It's the last time I'm carrying this knife. I bought it from Estonia and now I'm giving it as a birthday gift to a collegue and friend. A lady whose both into outdoor life and also folklore. Should fit her nicely. The sheath looks now better than in the picture, I did a bit of refinishing like some sanding of the edges and a hot beeswax treatment.

Such a cool little knife- I’m sure she’ll love it.
 
The knife I got for Xmas today. A four blade Roughrider stockman. Clip main, sheepsfoot, Spey and caplifter. I however turned the Spey into a clamshell package opener. Kind of a gut hook thing with a small spatula tip. Should prove more useful to me than the Spey, (I’m not fixing any animals and don’t really need two blades with belly on my knife).

I awoke to cold and windy conditions outside, so I waited until our new dog needed a walk and the fireplaces needed a re-fill to take a pic of my tote today. Morning temps of -5° wind chill eventually rose to 3° wind chill when I walked at 10:00 am. My tote is a Queen #31 medium congress from 1961-1971. I'm guessing that it is from the rear end of that period, as the covers are Delrin in the Winterbottom jigging. A single spring knife, this is easy totin'.

That Strat is annoying my wife as we speak. I laid on as many thin coats of lacquer as I could get away with in this weather - hope it's thick enough- and is now mounted on a 2x2 through the neck pocket, which is stuck in a drawer of an antique cabinet in the living room. It needs to cure for a couple of weeks before I can wet sand and clear coat it.View attachment 1058810

The one I'm working on today is the 4th of 4 that I've worked on for this one guy. The first three were pretty simple - a little fret work, neck adjustments, intonation ...just a set up. This one was a basket case. I replaced all the electronics, once I get the bone nut fitted and cut and slotted, I'll be able to string it up and see if I got the electronics right. This guy is the guitar player for a woman in her church band, and I play with her in another band. She asked if I'd look at one of his guitars for him, since she knew I'd built my own. One guitar led to another... But he pays me, so that's cool.

My #1 electric, a home built. African mahogany from the sawmill, and a flamed piece of maple for the neck that I found in the racks at Menards.View attachment 1058811View attachment 1058812

Sweet Tele, do you belong to the Tele " TDPRI " forum ? I do but not very active any more.

Are those orange bell peppers or habanero peppers?
Nice micarta.

Habaneros? Never. Those are little sweet peppers. The hottest I mess with are poblanos, and those are a very mild "hot" pepper. Even the Tabasco sauce I prefer is the chipotle, which is milder than the original.
I usually grow a mess of poblanos and jalpenos, but I'm judicious with the jalapenos. What can I say - I'm a very sensitive man.
I do have a bottle of habanero hot sauce in the fridge, though. Mixed with water, it makes a great rabbit repellent in the garden.

Thanks~ micarta is so practical... strong and durable as well as handsome.

Thank you! And yes, I am!
The building sub-forum "HOME DEPOT" taught me everything about building my own. Incredible resource. Just like BF for my other hobby!;)

Thanks Jack, although a wee bit of luck never hurts. ;) Waiting for the results afterwards is the worst part anyway ...

Great combo on your side as well! :thumbsup: A well loved 15 is always nice to see and of course the obligatory lambsfoot to seal of the deal. :D

For sure Isk, fingers crossed, and I hope you're not waiting too long :) Thanks for the kind words :thumbsup:

I’ve already been to town and back this morning and I had these two in my pocket! My truck showed 19F this morning which is cold for this area. :D
