Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 08/11/2015

[bonafide]

Well folks, I think today was my last visit I'll have at the 'old shop'. It was halfway emptied at this point with just the necessities still in place to keep knife making duties in swing. The crew is waiting for the final inspection at the new shop and should be moving the working operations into it next week. I have 'day job' stuff occupying my normal Tuesday visit again next week so you won't see another sneak peek for 2 weeks where it will be coming from 'new shop'. Exciting times! They crew is still getting knives made as well as working weekends to make the transition go as smooth as possible.

Judy (40point) & Aubrey (Red Hammer) were getting 'Caddy #3' glued together as I arrived.

Phillip (VANCE) getting blade scribed on the steel bars. Blue = O1, Red = A2

Very nice, thank you. I've been good the past few weeks but I see a few I'd get my feet wet for.

 

[Scotcha]

Haven't you been trying for a Kephart for a couple weeks?

Ever since the post office incident.

Just waiting for the right one. Now if that's 5/32 taper tang I'll knock an old lady over for it.

Pretty sure that Emerald green Kephart in the handle shaping caddy was 1/8" SFT

 

[D.H.]

I like snazzy burl handle scales as much as the next guy, but I also really like understated, straight grained scales too.

Makes me feel all sharky inside when I see stuff like this:

And the Kepharts here:
