:grumpy:
I finally got the stitches out and my hand hurts in spite of the drugs.
I think the pain is mostly from Dr. Lieberman cuting off the "dead" skin.
His comments about possibly having to do a skin graft wern't too comforting either.

Oh well, I did more sanding on my traditional style khukuri stand - lot more hand sanding to go.

I have some other styles in the works, a katakake and some 2-way styles that can be used on a tabletop or hung from a wall.

Thanks for letting me dump on y'all, my friends.

Hey, get better! And I hope we can see some pics of the stand when you're done. BTW, tell me as I'm too lazy to look it up: where's Hemet? Sounds familiar.

Yup, get better!!!!:thumbup: :D

Norm, Hemet is near San Jacinto and both are fairly close to Riverside IIRC.
Also not too terribly far from Banning, Beaumont, and the like.
My ex and I used to go antiquing over there on the weekends once in a while.
I picked up a very nice Keris for $22.50 in one of the stores and no, I didn't kiss the proprietoress either.;) :D
 
Thanks for the good wishes.

Thanks for answering Norm's question, Yvsa di-de-yo-hv-s-gi. I was going to post a map.

There are two schools of thought about Hemet.
"Hemet is heaven."
"Hemet is hell."

When I was working for a large heartless corporation I had some standard phrases I used in leu of conversation and social stroking. One of which was:
Q: How are ya?
A: Surviving.
Q: That dosen't sound like much.
A: It is when you consider the alternative.

When SWMBO and I moved to Hemet, which was too small for her and too big for me, I changed my tune:
Q: How are ya?
A: Just another day in Paradise.

Five years later my wife realized that I wasen't being sarcastic.

Nowdays it's changed again:
Q: How are ya?
A: Were it not for the bankruptcy and constant pain it would be just another day in Paradise.

Anyway, my hand hurt when I started and is excerbated by all this typing.

L8r, my friends

Nice...... :)

What is that cotton ball behind the scarbard ? :)

Is rock. Quartz.

Q: What is your favorite rock group.
A: Love them all, but I'd have to say metamorphic.
:D
 
I don't know whether Hemet is heaven or hell. I only spent one night there on my way to San Diego in 1984; I stopped at a motel near I-15 at 11:30 pm to get some rest after a very long drive and found the biggest spider I've ever seen in my room. :eek:

I inverted the ice bucket over him, put a chair on top and left a note for the maid.
 
That's a really nice stand Jerry!!!!:thumbup: :cool: :D

Speaking of rocks there was a 4.21 carat Canary Yellow Diamond found in Arkansas at the diamond mine there. The Oklahoma Highway Patrolman is calling it the Okie Dokie Diamond.
