Buck men at work

Early, Thanks. I enjoy using it and on splinters it really digs them out. All framing is now complete and time to start covering it with tin. DM
 
Just a suggestion. Swap out the framing that is touching the ground for pressure treated.

Nice job and nice knife.
 
Thanks. There is some treatment on the front, bottom board. All the bottom boards will get it before I'm done. DM
 
Thanks for the nice pics David! Is that building where you are going to dry all of your furs?
 
I guess I will have to since no one else is, that is, point out in the photograph how Mr. Martin is standing on a tapering small bucket, and pounding a nail with the back of a hatchet.

So much for that yearly safety seminar he is required to attend.....

I noticed the same things....I even wondered if maybe it was on purpose to see if anyone would call him out. David typically notices small details in photos. I may have to print the pic and put it on the Safety Wall at work.
 
Yup, All that wiggly balancing whacking with the back of that hatchet and a nice step ladder is 10 feet away..........let me figure, he is how many miles away from an emergency room......get out the sewing thread honey......
 
"Don't do as I do, do as I say do there young un!" Quote by my grandfather many years ago to a gangly 12 year old whipper snapper.

I could see standing on the bucket and swinging the hatchet like that, but I was shocked he wasn't wearing a safety harness!!
 
So, it was 300 that mentioned it first. I was in a 'Normal Handy Man' mode. For driving 40d or 60d ring shank a hatchet gives much more efficient transfer of weight and momentum to the nail head. Even when the hammer and hatchet are equal weight. It's because of more metal up front. The wooden blocks were convenient for one more nail. Besides some know I married Betsy Ross. After an encounter with something and things run amok I merely get in line with the dogs or horse for a sewing up. She's gotten good at it thru the years. Only this year I've noticed the dog isn't as willing to hunt with me. Glad my Buck knife still tags along. DM
 
In sixth grade I had a 4 blade scout knife that the teacher used to borrow to sharpen pencils. Ah, the good old days.
