Congratulations Carley! Well deserved. My Sugar is on it's way back to me after getting a new sheath. It's going to be my EDC for the summer.

Ms. Carley Perkins of Darlington Edgeworks has officially graduated from the Fiddleback Forge apprentice program.

I am incredibly proud of her.

High praise indeed coming from Andy.

I'd like to ask, though, I thought it was Edgecraft?

Lol. You are correct. Carley corrected me yesterday.

Could I suggest editing the thread title then?

LOL, I think with all he is up against right now, Andy is likely the only person that I personally know with less idle free time than I have, I'm sure he'll get around to fixing it at some point. Carley will likely point that out too, as I'm sure any of us would

Heck, I misspelled the name of his knife model yesterday in the wild garlic thread I posted in the W&SS section, and left the second U out of Boudreaux. And if Andy hand't pointed that out to me, I may have never noticed with everything else I have going on....

Lol, that's just the sort of stuff that happenes when you have almost more irons in the fire than are humanly possible to manage, but have no choice, at least in your own mind, than to work them all as best you can anyway. You mess up sometimes, and sometimes it takes a minute to get back to those mistakes when you're trying to not make any mistakes at all in other more critical areas...

That's actually a literal description of the last 10 years of my life, so I get it Thanks to God, I've finally made it out the other side of the most intense of those challenges, and in a much better space today

Knowing what he's up against right now, I pray for Andy every day, for God to give him the strength and the mind power to sort all of it as best as can be done.

I must be out of the loop. Whatever it is, I also pray God helps him.

Thanks, I'm sure he won't mind the extra prayers. This is the link to the thread.

Big news. Y'all need to know. Feel free to ask questions. Like every challenge I have faced I'll face it head on. I'm honored to make knives for y'all.

Edited to add: Well I made a video to explain all this and couldn't get it to load anything but the thumbnail here on BF for some reason. So here is whats going on.

The man I sub lease from here in Norcross is getting evicted from his space. (I've never missed or been late for a rent payment ever.) I found this out Monday morning. We have till the 30th to be completely moved out. Meanwhile the building in Mississippi was supposed to...

My Osage Valkyrie guardless. This thing feels amazing. Y’all need to get some.

She does nice work. I think she's a perfect addition to the calendar project
