This was the first piece out of the cast iron pan, so it's not particularly pretty. But, it was tasty!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that looks beautiful to me! It just begs for a beer to keep it company.

I have the smaller tormek and I have lately started freehanding the smaller knives. The accessory bar can be used to steady the hand.

I've done that with a couple of puukkos that weren't working well with the knife jig, but I haven't tried it yet with smaller knives. I probably should give it a try and see how it goes. Sounds like it's working well for you?

Thanks! Beer would have paired wonderfully, but I had some work to do with power tools afterwards and safety demanded otherwise. Fortunately, there were leftovers and there's beer in the fridge for round two! ;)
 
I have used the knife jig for my ham knife and the small knife attachment for some non-traditional knives and the results were good. Traditionals are marginal for the small knife jig, so I tried freehand and I was satisfied. I also have a Worksharp kitchen knife sharpener and a 17 degree attachment. I can also lean the knife to obtain a more acute angle.

I can remember some of the old drinking fountains, most of them did not work as you stated, but i have seen a few kept in working order. But i do remember when i was growing up old water trough's for horses and cattle. They were not everywhere, but still quite a few dotted around Melbourne, especially near where there had been old Markets. There are still a few around our old New Market Sale Yards that have been preserved, but the actual yards are a eyesore of cheap apartments. But most country towns still had working stock troughs when i was a kid, a lot of the pubs still had them right out the front, on the footpath.

While the old water fountains rarely worked, there were modern ones in all the parks and school playgrounds. They've gone now too of course :( There were very few horse troughs in the centre of town when I was a kid, and the few there had been filled with flowers, but as you got further out of the city, there were still quite a few. Many pubs have them outside here too, but for the most part, they were turned into ornamental flower-beds long ago :thumbsup:

Yes, beer and power tools is definitely not a good combination! :eek: :thumbsup:

There's clearly an issue o_O @black mamba gives some good advice in the Lounge:

"I've noticed a lot of double posts tonight. If your post doesn't immediately go through, wait 30 seconds and hit REFRESH rather than submitting it again. If it still doesn't go, wait another 30 and REFRESH again. Eventually it will post."

Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. Please just don't keep hitting 'Post' please folks :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a good weekend :) It looks like the sun is out here this morning, and I hope it stays out, so that I can take advantage of it later. For now, I better get on with some work :rolleyes: Have a good week Guardians, take care out there :thumbsup:

Thanks Bill, I haven't got too much on at the moment :) As the sun was out, I thought I'd use the excuse of going to the post office, and getting a little shopping, to go out and have a walk round the neighbourhood, and get some fresh air and exercise. It wasn't long before the sun went back in though, and I caught two light showers while I was out :rolleyes: It sounds like your weather is even worse at the moment though my friend :( I remember you first telling us about your impending move, I hope it all goes well for you :) But I have to say this, in relation to your Lambsfoot:

"FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING BILL??!!!" :eek: :eek: :D ;) :thumbsup:
