Been eating your Wheaties, huh?

...Somebody remind me to never brawl with him...
 
Making a few "bushcrafter" type knives, but currently focusing on photographing my knives so I can start putting my website together.

I got a hold of a Spyderco mule that I handled like a week or two ago. Made a sheath for mine.

Then, I had a member ask me to handle his mules.

Very nice everyone. I spent today getting caught up on leather. I do a full cleanup in the shop every time I set up for it, so it's become a weekly thing at this point.

I get the nasty dirty stuff out of the way during the week, and then save the nice relaxing shop cleanup/leatherwork for the weekends, while listening to some good tunes.

Sorry for the dirty knives. I tape them up to protect them while molding, and hadn't re-cleaned them yet.

I like the photos JTDesign
Good stuff being shown here, good motivation to keep the aim high.

Nick, you're holding your knife in the wrong hand :D (sorry couldn't help myself. Impressive vids!)

Here's three close to getting ready for HT. I find my grinding is improving more and more with every blade I do.
Still a lot to learn, but that never stops.
I grind to 280 then start hand sanding 220 at the moment.
For whomever is also learning how to grind, get a bubble jig!
I went from: 'I hate my grinder' to 'we're still not best friends but he does help me out a lot'

I set myself a goal; I want to get a VS 2x72 with a flat platen and small wheels but I want to earn it with the knives I can make with what I have at the moment.
(not a sales pitch I have nothing for sale)

I should probably point out I wasn't mad about firebolt's post--- I would have used these :grumpy: :mad: if I was. ;) LOL And just FWIW, I'll go back to clean up my mess in a few days. :)

Brian- those look fantastic... and that sheath is KILLER. :)

Same for you Ian. :)

Nice looking blades Hengelo, I'll be looking forward to seeing them finished up. :)

Yeah but I did see a lil smirk at the end of the third video...and it screamed "was that accurate enough for you smart a@@es". :p

And FWIW yes it was plenty impressive...both knife and operator. :thumbup:
