What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

David, hope everything is alright.

Those Bittyrangs and Midirangs are looking great so far.

 

[David Mary]

Thank you Oldmanwilly all is well. These are Zoomerangs and Midirangs. Ie second smallest and second largest out of the four models, with Bittyrangs and Boomerangs not pictured. Zoomerang Spear points like these are exclusive to Empire Outfitters.

 

[David Mary]

First four from Empire run nearing completion. I’m currently n the process of hand sanding the scales and tooth picking the file work.

 

[David Mary]

Super time consuming

 

[fullswing]

These are looking beautiful. The attention to detail on the spine work is epic man!

 

[David Mary]

Thank you so much fullswing ! I’m trying!

Leaving off here for tonight and hoping to finish them with makers marks, sheaths, and sharpening tomorrow and get started on another three or four handles.

Is the lapel thumb-dagger going to be offered as well? I have 2 from a long gone spook-they bring back memories.
The grain in the last knife handle is awesome. Great looking blades.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

These are looking good, David!

You want my toothpick!

Well, sure why not. I'd want to clean it up and finish it better first. Don't let the rust spots fool you, it's actually MagnaCut. From the same Chopper blank that the Bitty Bitey Baby Birdie came from. It's only rusting because I left a 36 grit surface on it, but once cleaned up it should be good to go. I've been toying with the idea of eventually doing that and making a sheath and paracord fob for it anyway, maybe even some tiny Micarta scales.

The grain in the last knife handle is awesome. Great looking blades.

Thank you very much! The last knife has African Wenge scales.

 

[Danny Linguini]

Love those wood grain handles!

Thank you!

Love those wood grain handles!

Me too!

All the rest are getting Suretouch, though, per the customer's instructions.

Those little toothpicks really are a great tool. I used to keep a mora eldris on my bench for the same stuff. The point on the toothpick would have been a game changer on my kydex bench.

Forgot to add those are coming out awesome.

 

[David Mary]

Thank you!

I’m getting pretty excited. When we receive them I’ll snap up pics, catalog them and have Craig get them up on the site ASAP. I have a couple names of members here that want one.

Anyone else interested to grab one or be notified when they’re available, let me know.

Slight sidestep today. Yesterday I was throwing my prevail into a stump and well I had ground it way too thin for that. So five minutes of shop time went right into fixing that today.








Next I decided to burn off some excess cardboard that piled up in my shop which led to the decision to repulse the rest of last winter’s wood and move a shelf and change my materials organization structure.

Still working on the shop reorganize but it should make me a bit more efficient going forward.

 

[David Mary]

The gg white bottle has been sitting there since yesterday. I admit it.

 

[DocJD]

I was throwing

Used to break a lot of non- throwing knife tips that way ...until I learned to multi-layer cardboard over my wood targets .

Easier to stick the throw , reduces bounce back and ricochets, and avoids damages .
