For Fishermen and other liars

santos · Feb 8, 2009

Some fishermen here are so lucky to catch sheep eating trouts. There are lots of liars among fishermen, and not only here in Europe.

I have still to wait four weeks for the opening of trout season, and my graver helps to calm my impatience cutting some â€œsalmo trutta â€œin a titanium plate . The plate is 1,5 X 3 cm and is large enough to engrave the kind of trout I catch hereâ€¦
Truly, there are no much fishes above 25 cm in my trout streams.

Moi................a liar about sheep eating trout.................never!!!

While I was in Reno at the Safari Club show a man selling mink coats was asking me about the trout fishing in New Zealand. Apparantley a Kiwi had told him that when you pull a trout out of a lake in New Zealand, the lake water level drops by 12 inches..................now that is a straight out lie!!!

The lake actually drops by 18 inches!!!

Cheers

Thanks Andrew,
I needed that

Maybe a good idea to catch all those fishes to drop the entire sealevel a bit!

Nice fish Santos!

santos, my friend- in pennsylvania where i live, a 25 cm fish would be used for bait !! at least in the taverns where i used to drink.

Thanks for your coments,

Andrew ,

Titanium can be anodized and the resultant colour depends on value of electric current .

I explained the process in an old post :

You canâ€™t got black colour with anodization.
In this one the dark points are made by EDE ( Electrical Discharge Engraving) . EDE is something like EDM Iâ€™m trying for engraving. The electrode is a graphite lead of 2 mm sharpened.

thanks. i checked that out. will give it a try. titanium can be a danger if overheated. i was to have engraved titanium plates for a funeral director. they were cor cremains. someone found that such tags of titanium, when exposed to the temperatures of cremation could explode or otherwise wreak havoc, so i never ended doing the tags.
