Great idea!
2 years agoWell .. that's one way to spend time and money!
Wouldn't be my choice ... and I can imagine the participants come away with a sense of camaraderie and some beefed-up problem solving skills and confidence.
A handsome bovine!
2 years agoYeah! You usually post a photo of your haircut. This is an important bi-annual event for your readers! LOL:)
2 years agoLooks like old leaded glass! Lead came is the metal that holds the glass. It is soldered together. My sister used to do stained glass till she got lead poisoning.

Okay, I'll let the Texans have it. This is eclectically cool.
2 years agoMy grandma had a mangle in her basement, attached to the washer. I've never seen one with wooden rollers though! If I saw one of these in Asia I would think, "Sugar cane juice!" because it's basically the same mechanism.
2 years agoYup, looks like a mangle for squeezing water out of washed clothing. My mother apparently had one in the early years of her marriage (just post war) and accidentally ran her finger into it when distracted by me (Dodie). The finger was never the same after.

I got a walk-in spot at "The Man Cave" barber shop in Missoula. The owner / barber (a woman) told me she'd chosen the name to discourage female patrons. "They're just too fussy, as a rule." she explained. This looks like The Outlaw may have adopted a similar strategy.
2 years agoThose are pretty hefty leaf springs! I wonder whether some Model T somewhere is missing a vital suspension component? :)
2 years agoIt sure gives a graphic form to the expression "put through the wringer", doesn't it?
2 years agoAnd where's the picture of the haircut?
2 years agoGreat! I’ve never heard of these, but I found several images of hand-cranked mangles now that I know what I’m looking for. That must be the detached crank handle on the ground, and the wood is the rotting rollers.
