A little bit of work in progress

This is a dagger that I have owed Mike for years. I figure if he's making the trip from California I could probably get it around for him

Damn.

Very random- A lady I know has a caramel candy business here. She had 2 new-to-her machines shipped from the lower 48 and needed some help with unpacking them and bolting parts together to get them running, which I was happy to help with. One machine was built in the 1950’s and is just amazing. It pulls wrap, cuts, inserts caramel candy, folds the wrapper, twists each end, then pushes each piece onto a chute. All done with gears, motor, 2 chain drives, and the coolest parts/pieces. It has around 50 grease zerts. Watching the machine work is amazing. It weighs 1600lbs and all metal/brass. I think any knife nut or gearhead would get a kick out of it. It is nice to see something designed to be worked on and not just replaced.

Sounds pretty amazing! We need a photo!

SO decided you were buying too much stuff?

*** just checked, both Amazon and Prime Video are working fine for me.

they heard Nathan is about to ship them their dagger, so they stopped working for a bit so they could celebrate.

USPS didn't use a Ford delivering that one, did they ?

Cool, would love to see it.

That is what happens if one tumble a big slab of rock together with a D3V dagger.
So predictable and repeatable.

Ok, I'll bite:

^ the CPK D3V is so mighty that it reduced a big ol' slab of rock to the granules shown in that photo.

The rock gets crushed by the D3v.

Ah, ok. This is why I shouldn't type anything before at least my 2nd cup of coffee in the morning.
