No changes. Cattle all the way. It’s kinda nice to just avoid the morning indecision of ‘what to carry’.

[paulhilborn]

Thanks Rob, I had a couple Vipers in the past and sold them off sometime back. Thought I'd try another from this release and glad I did...I sure like it Carried again today.

Nice Steve, at first glance I thought my name was on the tang stamp of the Lamb

 

[Oldy]

My friends, for the remainder of the day I’ll be carrying my A Wright Lambsfoot gifted to me by @sf fanatic! It’s my first lambsfoot and I’m loving it! Pinchable with a perfect pull and gorgeous, too!

Also pictured are two beautiful works by @Jiki. I traded two spoons and a spootanula for these bad boys! Jim is an amazing carver but he’s a terrible negotiator because he got ripped off big time in this trade!!!!

My son is taking the Santa for show and tell tomorrow!! Little turd hasn’t ever taken anything I carved so I may trade him to Jim for some more cool stuff!

But seriously, I can’t express how good it makes me feel to know that there are such kind and wonderful human beings in the world. Thank you so much, gentlemen. These will be treasured gifts that are passed on to my son someday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Jiki can eat with his spoons,you can not do anything with the carvings except appreciate them.so maybe jiki is laughing all the way from the kitchen.

 

[JOELSM]

Went with copper today.

[Jack Black]

Hope everybody's having a fine morning
I'm getting ready to go to Tennessee for a week or two, so I think I'll pull the batteries out of the bike and mower today. The bike's kind of done for the moment anyway. I rode Tuesday and did not like the look of the rear tire when I got back. I was planning on replacing it next spring anyway, but it caught me off guard how fast it's worn down in the last few rides. Its probably got a thousand miles of life left, but I'm very conservative when it comes to motorcycle tires, cause the ground hurts
Anyway, enough prattling on
Cards this evening
29 in the pocket

Safe travels Mike

Always a pleasure to see one of Stan’s knives. Must’ve been a treat to watch him work and do things the old ways.



It happens to the best of us.

Thanks for sharing those old photos. I remember walking up Howard Street (which is pedestrian now, of course) from the train station to my hotel. Looks a lot different now, doesn’t it?

I imagine most of us would have a field day if we could go back and look through that old cutlery shop!

Yeah, I miss him Barrett Be time to send his widow, Rosemary, a Christmas card soon. Thank you my friend, I sometimes think of you trudging up Howard Street! I preferred it how it was, but it looks better now than it did a couple of decades ago. Not a very welcoming station to arrive at, Sheffield, with the town up the hill, and some distance away, but, again, it looks better than in the past. Do you know, I never went in that cutlery shop! When I knew it, it was smaller than in the photo, with just an entrance door, and it specialised mainly in table cutlery (perhaps travellers wanting to take a last minute souvenir with them). At the time, there were plenty of better shops in Sheffield, to buy knives, and I was always racing to the fishing tackle shop (which also sold a good range of knives). Obviously, in retrospect, I regret never going in

She did indeed Jack, and that was just the start . Pen/Knife fit like a glove

That's nice to hear Jeremy

Welcome to the club! That's some incredible carving

My friend, I am battling some terrible tendinitis in my right arm that keeps acting up. Getting old sucks and I’ve only just begun!

Sorry to hear that I have been out of action for a year at a time with it, and it never really gets better

Thank you to @SoansoMcMasters for the spoons. They are awesome.

Ps. Carvers don't keep score.

That sword-holding pose looks different without more of the sword showing.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I tried that on cracked horn handle, but I think most of it just got on the outside. Couldn't really tell how much actually made it into the crack. Any tips?

Super Glue is used a lot in making instruments. If you were to go online to a luthier supplier, like Stewart MacDonald, you can get it in different grades of thickness. The thinnest will more readily seep into a tight crack, rather than sit on top.

Keep ‘er rubber side down, Mike! Enjoy your Tennessee Travels.

Thanks Guys

Jeff, I never would have thought of luthier suppliers

It also never occurred to me that super glue could be had in different viscosities

Rufus1949 also gave me some info. You guys are great!
