Very nice, Rick. I like a low layer Damascus and your handle work is always top notch.

Are you planning a trip to Nebraska?

My scanner was screaming all night long. They kept mentioning, "...the truck had an Oklahoma license plate." Hope all is okay.

Did you give him lessons on that trip hammer. It will be a lot different than Rays air hammer .it will do the work just take a little longer.

Nice. The jigging added to the shaped handle really makes the scales pop!

We forged a little on one of the 100 Little Giants here. That 25 he got will work fine, if he keeps billets small.

I managed to give Don a few pointers. I think with work he'll do better. I try and post some pictures when I sober up Tomorrow.

Yeah, I learned a hell of a lot from Rick, really... I just fixed a slip joint here that I didn't think I should sell with my name on it. It worked bubba, thanks!

Yes it was, but even more loaded before we unloaded some stuff here.

rickmenefee · Feb 5, 2015

Don we had lots of fun. Your family and Joe are great host. It will be lots of fun in the future. A plains hunt or fishing trip maybe in order. Shahan, Mclure, Kirk and know Hanson are responsible for the mid-life crisis.
