I Love it when...

Well to be honest, I love everything about knife making. The only things I don't love about knife making are the things that prevent me from knife making... like my job, but I love my job too!View attachment 2019330

Your job looks like my job...but I'd rather build knives than houses....if I get as good at building knives as I am at building houses, I can quit building houses and actually start building knives!!!
There is that pesky money issue though.
An old knife maker buddy of mine once asked me..." what's the difference between a knife maker and a large pizza?" "I don't know" I said. He replied, "a large pizza can feed a family of four"

In other thread I wrote that I hate when I drill holes in scale on wrong side and most likely that is not true .

I thought I was the only one that did that.
 
I can't even count the number of times I have made two right or left scales when boring Corby bolt seats. As you did, I just made two more of the other side and had a set ready for another knife.
It happens easily when you are doing a large batch of knives and aren't paying attention while drilling.

Stay away from Cancun, Quintana Roo is a $hit show right now! Go to Belize or something...
 
I have a homebuilt oven and it's been a little bit of a trail and error process. Temps over 1700F have often had a 50/50 change of causing something to go wrong, mostly with the coils. Most of the issue is I was just running the coils too hard. It's been better once I reduced my wattage.

Trial and error is part of the fun of knife making...

I tell myself that 😄
