Bishwakarma puja -- pix 8. Pala and Uncle Bill bless khukuris.

[Bill Martino]

After the kamis have blood blessed all the khukuris both complete and in progress Pala offers an old Gorkha blessing. Uncle Bill offers his own brand of American-Nepali Buddhist blessing. The kamis believe that blood blessing is the only thing that works but tolerate the somewhat unortodox blessings put up by me. They are very tolerant of their Buddhist brothers and extend special consideration to be for obvious reasons.

It appears to be a small adz.

Hi All,
If we're talking about the second picture...
Howard is spot on. Although, that isn't a bench, it's a tool chest.

I think I see it but my eyes are not good enough to be sure.
