Can’t think of a better way to escape the snowfall in Illinois this past weekend. Some pics for the bf community:
Entrance (obviously)
Robert from
@Fiddleback Outpost was gracious enough to use his wizard-like knot skills and equip my mango runt with a fiddleback bullseye bead - thanks again Robert and Phillip. It looks outstanding!
One of the rare times Andy didn’t have a crowd around him at the grinder.

Catered lunch
“Iron in the Hat” drawing directly after lunch included a knife give away drawing and many knifemaking materials. The younger ‘newbies’ scored big time at this event. Many knives on display from various makers as well.
Worked with two outstanding individuals (Justen and Eric), who shared their equip and expertise to make a sheath for my new box lunch chef knife by
kmellino
. This project gave me a whole new appreciation for stitching 3 thick pieces of leather together by hand. My fingers are still sore. This took much longer than I anticipated. Thanks again
@Southern Gent!
Final product - first sheath!
Great to meet makers, collectors, and hobbyists over the weekend. Thanks again

for saving me on Sat morn. I was like a lost child wandering around Trackrock with my empty holiday inn cup in search of coffee. Finding your campsite/coffee made my day so much better.
@Rick Lowe I’ll be in contact about that pattern you drew up. And for those that don’tknow
