Week-end Post, What Are You Doing

Got home on Friday from a two week visit with familly.
Saturday I started cutting my 1.5 acre lawn which grew 2 feet with all the rain we had while I was away. Then I got the sattelite dish up and running.

Today once the rain stops, I will clean up the burning barrel the bear ripped up while we were away, and do some more of the lawn.

Taht's what I should do. Forge some bronze! Wish i could make 1/8 inch pins out of some of it.
 
Kook is coming over, and we're going to weld up some cable.

Went to my nieces combination graduation/18th birthday party last night, open bar, still a little hammered but that's okay :D
 
I will be doing some shopping with the wife for a new microwave because ours petered out. Then to the shop for a while to work on a couple of knives. Maybe go for a fish tonight i heard the walleye are biting.

Click to expand...

go to a good welding shop and get 1/8 inch brazing rod, voila, 1/8 inch pins, if you are using epoxy on your handles, spin 4 inch lengths in a drill, and gently hold sharp new 120 grit sandpaper against it to give it some tooth for the epoxy

Been working out in the shop all week. Also, been cutting trees down as well. The 3 tree's was about 90 feet tall. I am happy that job over. Saturday will be cleaning up the shop. Sunday I think its going to rain here. So, if it rains all week-end long the BBQ will have to wait Hope you all week-end looks great. -----------:)
 
I'm rebuilding my shade structure... er, I mean workshop. No, I mean shade structure if you are from the city. Maybe I won't get rained on in october!
 
Heading out in 10 minutes to do the forging demo at the Pork, Pine, and Peanut Festival in Surry,VA.

Back from todays events. I had a good day....even sold 6 knives ( which was not anticipated). Forged a couple bowies, a bunch of blacksmith projects, and spent about 3 hours working on the blade for the Ashokan Pole Arm Challenge.
I also forged a small belt axe from Wrought Iron with an inserted 1084 bit, of which the entire welding and shaping process was filmed by a local cable TV channel. They are going to let me know when it is edited and ready to run. Thank God, the weld took and the edge drew out to a nice shape ( it doesn't always go perfect, you know).
More fun tomorrow.

I went to the Cental Texas Knife Show yesterday,had a real good time and got some nice mamoth ivory. Today got some ribs on the pit smokin and gonna do a little work in the shop.
 
Back from Sunday's forging. 92 degrees, but a nice breeze. I finished forging the blade for the pole arm challenge. Met some nice blacksmiths and got invited to demo sword forging at a guild meeting. Took some interesting orders, and sold some blacksmithed items. Al together a great weekend.

Its been a big week here in the shop. But this week-end I will be ripping out the old landscape timbers from around one side of the home and installing new one about 60.5 feet of treated. The old ones was about fifteen years old.:yawn:

Also, will be cleaning up the shop and getting the yard work done. Sunday will be ripping out some old brown grass and re-seeding some good old blue grass in. Sunday night I have plans on designing a new pattern for a knife. How's your week-end shaping up? :)
 
Going to the NCCA knife show in Marlboro MA on sunday, today i'm working on building a hearth pad and planning the flue for a new pellet stove that's sitting in the middle of my living room.
 
Two more skinner knives are finished including the sheaths, one of the customers is going to pick his up today.

Now I am going to turn my efforts towards the bathroom renovation. Start pulling up the walls to remove the tub to make room for a new shower stall to go in its place.
