Made a little stand/holder-thingie for the tig torch.

Made it metallic blue, to match the welding cart, and definitely not, because I had a ton of the paint left over, with nothing to use it on
You can put the magnetic base anywhere (that's magnetic) and pull through as much cable as you think you need, so it also acts as a strain relief, so the weight of the package is mitigated while you weld.
Can't remeber where I saw this style of stand, but I wanted to make one ever since. No more wrapping the wire around my shoulders to get the weight off of the torch

And are you pedaling whilst you work or whistling.............

That's not a bad idea. Pedal power turns the grinder, saves on electricity bills and you get a workout in the process.

I've seen video of people all over the world with pedal powered grinding stones, but I personally prefer the little box with tiny horses in it that make my grinder go

I'd be doing good to power the light, much less the grinder.

I have a love/hate relationship with the clsp—mostly hate.

I really like the top knife in the set of four. The asymmetrical pins don't bother me with that stunning tail.

This is a commission that shipped out today, based on a classic old timey design that I've admired for a long time. It's 8670 with brass leather and G10.

Not a bad day's work. Prepping another batch of S90V, holes drilled, tangs tapered.

I'm ready to do the final polish and sharpening on the CD#1 blade pictured below. It's a puukko inspired design.. I think it looks like a glorified steak knife, but my craftsmanship is improving. The last picture is of a sheath I made yesterday for a 3V blade I finished a few months ago. The sheath is an improvement over my previous attempts, but I lost the bottom two decorative stamps when I folded the leather over to do the stitching. Any advice on how to prevent that from happening would be very much appreciated. .
