Hoss has spoken, lol.

For what it's worth, I was unable to recognize the first letter as a Y right off the bat. The whole idea of putting your name on anything is for recognition.

Man, I haven't made a cigar box banjo in a long time (probably around 50 years). I may have to grab an empty box and make one from a piece of nice wood and a cool box. Maybe a cigar box ukulele, too.

Show it when you do it. It's on my to do list.

Been a while since I posted here. So, here's one I'm trying to finish up. 80crv2 and curly maple.

Trying to figure out a way to apply aqua Fortis to the curly maple but get it to penetrate very deep and then send blocks off to k&g. I love the way it makes the wood look but it's kind of a pain to use! Also tried tru oil for the first time -- it dries way too fast for me! I have so much cleanup to do now it's crazy...

Got a stencil made but I botched the etch up pretty good. I accidentally moved the stencil while etching... Lol another one for my shop knife pile

Finally picked up a surface plate from Grizzly. Turns out I just can't get things quite flat on my disc grinder. (User error - it spins too fast for me)

Angle grinder is amazing tool .Probably I can t make single one knife without angle grinder Today I found new way to use it .I have no idea how to open that slots for gard in /HSS steel/ knife and 2.5mm slot in gard for good fit .........Makita do it for me again

Inside was bronze temporary pin , just to hold gard in place till I shape it so I can peen pin .After grinding bevels I will use stainless pin for final assembly .

I already make one , almost finished ......need more work on bevels and handle but it will wait to finish this two first

I have made beautiful piece of carbon for gard on this one .

One more thing . . . if you have small drill press like me and you want long, deep and precise hole to drill , support your drill press plate because they flex to much ......... it is no problem on shallow hole but .....

I will call this one Spite Fighter He fight with me from start ...I barely saved bevels ... then I forget that this MF is HSS and start hand sanding ........and ruined good belt finish Then I decide to use 5 min. epoxy to seal and install/peen gard so I can use free time i have to install scale.........and glued it and peen it backwards , can you believe that ?? Next time I over peen new pin and I had to use file to correct gard from blade side So here I m ........almost done .BUT this MF does not give up , I just see one more scratch
That walnut is best I ever put on handle , i will make short video clip when I finish it , if this ever end up ............

In the meantime I grind bevels on the third/last one.........this one is Lamb compared to this MF..

I either have to stop looking at this thread or hide my wallet.

Well guys what happening this days in my shop is not funny anymore Hole in blade for gard pin was 3mm , and I drill 3.5mm hole in gard by mistake. Then I enlarge hole in blade for gard pin on 4mm and guess what ....... I drill 4.5mm hole in gard ?????? Now I need to find/make 4.5mm pin or to drill 5mm everything
Second one is finished , hardest , the thinnest and lightest /115 grams/ F1 copy on planet is ready ....

And one more thing ............. this small Makita STAY here , for cutting I have another one . I will make some intelligent/adjustable stand .I think that it can do many things for me .........It was joke to open precisely that 3mm slot in gard ,fit is very tight .

Haven’t done any grinding lately but did manage to process these today. With a little luck (and heat) these should be dry for stabilizing in a month.
