Getting some stitching ready. One thing I love about working with Busse knives is that you guys aren't afraid of a little color. I have 19 colors to pick from now.

Getting the black cut outs finished

...and glued. I actually ran out of clamps on this run. That hasn't happened in forever. Need to order a few hundred more of them before the next run.

Sanding 25 Mistress sheaths takes quite awhile

LOTS of stitching today. I love the red white and blue pair, the idea just popped into my head when I was posting in the thread earlier.

Should have most if not all of the stitching done today. Off tomorrow to stuff my face full of turkey bits then should have everything assembled and ready for shipping on tuesday. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
 
Ah yes, before I forget, again. Modifying up a new pattern for most mid size Busse and Kin, Ash, Gemini, Ash 2, etc. It can be modified to work with alot of stuff. I had this die set built about a year ago and just haven't had the time to roll the model out until now. If you forgo the pouch it is a perfect front panel for an inlay.

Skyler this is an excellent WIP thread! I love seeing all the pictures man. Please keep it up. Very interesting stuff! :thumbup:

The last few give me something to do when I wake up at 2am. I can never sleep more than a couple hours at a time.

Love the pics, I think I see mine!
 
Sweet! I think I see mine too. :)

Insomnia sucks man... But at least you save something productive to do when you wake up!
 
Love the thread that lets us have an insider's POV...and I'm astounded at your work output and amazed that you have time to snap WIP pics...:)

And you work so neatly...:)

After I get finished sharpening a single blade with my EdgePro, my garage looks like Seal Team 6 training room :eek::o
 
LOL!

I had orderly whipped into me at frequent intervals as a child. Gramms was lightning quick with a switch.

Your work area is so neat I'd get hives trying to keep it that way lol. Excellent work and planning. My area looks like its been used for grenade practice along with tools that I forgot to put up and saddles and tack pilled around the edges.
 
Sunday is fun day, Stitching all day since 3am. 18 gallons of coffee later were on the final one.
