Great pics, John. I love visiting Dorchester. My wife's great grandfather is buried near the entrance door to the abbey. We spent 3 nights at the White Hart this spring and ate at the George a couple of times.
Still carrying my Case tadpole.

Great pics Jeff !

Kind of you to say so, buddy!
And gotta tell ya, love the old stag and peachseed bone you’ve got there.

Terrific trio of knives, Harry!
I always enjoy seeing your walking stick projects.
Here's one I've messed with for a few minutes every week or two since last summer. It's an oak branch from a big limb that fell out of the neighbor's tree into our front yard. For now, I'll probably leave the bark on it; I've just tried to smooth it off by sanding with 80-grit sandpaper.
Going for a rustic look, I guess.

No, I'm also clueless, unless there's been some technological advance that allows an instrument to be inserted in the smaller opening to get the same (or more) info that used to require taking the whole lid off.

One of these days, I've got to start a thread titled something like "Manhole Covers etc. and Traditional Knives". I've got quite a variety of photos I could post, and I'm curious to see "cast iron art" from around the country and beyond!

Hi Gary, I noticed you said you’d been absent a lot because your daughter was in town. Which tells me you have your priorities in line. I…try… to not have my nose buried in my phone when in the company of family and friends. Damned things are insidiously addictive.

About your “a few minutes a week since last summer” work on your stick…
What’s the rush?

You may have something about the strange add-ons to manhole covers. I was thinking they were locks to prevent tampering or theft.

Grabbed this beefy Stag liner lock Trapper for the weekend.

I really like mine - but I'd trade it even-Steven for an Accuracy International lead slinger...

Navette 'Venus" by Coursolle

You are correct, it is Wagyu. This was a ribeye cap, and it was exceptionally fatty.

Good luck with your steer. Hope he tastes good!

Thanks. He better taste good because there were a lot more calm ones I could have kept!

Many thanks buddy, I hope you have a lovely Christmas, and a fantastic trip That looks like a really useful companion

Thanks Jack. I’m not ready to proclaim it my knife of the year but I have been enjoying it.

Bart, I was on a roll a couole of years ago. I had a great source of empty red wine bottles, and figured out how to cut, grind, and polish the necks into slides. I have multiple cigar boxes full, besides a few store bought ones of steel, brass, and ceramic. But in a pinch, I have also used a Craftsman 11/16 deep well socket, or the back of a pocketknife

I use one so infrequently just having a couple around works for me. Definitely been known to improvise with whatever is available, including my wedding ring, one string at a time.

Lamb and a Stockman

Really interesting handle shape on that lamb. Don’t know that I’ve seen one like that before. Reminds me of the handle on one of my fixed blades.

Good Morning Porchsters,
Best laid plans and all that, whilst working over the weekend on a project that could be completed and thus job finished, the customer decided to screw down the floor boards in the upstairs landing and screwed a water pipe to the floor joist, over course the water leak ruined the downstairs hall ceiling that I painted last week. So the job I wanted to do had to stop while I took the floor boards up in the landing and bathroom and repaired the pipe. The upshot of it all is that I am working again today and not on Holiday as Planned/Anticipated.
On a positive note a MIA knife unexpectedly turned up, a nice Ablett Jack,, its a lovely gentle pull for my old arthritic hands and fingers, Its unusual in that ALL marking are etched/lasered. Have a lovely day and think of me grafting hard at work whilst you while away the hours. I think I only have two Abletts missing now.
