Very sorry news Gary, sincere condolences my friend.

Sorry to hear, GT.

Very sorry to hear about your pet Gary. They are in many ways like our children and it really hurts when they leave.

I really enjoy short films that show masters practicing their craft. I thought some folks here might find this one interesting:

It shows someone making a wooden basket, starting with felling a tree. As you might expect, a variety of knives are used in the process.

- wonderful, Greg..........I enjoyed that

Forgive me, guys, if you've seen before..........I enjoyed this one too

His earlier ones pretty excellent as well...

Sorry to hear about Stella, GT.

 

[WhittlinAway]

Thanks for sharing those videos, Paul. I enjoyed watching the tools come to shape.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Gary.

Oh Gary.....
Mate, I'm terribly sorry to see that you lost your wee Stella- what a little sweetheart.
In such a sad time a massive positive can be taken that you gave that wee thing all the love in the World- What a wonderful gift to give someone!

Sad news Gary, my friend. The heart aches to lose a beloved animal companion. I know you must have given a great life to Stella, and have many happy memories of her to share with your family.

The ice finally left my pond and the ducks were happy, until the blizzard this morning... Mr Wood Duck is not impressed.

Took a ride through the Village of Camillus today and pulled over to take this picture. It's still hard to believe Camillus Cutlery is gone.

Looking for the "commiserate" button. "Like" isn't quite right.

Gone but not forgotten...300

Hmmmmm! I could have some good dreams living in that old factory!!
Viewing the glass as half-full, it's nice to see the building providing homes for people instead of rats, or worse, burning down!! I hope they have the history preserved in their lobby and orientation materials!
Gone but not forgotten!! Thanks for the picture, Gary!!
This morning I finished putting my Camillus collection away, temporarily. I'm going to use the display case at the Oregon show. I marvelled at each knife, as I put them to bed in cigar boxes. Wonderful patterns, great jigged bone, crispy action; tons of soul in those boxes!!
Gives me a chance to arrange an even better display when I return!! Meantime, this case will be home to a nice collection of Boys' Knives for a while!!
Rest peacefully, Camillus!!
