what did you do on new years day?

Lon, I was right there with ya. In the shop around 8am and NOT nursing a hangover. I was the designated driver/ bartender for the party. I made up for it the next evening though. We do a neighborhood bonfire and burn the Christmas trees, had a blast.

Two questions. What's the handle material? And where's your respirator? We want you around making knives next year.
 
yeah mike i didn't drink either matter of fact i didn't leave the house after i got back from the grocery store, (kraut and pork loin)

the handle material is curly maple and my respirator was hanging on the wall which might sound bad BUT i installed a kickin blower on the other side of the wall. it takes so much dust out of the air the girlfriend hasn't had to dust upstairs since i put it in. i have messed with filtering the air in the finish shop for about 6 months. you can see the fan hanging from the ceiling with a furnace filter on the suction side, that helped but i still had to wear a mask

with this set up no dust in my coffee cup :) and that makes me smile
 
That is one serious blower/sucker:D. Glad to see you being proactive on the dust collection:thumbup:. I have a knifemaker friend who wasn't and is paying for it now with some nasty lung issues.
 
yeah Mike I hate wearing a mask and I hate dust even more. Sorry about your friend silicosis is nothing to play with
