Friday

I'm not-so-patiently waiting for the customer's drawings to arrive so I can start work on my first mod commission. He had the knife sent to me when he ordered it, now it's sitting here mocking me while I wait for the drawing! Think he'd mind if I just make it the way I'd like it? ;)

Remember-its easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission-HEHEHE.....I say go for it!:thumbup: :D


Tomorrow I'm going ice climbing-looks like the last day for this season:grumpy: and tomorrow night its off to NYC.
 
Well, I was out there George, profiling a couple of blades. I thought I saw someone peeking in one of my shop windows. I guess that was you, huh?
 
Tomorrow in the EARLY AM I may get a little shop time, but Mom's in town so were going to go wander around some antique stores. Sunday will be a shop day to work on the "Recycled Warrior" project and maybe knock a big cutter out of some JD driveshaft.

I've also decided that the time savings from a chop saw are just too great for damascus making, so I'll be buying the HF 14" that's on sale this week. I could hot-cut the billets when I fold, but I always find that if I grind the faces of the billet, mark and abrasive cut I keep things more even/straight. It takes too long with a 4.5" angle grinder and eats too many disks. A chop saw will make each cut in 10 seconds and a much bigger blade is cheap. Darn...I talked myself into ANOTHER tool :D

Hauling my 50 gal propane tank to the shop so we can fire up the small forge and pound out some new blades.

Also getting a new tire put on the motorcycle and possibly buying a new truck.

Just getting over the stomach flu so I'm looking forward to getting some work done.
 
Got my new Evers Stamp last week. I just finished up a new hydrallic press for it. Tested it out and it works great. I used a 6 ton bottle jack. Seems to do the trick nicely. Made about 15 good, clear stamps with it. I'll post pics when its reassembled after the paint drys.
Good Night!

I think that I will do a quality control check on several batches of Pina Coladas---different rums and varied amounts of cream of cacao and pineapple! Properly qualified on Saturday, might allow me to sleep all day on Sunday!!!!

Heh! I know what he wants but... don't want to look like a fool on my first "job". I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities for that :o

If it was IG, he had to stand on a couple of crates to see in the window.
I chucked it all and went hog hunting this morning. No luck, just a slippery walk and climb in the woods. I only fell on my butt once on the icy trails.
After a nap, I have to send email some designs to a customer that wants his 4th and 5th knives. The same gentleman sent me a bunch of venison snacks, deer sticks, brats, jerky, and summer sausages that arrived this week.
Since it's been so dang cold here until recently, I have ignored orders and have been working the day job and not much else. The cost of heating oil for the shop has just been too high to heat the shop.
 
Spent most of the day helping put on an Oxy/Acetylene welding clinic at school with the student blacksmithing club we're starting up.
Somehow I got stuck demonstrating brazing all day, which I'm pretty terrible at. I'd have been more qualified to teach welding or cutting, but the guys demonstrating that were a hell of alot more qualified than me....so I stayed in the brazing and BS'd my way through it :D
Had a pretty good group in there and it was a good day. A rep from lincoln welders did a few demos, and got me to wanting to buy a bunch of new toys again :grumpy: He ought to know its not nice to do that to us poor folks :D

Hoping to get some time in my shop tomorrow.
