I needed a break, the holidays made sure.

ERIK KNIVES · Jan 16, 2012

In the last couple of months I have needed a break on knife production. My normal job and the holidays took it out of me and I didn't have the focus to work on some of my current projects. So - I built a playhouse for my kids. It makes me smile and it is so much easier to build than a knife. I ordered 40 new belts and a ton of paper yesterday and I am feeling the knife stoke again, but I thought I would share my "down time" efforts. My wife decorated the interior with paint we had sitting around. I think she did a great job.

Very cool Erik! Are those actually double pane windows!?

You went all out on that. Looks great:thumbup:

Now you're making me feel like a heel because I never built my girls one of those!

How great is that? That is really cool.

Thanks Jon, those are double pane only because no one makes single pane any more! Cheapest I could find and less work than fabricating something.

Thanks, Michael! I gave some honest feedback in your post, I hope you don't hold it against me.

Awesome. Pick up Jonny and get him down here. We can go diving and fishing. I like you already. Now I have to go look at your knives.

Thanks Greg! Michael, you are killing me - nice knives, BTW. I think the west coast (among new makers) is representing quite well these days.
