^^Ditto, and I sure hope so. This world needs more of your work!
I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to own this Kerry's Clip recently. It's the crown jewel of my humble collection. Many thanks to my friend Blues
I'm there Jerry. Beats copious amounts of gin.
I have been a slacker at knife making...there, I said it. The reasons are too numerous to mention and some of them are just plain bellyachin'. That said, I am planning on having some time to commit to making knives again and here are some images of my shop/playhouse that has been coming together since last January. I was able to pick up some grinders and a Rockwell tester and other things from the estate of Joe Allen. I just set up a new Grizzly surface grinder last evening. I need to work on dust collection and a new milling machine and HT oven is on it's way. This coming Friday, Reese Bose and I are driving to Corydon, Indiana to pick up a horizontal grinder from a retired knife maker friend of ours...Bill Keeton. As the economy grinds to a halt, I am spending money like it's growing on trees and, as I write this, I am telling myself, this doesn't seem very smart. Oh well...full speed ahead..DAMN THE TORPEDOS!
