The weather is pretty nice and sunny on the first of my regular 3 day weekend. I have a package to ship to our favorite Roger L. this morning, but am waiting for his return email to get his home address. I am doing the final assembly of one knife today, hopefully get 3 put together this weekend. I am working on some mammoth inlays in between the assembly work today, and checking to find a local that can do some scrimshaw work for me on the ivory handle inlays. On my weekend list to do includes building a mini table top disk grinder for grinding stone. If I can get the thing to work the way I want to, I will show you gents my contraption. I'm not a welder, so it will be a bolt together table grinder.

That sounds great! Well, the Sin City part does. :D I'm going to see it with my brother on Saturday afternoon. Read that book for a long time when Miller started it but then my comics time and budget ran out...so it goes, eh? So I'm really looking forward to the movie. It's been getting fantastic reviews and it sounds like it's going to set a new standard for comics-to-film. I cannot wait...!
 
CNC my ass. If any of you saw my dvd look closely at my gloves. We ran a batch of boot knives or no. 11's. With 2 grinders going it dosen't take long. DONT FORGET, profits are split so I only made a dozen or so. The HD is a 98 1200 custom sportster. I got a sweet deal. Now I have to order more leather to outfit the bike. OH, it also includes 3 bars of damascus while gary was HT.
 
Well, for what is left of the day, I have to pack and get to bed so I can go to the Badger show bright and early in the morning. At least I got some work done today.
 
Tree rats, IG? Thanks for the suggestion! I think I will take some squirrels out of the freezer. You are always welcome to a squirrel dinner, fella. Fried squirrel and gravy, the food of gods! Mr. Rascal, you need a big frying pan for your forge. You could fry squirrels and work at the same time.
 
Who needs CNC when you can work that fast already, right Kim?! Actually, I'm always amazed by you guys who have a good hand for this. Like that time Jens Ansø posted a pic of the knifes he had ready for a show in Belgium or somewhere... he had a dozen and a half folders part way finished. All perfect, all pretty much the same, even though each one is hand ground. Amazing! A lot of it probably has to do with properly dividing the labor: profiling a bunch, drilling a bunch, grinding a bunch, etc rather than doing each one start to finish. Today is a "quality time with my wife" day so my hopes of having a couple things finished are screwed. I'm thinking I can probably have 2-3 knives done up to the finishing stage, though, so that would be cool. I have a hankerin' to do some grinding, but instead I'm spending Saturday drinking coffee, then going to Grand Rapids to see the butterfly display.
