My height isn't what's stopping me from Driving the Woody. There's only one woody I care enough about in this crazy world, I'd rather not cheat on mine.

Nicely done sir, good way to dress up an Old Hickory.

$10 Old Hickory butcher knife, $40 chunk of highly-figured Missouri crotch walnut from Don Hanson III, $30 worth of copper rivets/bolts/liners, $20 worth of top-grade leather... slimmed down and reground to nice keen convex edge... labor? Sheeooot, what's that worth? Minimum wage? :rolleyes:

... that's why I get pissy when folks quibble and balk at the dollar value on a customized/handmade knife... trust me, you really don't want to know what it cost... just swallow hard, cough up the greenbacks and be glad that you're getting serious skill for almost free.

It was a fun project, though.

I hate that you always find things I didn't know that I needed.

Andy Roy is a class act all across the board. I was introduced to him at Blade and we hit it off pretty well. I love his knives, the way he handles himself and his business. He has great taste in beer too, lol I think he bought me and my wife about 6 rounds apiece! :thumbup:

Your advice is very good James. however, while I do agree with you 100% on handling depoisits, I have found that in some cases, it is a nessessary evil. people dont stop to realize that when dealing with a maker, they only have to deal with one guy, that maker however, has to deal with all of his clients and thats a lot harder to do than some poeple think, as Im sure you know. Also, Im sure you know that you have ways of doing business that is a result you getting burned in the past. For example, If someone want there knife personallized I have to get payment in full up front. we all have had the customer that orders a knife, then once its completed doesnt pay. Well, If its personallized, I cant sell that knife to anybody else.

I usually let the payment be totally up to the customer, my only rules are, it must be paid in full before I send it out. the only time I demand payment up front in full is if I know its individual to the person and wouldnt be able to be sold otherwise. outside of those rules, I let the customer decide how there gonna handle it, Some people like to pay up front and have it out of the way, some pay as you go, some all upon completion, and of coarse you get the ones that order knives and then dont wanna pay for them cause they cant manage there money or squander it on junk, or cancel the order once its 3/4 of the way complete. and once I adopted those two rules that I stated above, I dont get burned anymore, I can then take the said knife and sell it to the next guy on the list.

Andy is a swell fella. i have a number of his sheaths, and had a couple knives float through my fingers. when i am not house/life poor again, some more of his stuff is mine. sadly, he sold the one knife i coveted amongst all others and i didn't notice.

course, Meester Hunt is none too shabby. i strongly desire one or two of his designs. again. after the house. that has maximum priority for a little while longer.

but thanks to OBAMA CARING, i have an opportunity to pay less for shittier health care that i don't need, so i'll save a lot of money in 2014.

gah
 
soon, this Winter, is going to be all about sealing the house up.

i have a lead on a long term theft i mean borrow of a FLIR unit, and i'm going to photograph the house, inside, and out, and find out where the shit sux, and then fix it with ROXUL, and caulk, and foam.

beware.

add some lovely wood stove action, and i should spend a LOT less on oil this year.

i hopes.

then more money for knives!

well, honestly, i like axes more right now. and log arches. and log processors (splitting table).

and uh. tools!
 
Condor pack insert.


Apparently the Cardinals clinched the NLCS. I say this cause it is after 2am and there are still drunk people outside cheering "We won" even though they didn't do anything!

Ethan 100% owns the rights on this, so nobody else should be making it.

KaBar WOULD make it, per licensing/etc i'm sure, but there are various implementation issues.

I thought we weren't supposed to get political on here? ;)
 
We are not supposed to get political in here. Right, moderators?

I really like this knife. A lot. RYP's behavior notwithstanding. Thanks to Rolled Edge for letting me try his at the Gathering.

Haha. I got woke up by my 10 yr. old daughter coming in my room and setting her Christmas list on my chest. Lol. Evidently, she's been putting some major thought into it. According to the list. The top choice is a puppy. OH GREAT! :rolleyes: another mouth to feed. ;)
 
Benton's was on the local news the other night, but I can't seem to find the story on the WBIR website. :confused:

more an argument for accuracy in stupidity. None of the people that were drunk and screaming we won have ever laced up their cleats and went to play professional ball. It should be "they" won, or "the cardinals" won. Not "we" won. They didn't do anything besides watch severely overpaid people stand around and throw a ball around while drinking $12 beers.

slept like a baby?! Woke up every two hours wet and crying needing to eat? Glad to see you're actually getting better bubba! Glad the girl is doing better too!
 
That DMT aligner arrived. Pretty psyched about it. Cheap, portable, better than Lansky imo. That BK24 sharpens up like a charm now. In combination with the Lansky for finishing the edge: great!

I don't recall who it was, but a couple years ago a football coach was asked on TV how he slept the night before his team played in the Super Bowl... he said "I slept like a baby! Woke up crying and wet my pants." :D
