The "Whatever" Thread

survived the family reunion.
400 miles round trip and tried to put myself in both a meat coma and a pie coma.
 
Just to see if I could do it, I made myself a buck saw.(I don't really need it, just wanted to do it if you know what I mean. :rolleyes:)
Not professional grade, but serviceable and I'm very happy with the outcome.:thumbup:
All together it cost around $20 (give or take a couple) with materials bought at Lowe's.(not counting the spray on Acrylic I had on hand)
Not bad for just using a hack saw, cordless drill, files/sand paper, pocket knife & a drillpress vice and doing it on the dinning room table.:)
It is nice and solid and the 24" blade should be a good size for campfire sized wood.:thumbup:

Yeah - nice Myke - now you just need to get it a good try out and buck up some wood. Probably best not to do that off the dining room table too :D.

As for surviving family reunions - getting into a coma sounds like a good strategy. My wife is an EXCELLENT pie maker so I could submit to that easily.
Welcome home Mr Vic.

I need to spend more time in this thread. There's some great stuff here. Nice pistola, a dream Schrade and super cool butcher on this page alone.

I just got in from a long weekend of teaching and this thread has really got it all!

Beautiful traditional knives and Goncalo Alves Rugers - all good stuff!

Great looking saw, Mykel! All the more impressive with being done with limited tooling.

Been there done that!

Which direction was your 400 miles (away from your home)?

Mmm - Old Hickory

Mmmmm - GP100

The things I miss when the internets down at work.

Good news - the kitchen knife arrived. Now to figure out what I'm going to do with it!

I didn't know they had one in Tennessee. Dang, I missed out.

They don`t anymore. It was in Nashville at Opry Mills. They never reopened after the flood a few years back. There was actually three knife stores there, none any more.

Beautiful country, Erik -

I still need to get down your way to attend one of your gatherings - I did not even do or plan a bike tour this summer.

The concealed carry training business is keeping me on my toes (And off of my motorcycle).
