What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Here we go

 

[David Mary]

See? Imagine this rotating around in your hands with 100 lb...

What’s a KG? J/K

That does look like a nasty seam, great job to the manufacturer lol.

 

[Danny Linguini]

It’s a Canadian thing, eh.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Those look great. When does your daughter get to order her own with her blade shape/steel/handle color and material choices? Lol- hopefully she doesn’t get on here and realize all the choices or you will never have a day off

She has latched onto the Rainy Day USA in magnacut AKA the carrot slayer.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

I have looked back at things much later and gone "yeah that would have been an easy fix". Glad it's happening now though.

 

[David Mary]

It was such a pain that I gave up and made a long phone call instead. I'll use tape for now and try again after I get more flap discs for my angle grinder.

 

[David Mary]

Now I'm getting ready to make a knife for Jarod as a thank you for all he's done for me.

He likes drop points and yellow and orange. He's never tried suretouch but he likes rubber knife handles. So all this makes sense:

 

[David Mary]

We won't be seeing any Wolverine Scouts on the first run. The one I had cut is being reground into a Weasel Scout, aka Speed Weasel on the request of a new customer.

 

[David Mary]

I will, however, be making a Marten Scout. I think this one's going to get a sharpened clip, or at least a swedge.

 

[David Mary]

It just occurred to me that most times I have typed lol on the forum I have been Lying On Line

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Hopefully we won't have to chase the truth out of you

 

[David Mary]

You know "laugh out loud" when you don't actually laugh out loud is literally lying online....

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

I wasn't sure if it was totally an honesty thing or if you were just lying down on the job. In which case you might have a chaise lounge in the shop

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

I really don't think that most people actually believe you're laughing out loud per say It is just easier than typing laughing in utter silence or laughing in my head.

 

[David Mary]

Jarod said he likes rubber but about the only thing that bonds it is CA glue, and even that starts to come undone with within a couple years. I told him the great thin about suretouch is that the material though layered with rubber comes with a G10 layer on both outside faces, allowing the type of permanent bond you can get from roughed up surfaces and just about whatever adhesive you want.

See the orange piece of suretouch I roughed up with 36 grit.

 

[Wild Willie]

Maybe I'm a rarity, but I only give an lol if I actually do laugh... I'll admit it's usually more of a chuckle or chortle, but I think it qualifies.

 

[David Mary]

lying down on the job.

That too.

LOL!!!

 

[David Mary]

But yeah lol now just stands in for me as "I think that's funny and it should be acknowledged as such." There. The truth comes out.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Maybe I'm a rarity, but I only give an lol if I actually do laugh... I'll admit it's usually more of a chuckle or chortle, but I think it qualifies.

I also sometimes laugh out loud or sometimes in my head. Maybe I should start better describing the type of laugh that occurs
