I may be moving into a 600 sq ft dedicated space.... not a garage. But a shop. We will see if my excitement is justified after tomorrow....

 

[RedFury]

Not in the shop but on the shop. This has been planned for at least 15 years. Had the plan before knifevirus hit me.

Working on photos. This forum always drives me wild about accepting photos

 

[RedFury]

Way to much time trying to get a photo.

Here's a new upswept bird and trout in 1/8" 80CRV2, about 9 3/4" OAL with dovetailed wenge/padauk scales. Pretty much just needs sharpening and final cleanup.

I am currently finishing up a batch of prosciutto knife handles - should be done by Wednesday. Also, I ordered kydex tools and supplies yesterday, so I am quite excited to finally start making proper sheaths

After the handles are done, I have some 26C3 on the way to try hamons and a new lnerlock design to build, so it should be a fun few weeks.

Nice knife. Gotta admire the lines...

What kydex supplies did you order? In the same boat of trying to figure out what all to purchase.

I ordered foam and steel (building my own molding press), an arbor press and dies for eyelet forming, a couple of drills, rivets and the kydex itself. I already have a heat gun, so I will be using that for heating the kydex. I plan on getting a small used lab oven and a cheap drill press, so I can have everything separate from the dusty workshop.

Just did the same, need to have some kind of setup for the edc blades i'm going to be turning out.

Finished off a pretty involved order. The knife was relatively straightforward. One of my Coyote models in elk with an oak carved pancake sheath:

What made this project involved was the other matching accoutrements. Matching holsters and a belt:

That much carving keeps a guy out of the bars....

Wow! That is amazing work.

Dave you always do incredible work. Wow.

i recognize the Springfield - but the other gun looks pretty old (or should i say “classic”?). What is it?

Thank you!

Thank you sir! It"s an Old Model Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt. The holster is actually made for Ruger Blackhawk but the Blackhawk and the Vaquero are the same size frame, so it works. They are basically the same gun with different sights.

Tried out a new handle material. Orange mycarta, ie the home made stuff. Not as dense and nice to finish as the real Micarta stuff. But still, ok. Tried to buff it with compund but it turned really nasty. So just took it to 1200 grit wet&dry and hit it with some caranauba wax. Micarta pins and G10 liner.

Since I am new here, I thought I would share some of my work:

Hopefully I did everything correctly and the pictures show up.
