Enjoy!


My main bench



The scales are just siting on the knives... I am going to try a peened copper pin on the green micarta petty.




Grinders! I need to work on my dust collector...




The shop!
 
Hell of a job, D. If those kitchen knives look anything close to your last batch, there are gonna be some happy folk. Same with those Riggers!

You see the dust collection system I hooked up? Was a pretty cheap trip to the hardware store and so far does a good job gathering particles.

I've had the itch lately for a new sharp. Any RF1's in the pipe?

Thanks! The pic makes them look rough but they will be nice! :D

I just need to find the time to hook it up, I am likely going to move things around some more too... I barely have room to walk between my tile saw (for scales) and chop saw being in there! Plus it's going to be cold with that collector running! lol

I have new RF2's coming up pretty soon, I started a big group a ways back and while they are looking like working knives the detent, lockup, final sizing and finishing take a few days per knife. I'll be mixing up finishes, etc for lots of variety.

I have a couple of RF1's coming up but they are most likely going to people on the old list... after that the first run will be done but I will be making more shortly.

Sara is due this week so I may be taking some time off soon... I'm getting as much done as I can now! :eek:
 
"Sara is due this week"

Ha! And I was holding my breath for my chef's knife and a backpacker. But I'll just breathe again now :) and wish you and Sara an absolutely wonderful time! Good luck and congratulations!
 
Huzaaaaahhh!

What an exciting time in the Fairly household! All the best dude!

Big thanks from all of us! :D




Thanks for the tour, Daniel!

Much appreciated!

I will have some Chef's Knives and Backpackers up soon... maybe not really soon but as soon as possible! :D
 
Congrats on the due date, Daniel! We'll have our first child - a daughter - in a matter of days! Awesome time for us!
