No April Fool's joke here, folks...I pulled a bonehead stunt yesterday. After returning from my travels and procuring a few things needed for a couple of projects, I started on one. This required the use of a drill press and a small piece of brass sheeting. I was in a hurry and knew better but, I held the brass piece with my fingers and started to drill. The bit caught in the soft brass and spun it into my finger.:eek: Lots of blood and pain. So I'm telling you, you can teach an old dog new tricks. It hurts, in several ways, to type this...

Ouch! I generally stay away from power tools, as I have hurt myself with manual saws, hammers, and box-cutters. I do use a gas mower, and have been lucky so far.

I did a number with a chainsaw on my leg by not listening to my common sense mind controller.:rolleyes:

Same here. Last weekend, I actually stepped on a rake and the handle came up and hit me in the face. Just like in the cartoons! :mad::oops::rolleyes:

Lol. No offense taken it was funny. Fortunately, the rake was leaning against a wall, so it didn't hit with full force.

Just having a little fun on April 1st with a spare blade. No fooling Jack though. :)
The second picture is definitely legit. Jack, do they still make "Bird's Custard"?

Hmm... o_O I think it was "bird's custard" I just washed off the car this afternoon.

I did Dwight, thanks for asking :) Ashley was shocked how much damage there had been to it, but did a great job of restoring it. Here it is :) :thumbsup:

I also finally got this one back - from last year's Guardian's run! It had a couple of hammer-marks on the blade, so needed to have them polished out, and have the blade re-etched :thumbsup:

Sorry for the very poor quality pics :(

You know exactly what I'm talking about Dave, yours sounds like a worse wound than mine.

Thanks John, the wound quicker than my pride.

Even I find it hard to believe this, but I can't find my drill press. So I used a B&D drill that lights up when it's vertical. Unfortunately the work-piece wasn't level. So my Uke tuner holes aren't quite the bee's knees.
But at least I didn't hurt myself.

Love it Harvey. The Senator in that stag is gorgeous.

I wish I had! Sweet combo Neal.

Another great shot of your beautiful horn. Thanks Kevin.

Thanks Jack. Did you get your ironwood lamb back?

Another stunning photo of the scary totem lamb. :eek:

Great ironwood you have there. Love Fats.View attachment 1102811

Awesome shot, Dwight! Great looking Lamb, and a great chance at making a glass top end table with a slice of the stump!:cool::thumbsup:

I have to share this story I heard today :eek: By the mid 1970's, the once-great Sheffield cutlery house of Joseph Rodgers, despite having taken over its long-term rival George Wostenholm (IXL), was on it's last legs, and was first bought by the relative newcomer Richards of Sheffield, and then in turn by Imperial. The move to the Richard's factory was not popular with the Rodgers-Wostenholm cutlers, and possibly even less so with the Rodgers management, if indeed there was a place for them at Richards at all. They still held loads of the old Rodgers and Wostenholm stock, from blades and parts to finished knives, but the cutlers were simply told to "Get rid of it" by their old gaffers, and the nearest place to dump it all was in the River Sheaf, which ran next to the factory! So out of the windows it went! :eek: News went round, and a few handfuls of penknives were rescued, but some of them may still be rusting away in the river, or were washed away decades ago :eek: :rolleyes:

Sad. :(

Must be something about the musical aspect, Jer. I was trying to fabricate a tip plate for a violin bow. I had to cut the 'rectrianglar', hole for the bow hair. Didn't have a jeweler's saw so used the drill press. Drilled the small holes, no problem, but, the larger bit, bit into the brass and spun it around.

The buffer and drill press sure have my attention every time I use them. Glad it wasn't worse, Preston, and hope it heals up quickly!

Great knife content!!:):thumbsup:
