Been a while since I've been able to visit the shop .. as a matter of fact, I havent been able to get to the shop since the Guild meeting last month. Apparently the world could not turn without me assisting it at my day job. I was starting to twist in pain .. cause I havent been able to buy myself a new Fiddleback in over a month!!
This visit has almost 50 pics. Andy was headed out the door for the Knife Makers Guild meeting so this week's production was nothing more than prep work for next week's knives. All knives for this coming Friday are coming from 'the reserve' caddys .. and whew doggie .. there are some grails in there for sure. NOTE: there's A LOT of pics of the Reserve caddys .. 3 full/double stacked caddys. Not all of the knives pictured will be available on Friday, only some of them. Which ones? I dont have a clue. That's up to Allen & Phillip to decide.
The crew getting blades, glue ups, and shipping done ..
Phillip & David answering all the PMs VANCE had stacking up on the forum.
Allen finished Glue Ups and made it back out to the grinders for handle scales prep work.
David on the opposite side from Allen .. working on blade blanks.
All quiet in the prep room. The 'table' is still used for scales getting prepped/glued. Far counter is also for scale prep work.
Blade Blank wall ... check out that bottom left corner.
More blade blanks & A2 blanks back from grinding room.
I saw Vance posted these up in the Production thread - but here's the next Mid-Tech Production knives coming. The Duke & Kephart.
The .100 is the measurement of the handle gradation.
This caddy was still in the grinder area. Thinking the next stop may be hand sanding. Maybe they're part of next week's inventory?
Not sure .. and no one was around to tell me what's up with them. Some nice ones here tho.
