...and muscles.Never forget the value of learning to file and draw-file with accuracy... with and without jigs/guides. It's a skill that comes in handy anyway, plus it builds character.

go figure. Anyway, he thought it was all side effects from the meds I was on for the pneumonia. So he changed them and I felt like a million bucks today........ my doctor has known me all of my life. He told me to tell my wife he could fix the eyes and the sleepwalking. But me being a asshole has pretty much set in permanently. Lol. 
after that.
Hey bud i think this is a miscommunication... I dont mean it like its unheard of, just thought that was awesome. Sorry im not good at expressing myself by typing. I should of put one of these
And i am selling the knife to fund stuff for knife making... Sorta kinda..... What im saying is i cant just wait and save the money up, im paying 3 times the amount due on my land now to pay it off early so all my extra money is going to that.
Ah screw it, I designed a mini hawk multi-tool. Im calling it the Hex Hawk. It will have hex cutouts to be used on bolts. And a handle cutout to make it lighter. I cant cut these shapes with a hacksaw and files and it be functional so a waterjet comes into play. It could be worn as a necklace or used as a keychain. The design has already been checked and approved by the waterjet people and even complimented. And i have family friends loving the design as well, in fact they are willing to buy enough for me to make a profit and cover all the fees associated with making them and HT them, Plus ill still have a handful left over. But i wont take money upfront even though 1 of them offered. So thats the main thing the money is for. The rest will go to stones and belts. But i really need the money for CAD, waterjet fees, stones, and belts.
Im passionate about this design and want to see it happen more than i want a knife hanging on the wall.
See its knife related in a way LOL.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didnt mean anything i said negatively.

Granite.... that BK7 is freakin coooooooool.
A little progress report for you, JT - jimping! ... I knew you'd like it
Will do bud. The waterjet service that ill be using is pay by the hour not the cutout, he gave me a rough estimate of how many he can get cutout in an hour, and i should definitely have some extras. I want a couple for myself
I planed to go orange regardless if i sold anything on BF just because of all the help i have gotten here and it would make me mentally think im more of a knife maker LMAO!!
I just have another 5 months left on gold and dont want to waste the money i spent for that membership... Ill figure something out. Ill for sure go orange before i list anything for sale that i made though. obviously LOL
Man anyone here tried to use CAD?? Im sure some have. I downloaded this free version that has a tutorial when you start it.... I about punched my computer, i couldn't make it through the tutorial LMAO That crap is CRAZY!!
