[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I came across this on YouTube. It gives all sorts of ideas to me. Just a look around the shop and the junk drawers , and I can see several interesting projects.
Maybe this winter we can have a "What does it do?" build chalange.

Can't really do that. Suffice it to say my inability to achieve closure in my day job is one of the primary reasons I make knives... it's one thing I *can* complete.
