Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Thank you, Jack. I love the hardware background for your stag Heartshead.

Thanks Joshua, just taken on my mate's tool-stall today

Good day Guardians

I've "collected" a lot of pictures of my lambsfoot knives over the past year.
Looking at some of them it bring memories of the time, place, trip etc when they were taken.
I though I would share some of them again.
I'll put the recycled symbol after theses pics to note that they were previously shared, liked and commented before

My first couple pics upon the arrival of my lambsfoot.

You gave her some time Ron . The most valuable thing there is .

Harry

Thanks Harry!

You too Ron! How do you find that Lambsfoot, with the unusual reversed Swayback frame?

I actually don’t carry it often enough Jack. It takes some time to adjust to the look, but it is comfortable in hand when the tip or edge is downward. Like cutting cardboard or packing tape. My fingers actually cradle in the reverse curve making for a comfortable grip.

Another morning, another day! We're headed to town today for the wife's appointment at the beauty shop, lunch at the Wagon Wheel Cafe, and grocery shopping. Oh goody!!! I get to stock up on Hormel Hash, Hormel Chili with Beans, SPAM, Tiny Tot Sardines in Oil, Boar's Head Salami, and other junk foods. Yummy!!!

Ed it sounds to me like you’ve got a pretty nice shopping list comprising all the basics. You might want to throw in a couple boxes of crackers. Of course don’t forget the pintos and taters for the special meals!

Beautiful bowl CelloDan !
Enjoy your wind down time, Jack.

Never heard of the author, but looks interesting, and so does the stag, looks like a well used and worn knife, bit might just be the look of the stag, whatever it is, i like it..You have a good weekend, and enjoy the book.

Hope you manage to get one Taylor Cheers buddy

Hope everyone is having a good day Mine has been nice enough, but I'm pretty worn out from having been on my feet all day. Think I'm going to put them up for a bit

That looks like an old iron cradle. They have not made them for a long time.

There isn't enough Banwith (SP?) to hold my entire list. Although my chewing is limited, I surprise myself with what I experiment with just to see what I can chew and swallow I got a hold of some chili that had Jalapenos peppers and had to run a couple of laps around the house but in the end, all was good

Ed, when I see the words Jalapeños peppers and run in the same sentence it gives me cause for concern!

I remember the original post, love the bowl. Did you finish it with a varnish, or is it just a wax finish highly buffed and polished?

Wishing everyone a good weekend, especially those in the fire areas of America, please take care and stay safe. I wonder with everything that has happened this year, how much more you can cope with. Jack Black You were saying that our mate from over here had sent you some kangaroo leather, i thought you and other members may be interested in these photos. They are of some experimental strops that i made with some kangaroo leather scraps that i purchased from a local belt and leather product maker. The wood bases are just incense holders that i purchased from a craft shop that was having a sale. The leather cost me $6US or 5 quid and the incense holders were 4 for $1US or 1 quid, so they were very economical to make for just an experiment. I wanted to try kangaroo leather, and different diamond pastes and sprays. The photo in the middle shows a side view of the thickness, hard to see, so you may have to squint. Take care everyone.

Scruton was an English philosopher who wrote a lot on aesthetics and culture—he was one of the last great contemporary men of letters: a public intellectual. Sadly he died earlier this year. This book aims to show the basis for immaterial explanations for uniquely human activities—like language and musical experience and other particularly human things. Thanks for the kind words.

Dan, I'm sure I speak for everyone, when I say that your wonderful photos have been a hugely enjoyable contribution to the Guardians thread Thank you for the work you've put into taking them Personally, I can't wait to see some of them again

I imagine so Ron, interesting to hear your thoughts on it buddy

Enjoy your wind down time, Jack.

Thanks a lot Mark, very cool pic

I see quite a few of them still, but I haven't seen one quite like that one before. I actually rang my mate about it, but it had sold just before he packed-up his stall for the day

I'll echo that mate, stay safe everyone

What a great idea! I've seen identical incense holders on sale over here. Did you sand them at all first, or simply apply the leather as is?

Thanks for calling in my friend, it's good to see you here

Good Morning Guardians! Hope everyone has survived the week OK, particularly our friends on the US west coast. Have a good Friday Guardians, the weekend is almost upon us

No did not sand them, came up with a better idea. I got a lambsfoot [Good Work Knife ] and just scored a criss cross pattern, then just applied some PVC glue, waited for about 20 minutes so it was just starting to set, then fixed the pre-cut leather. I then placed some books on top and left overnight. Very simple, that was the beauty of it.

My sourdough didn’t look that nice this morning but the flavor was great. I got one of my granddaughters into sourdough and now I have to make her toast every morning, works out for me it makes me take the time to have some also.
sorry for the double picture but I'm working from my phone again.
