Morning Preston.
The NWMP Barracks, Main Street, built in 1893, served until 1929 as the lodgings, office, and jail for the police officers of Canmore.

Great flock, r8shell. You've got your bases covered with that group.My flock:
I loved Ovaltine as a kid. Have a safe trip, Jack.Morning folks, I'm just calling in quickly as I'm about to depart for a trip to York. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Stag for Saturday
What a great picture, David. So much history and it looks so peaceful.
I'm enjoying the art, Dave.
Looks cold out there, Dwight. Put a sweater on!
Mirror Mirror on the wall... Great effect in that photo, Alan.
Great prop, is that your dream car? Fast cars and sharp knives... Living dangerously.

There’s nothing wrong with your photo my friend!Good Morning Guardians.
All your great photos make mine look like. But I'm just happy to be part of it all.
There’s no way a Lambsfoot can look like ! Thanks for the compliment on my Midnight Special!

A fine family photo Rachel
Thank you. That smooth bone is a looker!Nice pic Rachel
I hate to complain about good weather, but why does it always come during the SXSW convention, so all the Californians think it's always like this?
The main advantage to the Sharpmaker is that you are less likely to round the tip of the blade by using the flat sides of the rods. You can do just fine with the Lansky, just stop a bit short, don't run the tip off the rod.
Two very handsome herds there folks
Thank you. Just when I think, "I've got a full set, no need to look for more." I see something like Jack's smooth bone version and think, "Well...if the next Guardian's knife is like that..."
I wouldn't blame Jack if he didn't want to go through all the trouble of doing another Guardian's knife, but a year goes by and one forgets the pain. That's why women ever have more than one child.

And my first thought was "I didn't know they made round corned beef..."
Always...
Two fantastic pics my friend
What a cool photo David there's so much history
Cool building Dave
Good Morning Jack and fellow Guardians!

Great pic my friend
Beautiful atmospheric pic Dwight
Well done Alan, I don't think anyone has done that in this thread before, makes for an excellent pic my friend
I like the smooth white bone idea also. There are just to many knives and so little time! Have a good trip Jack...thanks for all you have done and will do.
I use the Sharpmaker quite a bit, mostly to touch up a blade. I have the Edge Pro and a Norton course/fine stone but lately I've been using the DTM diamond stones, they cut very well.. I like motion of the process. It's the way I started and I keep going back to it.
How old is that building?
That AC is so good looking, great photo!
An excellent photo again Dwight, have a great day.
Neat photo, well done.
Hope your Saturday is restful and a relaxed one Guardians.
Thank you very much Preston, my trip was OK, but the weather was against me. I wasn't 100 yards from home when it started raining, and on the way to York, it came down really heavy, sleet, rain, and a strong wind. Now I'm back home, the sun has come out of course
That is a very cool pic
Morning Preston.
Blimey, the stingy buggers here would have got about another 500 years use out of that place Dave!
Is that really the oldest building in Canmore? My house is older than that, and it's not considered particularly old here. Heck, I've just been to the Yorkshire Museum in York, and they'll let you walk on the Roman mosaics as long as you take your shoes off! Have a great Saturday Guardians!
You too Ron, stunning pic of your Midnight Special pal
Me too John
I have had those tablets! They sold them in pharmacies when I was a kid, they were a bit old-fashioned, even then. I'm not sure there was much too them really Wow, you Guardians are really posting some amazing pics, well done folks
As well as my AC, I ended up taking Lucy to York with me, as she had stowed away in my pocket I think she (or I) may have been cursed by the BFO though! The rain had just dropped to a drizzle, and the sun was starting to poke through the clouds, when I took this pic in front of the ruins of St Mary's Abbey (goes back to about 1974 ). I was just taking a second pic, when a gust of wind, blew Lucy from her four foot high perch onto the stone flags below! But Lucy fell like a cat (or bat!), and survived without so much as a blemish! Phew! Perhaps she's still undead after all!

I think they must stay up late in York these days, because barely anything is open before 10.00am!
Had to walk right across the city to get a cup of coffee!

Thanks mate
LOL! Good tip about the Lansky Rachel, I try not to run the tips of my knife off the Sharpmaker 'rods' too, but I suspect that's harder with round rods There's always one more isn't there You are right! Hopefully, I can deliver at least one more Guardians Lambsfoot. I like the idea of smooth white camel bone, and think Wright's may have a little familiarity with it. Hoping to do something else a bit special before then though

Glad to hear no damage done.This is very exciting to hear!

I need to find out where EXACTLY it was sourced John, maybe an ancient curse covers the land where it grew, perhaps it was uprooted from a spooky old graveyard...
Or maybe it is the wretched BFO playing tricks from afar!

I don't think I actually spoke the words, "OH NO!! NOT AGAIN!!!" aloud!
But I may have done! Shhh...
