Morning y'all!

Rolf, I have a small dog that will creep up closer and higher on the bed, gets kicked and shoved but he does not give up! I'd lose a more than sleep if we had a cat in the house, my body has decided I do not like to be around them. I'm severely allergic!


Make it great fellas!

I woke up at 4am this morning (after going to bed at 2) - unable to breathe. As it turns out, because my 50lb foxhound had climbed into bed, and laid across my chest.

Just punch me in the shoulder if you see me nodding off.

Also - over 2000 posts in this thread. Yeah!

Yo! Good morning guys!

Rolf I got the Yumoto book on swords for my B-day, my wife was listening closely! :) Very good book... Take care of that Kitty!

Liamstrain - wake up! lol I wound up staying up and fell asleep early yesterday. 2K!

Kevin - email incoming.. your heat treat and testing is looking very good, nice work! That tip test was especially nice. :cool:

Xander - email incomng!

I'm running a bit behind on emails... I don;t like to send off a quick answer on things as I like to look things over and take my time with important stuff... and I consider almost all important... so I am running late and do apologize!

NYCKS this weekend, you guys that are there enjoy the show!

Enjoy the day!
 
Yo!

Got some shop time yesterday, reworked an old kamisori. Added a sharpening cut, reshaped handle, shortened edge, reset the bevels too. Still a bit harsh of a shave, but not too bad need more time at the upper grits.

A somewhat rare and sought after Crosman 1861 Shiloh Co2 bb/pellet pistol for $5.00! This is how I bought it, and it's only missing a couple of small parts like screws and assembly pins. These were made only from '81-'83 and modeled after the Remington 1861 pistol. Should be a fun build!

Xander the Kamisori looks great! ...gets me thinking... People say you can't really tell the grain size of ht'd steel but I find once I go to the high grits and shave there is a massive difference.

Nice score on the gun too! I've been doing some shooting lately... pine trees look out!

FBC may the cut heal soon! Thanks again for sending me those pics, your HT regimen and testing looks excellent. I cut the heck out of myself this weekend cleaning my yard, lol tomato cage got me good. tomato cage?

Rolf - shobu -zukuri! ...reminds me I have a shobu-zukuri inspired recurve folder blade to heat treat, I did the grind to test the ht stability of 10v. 2000f to about -150F in about 20 seconds...

You guys have a good one!
 
Daniel, I agree. Edge refinement to the level of a razor is a good way to tell. This one is 1084 and I've had good luck with it before. It just needs more time at the higher grits. I need some new lapping film too, lol! I really want to try CTS XHP steel, it's supposed to be awesome for razors!

Just got back from DMV, got a new boat trailer to replace one of mine that was just on its last leg.

The gun I think I can get working, if not I know I can make some good money on it as is! I would just like to shoot it first.


Make it great fellas!

Cool on the boat trailer X!

Good morning guys!

Cold and clear here... no snow at my place but just down the road they got a foot! 44" total so far the nearest mountain pass. http://www.wolfcreekski.com/wolf-creek-snow-report.php

I have a American made wallet in the mailbox, I'm excited!

Time to grind some micarta and ironwood! It's the battle of the gnarly to grind handle materials, lol I am using new belts on these and burning through them.
 
Good morning yo
Thanks D, The cpm154 is pretty awesome stuff.
X, now you are going to need a proper cowboy holster for that pea shooter.
Rolf, the culprit was desk knife that Daniel might remember from a long time ago. It is the one with the hallow grind that was done with a 1/2" wheel.
Yeaaaa, I get to go to DMV today too. I should went with X...we could of made fun of people. :p
Where has that Bobby guy gone to? Booooooooooooobby.....
Have a great week y'all
 
Sorry guys! Been busy as heck here.

Wife had her surgery so I'm spending most of my time cooking and cleaning and caring for her.

Last night I decided to cook a nice meal. Found a recipe for eggplant, tomato goatcheese sammiches. Picked up a loaf of French bread and some fresh veggies. Cut the bread, put it on the grill. Got caught up slicing eggplant and tomato, then forgot I had to make a oil glaze for the bread. Went out to reclaim the bread, one piece was on fire and three others charred black.

I.. I cannot cook. We may not survive until she recovers, haha. By the end of it all, the grill had eaten half the tomatoes and made a mockery of my plans!

No shop work recently. Just been too busy transitioning over to the holidays.

Hope everyone is well!
 
^ very good stuff B! Burnt bread is nothing... I bet she liked the meal, sounds great!

A Chef once told me to oil most anything I needed to brown, I was roasting some veggies over open flame for a tomatilla sauce and never thought to for stuff like that but it is a major improvement.

lol I hear you on the shop time with a two year and two month old here! The Holidays don't help. I need a certain amount of sleep to run power tools. :D seriously!

Take it easy and best wishes to you and your family!
