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.

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 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.

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

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