Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[sceva]

This one is back in my pocket for a couple of days.

 

[cigarrodog]

How now, Guardians! What do we think - cooking with grease yet? The lines on the paper depict the height of the blade at the ricasso and at the hoof:

This is about as much as I can grind without cutting into the nail nick. I could grind past the nick for a dramatic effect; and the blade would remain pinchable. But I would have to reshape the hoof to do so.

Looks great no matter what.

Good Morning Guardians

Good evening Guardians. Hope everyone had a great day. View attachment 1970198

Nice seasonal pic Todd

Thank you kind sir.

I was gonna ask you if you forgot to double his pay but I see where you said you paid him the regular double fare.

The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about three weeks Jack. Just be patient.

Take it easy folks.View attachment 1970220

LOL! You have a good memory Dwight Considerably better than Barber Brian I reckon! I've been going to Brian over a decade, long enough to know that his customers generally don't tip at all, or if they do, it's no more than £1. He has guys turn up once a year, and expect a haircut and shave for a fiver, so considering I'm never in the chair for more than 2 or 3 minutes, and tip well, you'd think he might take a bit more care

Yes indeed, except, in this case, in 3 weeks, one side of my hair would still be considerably longer than the other! After letting Tool Man, and half of the other traders, see just how bad it was, I told Brian I'd come back for the other half of my haircut. Unfortunately, like a lot of my friends, including Tool Man, Brian has bad eyesight, but prefers vanity to wearing glasses. A few other folks reported similar experiences to my own

Really cool photo my friend, lovely colours, and your Lamb is a peach :thumbsup;

Great pic of your loyal Lambsfoot John

Our youngest daughter has a bumper sticker that says - Better late than ugly...

That looks good. I still think the blade could lose some fat, but I'd be reluctant to grind into the nail-nick

Thought I'd pop in with my lambsfoot progress. Think I ended up more in the Sheambsfoot ball park. Stabilized Chestnut, you can see a couple of wee wormholes towards the back.

Great to see Jake Kevin

Nice way to end the week

Good afternoon Guardians, Ray, our pal, who is on the next stall, is on holiday this week, so I went down to the market even earlier than usual, to keep Tool Man company, and help him out. It was raining very heavily when I left though, and did so until mid afternoon. Consequently, it was pretty quiet in the market, and the kids are off school this week for half-term, which always makes thing worse. I door-stepped Barber Brian, but I'll be finding another barber, or going back to clipping it myself I treated Tool Man to his favourite cake, which is sold in the market as "School Slice", maybe because it went out of the back door of a school kitchen! Despite the weather, we had a good day, and I hung on long enough to say Hello to Mrs Tool Man, when she arrived around 3.30pm. It's their wedding anniversary today, so they're going out for a pub meal this evening Hope everyone else has had a good day

The many vices of Tool Man!

Thank you, Harvey.

Thank you, Jack.

What's a guy going to do with a lot of free time and a good pocket knife?

Happy Anniversary to Tool Man and his lovely Bride.

Exquisite Ebony, and the cake reminds me of Zingers.

Lovely arrangement, Dwight. Fantastic haft.

Thank you Harvey.

I like it Andrew. Beautiful work.

That's down right beautiful.

Thank you Rufus.

I'll pass that one on my friend Tool Man was very relieved to learn that the demise of one of his heroes was exaggerated

Wow, yeah!

Looks great. For a lambsfoot, I think the back should be a straight line between the plunge(?) and the final descent to the point.
Speaking with little knowledge and no authority.
If I could make a knife that nice I wouldn't much care who thought what its shape should be named.

Shambcliffe? It looks good John

Thanks Gents, I appreciate the look and the kind words. I'll have some changes if I revisit the design. Would make for a good starter fixed blade for a youth I think.

I like it Andrew. Beautiful work.

Thanks Dwight!

That's funny... Maybe he was only "mostly dead"

Took this picture today to commemorate David Tennant's return as The Doctor... Guess he pulled a Jerry Lee Lewis.
