Bruce, Glad to see some more knives by you. Sorry to hear you still have to get more treatments. Hope this next go around isn't as bad as the last one.
 
Thanks for the great comments...

Ray,I hope not also,I am trying to stay in the shop as much as I can,even if I dont feel good.
Bruce
 
Bruce,
Great stuff as always. Hope all turns out well wit your health.
Prayers sent,
Matt Doyle
 
Those knives are looking pretty darn good there Bruce! And thanks for the info Coop. I have a Sony DSC-F505V that I paid way more for that that to have repaired, after the wonderful Airport security forced me to put it thru the x-ray. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
 
Thanks for the comments guys:D Glad to see I havent lost it all yet while being sick....

The file blade found a home on one of my local law enforcment officers belt this weekend,That was cool.He came to the shop wanting me to design a small self defense blade for the guys here in town,That is also cool,More on that later in the week....We were doing some cutting tests with that knife,like hanging rope,all I had was some of that green and white nylon type rope from Lowes,about a 3/4 inch or little bigger.clean cuts on it he thought that was cool:D :D He started slicing heavey soul leather with it and after about 30 cuts 8 inches long got tired and the blade was still as sharp as when he started,if it would have still been daylight out I would have set up water bottels and a 2X4 and some old dry cowbones for him to play with also...But we will try that another day:cool:

Thanks again for all the great comments.
Bruce
 
Oh yea I also started looking at cameras this weekend,Gotta take better pic's....Still not sure if I want to trust the ones on ebay,thay sem to be priced aweful low for what they are.Anybody here buy one off there with good results?
Bruce
 
Bruce,

Sure. They are always my first stop for electronics. Even if they are not the cheapest between the customer reviews and detailed specs the site is very helpful. Have you had a chance to work with the cru-wear I sent you? Just wondering if you found it to be as much of a pain to work as I did. Best wishes for thyroid treatment my brother went through that so I know it can be a real bad deal to go through.
