Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I must be doing something wrong!

You and me both, but i've worked out where we went wrong. We should have spent all those years selling it, not drinking it.

Been doing some experimenting on a gadget, and i think i have cracked the code. There is a mechanical knife bevel tester that you can purchase, that has a sharpness guide expressed as a number. I would never buy one, they are far too expensive, and not even i'm that obsessed, would like to have one but not pay that sort of money. Saw a post about a home made one in the maintenance and tinkering section, and liked the idea, and liked that the poster of said machine being creative. Here it is, the problem i was having was getting the cutting medium right and working out the weight in grams corresponding to a sharpness level. Found the correct cutting medium doing some research, and worked out the edge sharpness scale. Not as accurate as the actual authentic machine, but good enough for me. See what you think.

That’s some really cool tinkering and ingenuity, my friend

The authentic tester costs approx $500 including postage. Made this for $25 including postage.

Alaska trip is going great! Tons of sight seeing and an amazing wedding! Been trying some local food and checking out the sights!

First day we went for a drive and did some gold panning! Even got some! My son was excited. I might have been a lil more impressed with his skills.

Checked out a local BBQ joint that aired on Diner, Drive through and dives. It was gooood!
I got the KC stacker. Shoulda went with the ribs as it’s their specialty…maybe tomorrow!’

For dinner we went to a Salmon Bake, it was also some good food and killer atmosphere. I went with the salmon basket…DUH!

Today we went on a cool tour of the Chena River on the Discovery. A paddle wheel boat.

An amazing moose mount at the Chena village on the Discovery tour.

Us groomsmen hung out at one of the houses and played corn hole and played some two hand touch football. A lot of us played college football and high school football so it brought out our competitiveness! Hahaha (no injuries)!!

And lastly some wedding venue shots.

Been carrying my HHB I wonder if it’s the only HHB to be in Fairbanks….hmmm let me know Guardians! Gonna check out the Chena Hot Springs tomorrow and of course some more killer grub…

I’m sure more photos to come!

I just checked, and that brewery is 500 yards, rather than 300

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend Mine was pretty good 8.30am here in Yorkshire, and it's in the mid 70's outside, but set to rise to at least the mid 90's later. I've got a few things to catch up with in the house, and I won't be going far today. Hope your week gets off to a good start Guardians I'm starting mine with my trusty Hartshead Barlow

It wasn't a post on how to make one, just some overall advise. I saw it and thought i can do that, i can give details here if that is okay and other Guardians are interested. If not, that is okay, they can PM me.

Thanks Leon, I did have a look, but couldn't find anything obvious By all means mate, that'd be grand

Will do. Bit under the pump at the moment packing stuff, so i will give instructions ASAP. Anyone can do it, it is so simple.

I've just been down to 'Charlie's Cafe' for a coffee and a croissant. It's pretty warm outside, so I swapped my ball cap for my Tilley
