Yumm brains

Hot pickled veggies. Delicious.

yea man, i hadnt had it in about a year or so and seen some in the store today and had to get it. Love the stuff. Ate half the jar earlier and the only reason i stopped is because i want to put the rest in a salad tomorrow.

I can remember when i was younger, my father hollering at me from the kitchen "Damn it Richard you ate all the cauliflower out the jar again" LMAO!!! I like everything in the jar but the cauliflower is heaven. And i knew if i finished dads jar he would be pissed, so i would just take all the cauliflower so it didnt look too empty Finally i started getting my own jar.. Win Win!


Spent an hour filing just now, prolly spend another hour or so filing so more tonight after i take a little break. Slow process. And im not rushing the work. But i cant wait a week on the grinder to start. Too excited to get going. Just working on the spine now, shaping the profile out some. I do kind of wish i would of taken advantage of the disc sander a bit before i returned it though LOL

A Catholic Hairdryer

In parochial school, students are taught that lying is a sin. However, instructors also advised that using a bit of imagination was OK to express the truth differently without lying. Below is a perfect example of those
teachings:

Getting a Hairdryer Through Customs.
An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest beside her, 'Father, may I ask a favour?'

'Of course child. What may I do for you?'

'Well, I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday.
It is unopened but well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll
confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through customs for me?
Hide it under your robes perhaps?'

'I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you, I will not lie.'

'With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.'

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go first. The official asked,
'Father, do you have anything to declare?'

'From the top of my head down to my waist I have nothing to declare.'

The official thought this answer strange, so asked, 'And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?'

'I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.'

Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next please!'

5:30am came quick this morning.

Got the spine shaped with files. Added just a bit more curvature. Wanted to start the rest of the profile but i figured cranking up the drill press and starting to drill a bunch of little holes this early in the morning was a bad idea.

But ill get some more done a little bit later. Time for a little nap.

I have a aunt that is a nun. I will be sure to tell her this one. She will get a kick out of it. :thumbup:

Gonna be a busy day here. Hoping I get pretty much the last load of stuff going to my new shop this morning. Then Im gonna come home and try to restore my home workshop to some kind of order. Enough so I can work on some knives that are high priority. Still haven't gotten my new grinder so those duties are still being done here. I will have a grinder at both places which will be nice but the majority of knife work will be done at the new place. Im keeping heat treat and finish work here along with moving my leather shop from my kitchen table to my home shop. Think its going to work out pretty well.
Anyway, lots to do today, check in with y'all later.

 

[Jerry D.]

Fun stuff, Todd! I'm anxious to get the new tour of the shops.



I'm sitting here at the airport with a good hour + to spare before boarding. Ugh... I did watch a guy try to carry on a duffle full of power tools. I understand why he'd want to keep them in sight, but I'm not sure how he thought that would be a good idea.

Had a great time in san francisco yesterday, got to eat at Joes crab shack and saw a live show called "the san francisco dungeon" both my wife and I got to be part of the show. We took public transportion there and back.. probably better than driving there and looking or paying for parking.

 

[worldwood]

Awesome stuff Todd. Pretty cool to be able to still do stuff at the house even when your away from the main shop!!


Well here is a quick picture of the start of my first knife. This will be called the Woody Pecker.

Glad you had a good time bud!! The crab shack sound delicious right now LOL

Im not a fan of the public transportation here... I take it on occasion though. Over crowded and LOUD!! But it is nice to not have to find and pay for parking. When the wife drives to center city its always an issue finding parking, and can cost 10 dollars or more sometimes just to park depending on what you can find and how long you will be there.

Whats up guys. Been sick as hell for 3 weeks with enterovirus D68. Still sick but finally up and around again. Never been so sick in my life. Missed this place.

 

[tanglediver]

Argh! Hard to even pronounce, get well.

Enduring a heat wave, hearing about epic fishing, and reactivating my boat. Work, work, work.....but it's all good.

 

[worldwood]

Hope you get better soon Mauser, sounds like a rough bug.

 

[tradewater]

Any virus with a number in it is bad. Glad you're feeling better Maus.

 

[worldwood]

Snark is running on E today.

I guess ill show my progress so far...

Drilled some holes and starting sawing with the hacksaw...

Got the bugger cut out...

Started filing the ridges down and smoothing it out....

Time for a break from that for a little bit. The finger groove area is being a pain in the butt to get the file in there. Im using both the half round file and the regular bastard mill... Im going to try the triangular file later on, i think it may be a little easy to get the ridges knocked down enough in that grove to where the half round one is more effective.

There's an extremely optimistic individual selling a Blackjack Machax on an auction site right now.

 

[Chameleonbear]

I never would have thought to use the drill to make the majority of the cuts.
