What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

And after grinding the ulu I used up a warped piece of heat treated hand saw I've been hoarding for three years. Now it's a super thin EDChef wharncliffe that causes instant cardboard mitosis. So light it could be a neck knife.

Wow, cardboard probably disintegrates as soon as it sees that thing! That’s a slicer!

There was a loose contact inside the housing of my Kydex griddle's dial housing. I went to disassemble it to see if I could fix it only to find the manufacturer trying to keep me out by using a triangle screw.




So I says to them, I says: "you know I'm just going to make a triangle screwdriver from steel pin material and duct tape right?"

The griddle shiv!

 

[David Mary]

Function restored by the way.



Just in time to make a sheath for the new knife before heading to the store to hopefully find the sushi I like.

They didn't have dragon rolls so captain high liner it is.

Oh and this:

So thats what they’re for! I recently got this sweet little driver and bit kit for my knives and had a couple triangle bits that I’ve been wondering what I’d ever use them for. Now I know lol. Good job on the ingenuity.


Pics deleted to try and make enough room for new ones

So many specialty screw heads now. I ordered a set just because I was trying to get screws out of a mosquito trap that looked like a typical phillips, but the cross peices are off center. At least David can make his own tools.

 

[David Mary]

Five hours of organizing handle material again, in preparation to make a bunch of composite scales. I'll show those when I have a bunch squared off and tidied up. And they will be open to anyone to claim, who has an order on the books, assuming they will fit your knife.

Here's everything before I put it away again. You can't really see all of it clearly, but you get the idea.

I really like that brownish/natural color.

 

[David Mary]

Yes i like it too. Burlap Micarta behind red. And with that I've decided I'm allowed to go home now. I'll be posting this one in the exchange upon arrival.

 

[David Mary]

Before organizing, I also explored some of my shop's... unexpected capabilities.

I might take this further at a later date.

Needs more cowbell

That burlap micarta is my favorite handle material. I like the red in front. I may have missed the whole experience by actually getting sleep last night but I'm glad it found a good home.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

I've actually been thinking my new polecat scout needs the burlap with red liners like my riverhawk. That way when I get ready to go out just by changing my knife the wife doesn't think I'm crazy. .

 

[David Mary]

So you're recruiting me to help trick your wife. Nice.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Not so much trick as fly under the radar. Though really I'll probably just end up carrying both.

 

[Wild Willie]

They all think we're crazy anyway...
