great photos keep them coming. richard sorin over on ironhistory.com recently posted pics of himself lifting the 150 lb and 200 lb zuver plates. he didn't want then used anywhere else without permission.
That's ok. Richard and I both have a large amount of photos. He nor I need permission to show them.
Here is one of him at my place playing with one of my big boy plates. What's the good of haveing great photos if there not seen by interested eyes. Most people will never see or touch one of the historic Zuver Plates in person. I hope as a great collector of historic iron Richard will show the real public, the beginner, the new guy what true iron history is. The members of Ironhistory are a close net club who all ready know the history. Most are pros that have been around the game for many years. There's nothing wrong with that but the iron history game is dying because the big boys of yesterday don't want to be bothered by the newbie's of today. The younger generation's need to hear the story's from us all or Iron History will be lost forever. They don't want to have to sell there mother to get to read a website. Come on guys, tell the stories, teach the kid's down the block, don't make them beg to hear the truth by making them have special pass words or making them feel like there not welcome because there not experienced like some of us. That's what I'm trying to teach. That's why I'm spending my time on this site and on Draper's site. Some of the future strongmen of tommorow have been contacting me lately about where they can learn more, where they fit in. Guess where I tell them to go??? A good site needs to be fun. Not just a place for a bunch of old farts to flap there lips amoung themselves.
Hope some of you guys agree with me. Sorry, ill get back to posting some new pics and stories soon.
Thanks For listening.
