Tried to start a new thread with this but the forum powers that be refuse to let it happen so I shall just pick this thread since it's handy and call it what bawanna chooses to make.
Well a typical wet weekend in the NW which isn't all bad. I get to play in my man cave and not feel guilty about not cutting grass or chopping wood or messing around in the big shop.
After weeks of contemplation and some horse trading Pugs lovely YCS (one of them) came to live with me. Drop dead gorgeous khukri if I ever laid eyes on one and I've laid eyes on a few.
I decided the wall is a might cluttered and it along with a few prized possessions from my kami down in Corn Patch needed a special place of honor, or what I refer to as "Under Glass". Actually it's plastic but it'll do fine for my side of the tracks.
I decided to modify a rifle stand I made a few years back, had a nice hunk of Cherry (I think) and wanted to make something with it, kind of a got the wood, now what to do with it kind of a deal.
Anyhow for the last year or so it sported a lovely Remington 22 target rifle, ironically also traded for with Pugs, are we bros or what? It was on top of this case and handy to grab and fondle but always covered in dust and had to move it and other stuff to access the "stuff" under glass.
So enough lip flappin, here's what I come up with.
Here tis out in the open where I could get a semi decent picture. As you'll see in following photo's under glass is tough.
Along with the YCS I put the cherished dagger (pattern welded, not Damascus) up front, proverbial thing of beauty, and the little hatchet that is just a mind boggling piece of blacksmith perfection off to the left. I look at it often and think, how the heck did he do that. The handle itself and attachment is one of the wonders of the world.
Bookie kami, must have spent a fair bit of time doing this sort of thing.
Well that's all I got for now, I'm a checkering guruguru's second bowie, just needed to straighten out the old neck and flex the hands a bit and we'll be back at the bench.
Remember the bayonet raffle is kaput tomorrow, if you want in act quickly. Lets say cut off time at high noon PST. Then I'll try and play with Steve's random number counter dealyhymer and keep throwing out my winning numbers until somebody else wins.
