Snark it, Snark it Good

Thanks Todd. I owe you a few beers.

Is/was YOLO a common thing?

Yes :thumbdn:

Its definitely a sexy blade. Just an idea.... you could sell a less "finished" version and leave them to do their own polishing. Many a folk here know how to make their knives really purdy looking

There's a huge potential problem with that... you end up with fouled-up knives of your design with your name on them and they wind up on the secondary market or plastered all over the internet, driving your value into the crapper. The whole point of handmade knives is better, more complete finishes (along with better steel, HT, grinds, options etc).

One could always offer ground HT'ed blanks with a completely different mark of course, or no mark at all, and let people build their own handles and so forth. I'm unsure what sort of demand that would garner... but I'll be finding out fairly soon.

Lucky guy. I hope you guys have a great time! :thumbup:

I am sick of winter too and cant wait to get out and have some summer fun. My truck is in the shop getting a new engine so I have a few weeks to go before I get to go anywhere.

Thanks man!!

We had rented this cabin last month for my birthday weekend but there was suppose to be a huge snow storm so we rescheduled it this weekend to give us a better chance at no snow.

I been counting the days down. Now this close im sitting here packing stuff up. Got a big bag full of knives ready and even ordered a playpen for the pup that packs down flat to take with us. Im ready and excited!!

last of yesterday and first of today...
you people are sleeping on the job!
good idea.

I reckon most of them are sleeping after their jobs.

I was actually literally sleeping on the job........

I can do that. They hirin'?

We could possibly use a guy for a couple nights a week over the summer and for when I need time off.

I have to try get my pooch into the vet today. I was giving her some belly rubs yesterday and noticed a bulge that hadn't been there before. I'm kinda thinking its a hernia beings it showed up out of nowhere. I might end up selling a few custom knives or a gun to get her fixed up if it gets spendy. The weird thing is it doesn't seem to bother her at all. She will let us check it out without flinching or anything.

The commute from TN to ND may prove problematic.

Hope she's OK. Probably best to get it checked out sooner rather than later.

We could try to get you 2 or 3 days in a row to make the commute more worth your time.

She will definitely be going to the vet asap. If our local guy can't get her in today or tomorrow, I'll find someone out of town that can.

I tried, no fingernails=no ALOX .

Yea, I can't always be there to open a tool for you. You have to learn to do it for yourself.

 

[gmoneyluv]

Morning folks! Already on my second cup of coffee. Heading out to do some trail clearing. Taking a chainsaw, loppers and the 9 - I think I'm covered.

 

[gmoneyluv]

James, do you ever sleep? Just noticed that you're also up.

I also refuse to carry a knife pick.

Thanks. I do too. She seems completely normal other than the bulge. She met me at the door when I got home earlier and ran around like she usually does when I let her out. Hopefully its not as serious as I'm thinking it is. I'm sitting here waiting for 8am to come around so I can get an appointment made for her for as soon as possible.

I sure hope not. Those are some of the dumbest things ever.

Sorry to hear that bud!! Hope everything turns out ok for yall.

Do you have pet insurance?

I went ahead and got insurance on Neko. Its only 30 something a month for the one i got, which was the best option offered. This one reimburses 90% of every claim for anything not a prior condition, meaning any injury or illness that wasnt here before the insurance kicked in, and there was no conditions then.

I figure its better to have and not need than need and not have.

 

[ac700wildcat]

Nope, no insurance. I hopefully have what it will cost to fix her up and if not, I can always raise the extra cash by selling a few things. I'll do what I need to, to keep her healthy.

Might just be a fatty cyst AC. That happened to my moms cat, and it was no biggy. Hope the pup is alright bud.
