They made a matched pair with about a thirty six inch diameter.

I got the distinct impression they were having fun. But from my perspective work was done, and appreciated very very much.

Then Jinman showed up and the three of them tackled making the spacer bar for the Texas TBN map.

ROTR, (Ron) is the blacksmith. Here he's laying out the spokes for the wheel.

Here's the wheel with the spokes in place.
