Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

Just a friendly reminder these knives are for “Preview” not “Pre-sale”.






This weeks BTS thread is going to be aimed at what has been going on around here this week and less focused on the knives.


First off Monday’s glue-up and the products we use.

Here is what Andy wanted me to focus on. He is super excited to be building a table for the shop He hopes to have it done before the Guild meeting we are hosting this weekend.

Ivy wanted a little Play time! before lunch. She goes insane over the measuring tape.

Sorry, It's hard to hold the camera, tape & get a good photo but you get the drift

More to come as we progress on the table or I spot some cool knives…

Thanks for looking!
 
Great thread this week. I kept scrolling...looking for the mandatory Ivy pics. And...there they were.

I want that shirt Allen is wearing in the last pic. In black, with a white or red spider. Or I'd be happy with Ivy.

I think we are all out of those. They are from BLADE 2015.

We can't get rid of our Chief Shop Dawg
 
thanks
ill let you know when I finish up-scaling the Bullseye tubes.

I've got an idea, a lathe, and some hard maple scraps! A dangerous combination... How thick is the table top?
 
Thanks for the review Phillip. Cool table and as usual some that I will find very hard to resist. Hint- I'm pining for a 3/32 Ironwood Handyman.

@Chris OKT - Give up the cancer sticks. Never felt better after I gave up that habit.

"Distressed" wood, indeed! :D


For some reason, I find this the cutest picture of Ivy yet, her little shape and proportions. What a great little (serious!) dog. :)


Cool looking table, looks like bog oak! :thumbup::D

that's how they make their bog oak knife scales. It's just pine 2x4's spray painted black.

Well Happy Birthday! Here's hoping there's a nice blue Sylvrfalcen or something of the nature that you'd fancy. :encouragement: :positive:
