Got the bugger cut out...

Serrated as well as jimped to the last 1/4 inch!

 

[Murphnuge]

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

Relief cuts.

 

[tanglediver]

At least you didn't have to drill those "overhead". Overhead drilling is the second least favorite job of mine behind overhead torch-cutting and gouging.

 

[Chameleonbear]

Relief cuts.

I totally understand it, and it's fairly brilliant. I just never would have thought of it.

:thumbup: It sure made it a lot easier than just using the hacksaw.

 

[worldwood]

Jerry, that would be some ROUGH jimping LOL

James would prolly dig it though

Relief cuts.

Excellent!! I didnt know what it was called, it just seemed like an easier plan... But now i can sound smarter calling it relief cuts

Oh yea man, it would of sucked overhead LOL

Hey... Could that be where the MAGIC comes from? The jimping, or the relief cuts.
Hmmmm

He really seems to want to hide it.. Methinks he doth protest too much!

Made it back from the cabin. Had fun, but admittedly, wasn't as fun alone. Used my new Yuma though. Will post a thread tomorrow on Todd's forum when I get home from work, :thumbup:

By the way Todd, tent make it to you? Everything okay?

 

[The Warrior]

Its like Christmas around here for me today. (Come to think about it, better than Christmas, considering I usually get get squat ) Anyway, my new tent I bought off of Dubz got here. All ready set it up and checkin it out. Its just what I was after. No pics yet. Getting ready to head out to football game.
On top of that, as you guys know ive been in the process of moving my shop. Im building a small office and ive been looking for a good metal sturdy office desk. Lookin for one of the built right old ones on the cheap. Low and behold, out of the blue, my mother in law pulls up in the driveway with one in fantastic shape just like I was lookin for in the back of her truck. Said she found it at a yard sale for $20. bucks and thought of me. I gladly reached into to my pocket to pay her for it and she said. "No charge, my gift to you" pretty cool man. Couldnt be happier.

Ah, I found it. Good deal man. I hated getting rid of it, but glad it went to a good home.

 

[worldwood]

Looks like i will be getting another sheath from JD!!

Sending out another monstrous chopping machine....

Sweet looking 'Pecker' there WW

I went somewhere this weekend and had lots of fun, but I'm also so tire and sore . Helped to pour a concrete pad 96 x 73 x 22 inches deep - an addition to the building. Had to dig it all out, make the forms, and mix and pour the concrete. All completed in two days... also during my time there I sharpened and reprofiled 3 knives and 2 machete's. In the downtime from that work... gardening lots and lots of gardening Fun times.

 

[spikebot587]

Went to a local gunshow today hoping to find a couple old Kabars and walked away with a new deer rifle. Winchester model 94 30-30, one if my grail guns

 

[TBL]

That's beautiful Spike! My father in law has one of those! It was his fathers, He has 'X' marks on the stock for every moose he has gotten with it. There are quite a few X's lol

 

[spikebot587]

That's awesome! I've been wanting one of these for about 5 years now and was going to get just a basic marlin 336 but saw this at the show for less than the marlin and couldn't pass it up

 

[dresnor]

My dad just passed down his Model 94 to me. I have to get it cleaned up and I hope to bag a deer with it. I don't know my guns as well as I want to but I am proud to have it.


While my first knife is at Todd's being heat treated I roughed out two more blanks to work on. These 5/32 thick and have a 4.5 inch blade. I have a lot more work to do but I am still having fun.

[granitestateofmind]

Looking good, Dres. Does this mean we will be having venison at the Northeast?

 

[zzyzzogeton]

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.

WW - you might get a 2 or 3 round files in different diameters for getting into tight turns like that. They are available in a wide variety of diameters.

 

[Guyon]

Took first place in my fantasy golf league. Payout should just about cover this one.

 

[dresnor]

I doubt it. Rifle season in Maine starts in November.

Unless I hit one the way down...
