What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

it looks gruesome....haha

Thanks! bwahahahah

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

It looks good in the pictures. So much better in person. I absolutely love mine.

 

[David Mary]

Thank you my friend.

Now, who's next?

 

[David Mary]

Do you like the patina on my putty knife?

 

[David Mary]

We'll go Patriot Edition for the Marten Scout prototype

Jarod O Jarod my steel heating friend,
Never thought I that my very own name it should trend.

But knives with the same are all over the world,
A boon to me in great part by you was unfurled.

My humble work carried by your Midas touch,
A knife for you; my small way to thank you so much.

Don't show him this though. I think he's too busy to check my sub, and I want this knife's looks to be a surprise if possible. Not done anyway.

I like how easy it is to sand and get glassy smooth....

*although Idk what types of ebony I use

Geez, David, that handle turned out GREAT!

 

[beeinak]

Jarod is going to be happy with that knife. Very classy, unique, and useful! Super nice gesture.

 

[David Mary]

The rest will be done Monday at home. Good night everyone!

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Good night David

I suspect that your friend will treasure his new knife. There is no more meaningful gift that one you poured your heart and hands into.

Every time I use my fathers tools, I feel his presence watching me doing the things he taught me.

Beautiful work David, your skill level has progressed nicely, love how your not afraid to step out and try new things

 

[Crag the Brewer]

Thanks! bwahahahah

at first I thought the picture was from under a car or something?

 

[David Mary]

Thanks everyone!

Now the question: Half a night's sleep, then tackle a rainy day or try for the other half? Hmmm......

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

That's a tough call. I've had both scenarios turn out good and bad. Flip a coin and if it doesn't turn out... Well it should have

 

[David Mary]

Yeah same here. I lost a chess game and won two this morning. So that's my coin flip. Time for work!

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

I have a chess game I need to get back to but been a little under the weather. I guess I won it but haven't figured out how yet. Maybe it'll come to me....

 

[David Mary]

Looks like I won't get too wet when I leave for the shop later. It's coming down pretty good now, but the radar provides a decent outlook.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Hopefully it holds. Stay safe. I got to much to get done in the am so I'm going to try and get a few hours. Good luck.
