Nice! How are you gonna handle dust collection in a basement shop?

The same way I handle it at home in my main shop. I don’t worry about it.

Chocolate escargot. Interesting flavor combination...

Chocolate escargot. Interesting..

I suppose that's one word for it.
(thinking to self, why do people think that chocolate goes with anything? I guess I should be thankful I don't like chocolate.)

 

[Storm W]

The start of a small workshop in France
Electrical and lighting put in. Larger workbench and grinder ordered and to be delivered late October

First thing to work on the get my hands dirty again. I started removing the deep grinder scratches on an already forged and heat treated blade

A knife I made a while ago and my first in Paris.

An intro sharpening lesson to a young chef

Some steak frites. Excellent black angus from the USA

Chocolate pistachio escargot roll pastry

And a hello from Paris

I'm jealous. I might PM you sometime to ask some questions about whats involved. My wife and I have talked about doing something like that. We had a opportunity to move to Italy a few years ago that I am kicking myself for not taking.

It’s just a bakery pastry of chocolate and pistachio with the shape of an escargot

The same way I handle it now, I am starting to get nerved about everything having a thick coat of dust.

Sure. Happy to assist
Nothing really involved, I just make it happen.

Oh ... ok

Not a knife this time, if you work with corby bolts, do yourself a favor and make one of these. Its a pressure fit sleeve with a slight oversize hole of the corby head. Makes screwing multiple corby bolts a breeze. I just need to do the final adjustment when the screwdriver is out of torque.
I don't even need to pre engage the slot, it engages itself. Great timesaver!

looks like you’re doing great Harbeer!
Did you run into any issues getting there? Last I remember you were planning the trip over and trying to decide how you were going to make it all work.

Finished this Lanny’s Clip after a complete handle re-do when a pair of vintage Westinghouse micarta actually SPLIT putting it together for the last time. First time I've had micarta split but perhaps it was brittle from age. After a full day of self loathing and pity I tore them off, soaked everything off with acetone and re-made new handles for it. Overall super thrilled with it. 154CM, relieved, milled integral liners, deep maroon micarta.

No issues as I flew to London and then took the Eurostar to Paris

I’ve got a pile of castration knives I’m working on. These are getting tang holes drilled then are ready for heat treat. I never dreamed these would be so popular.
