What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

My holiday weekend was mostly relaxing. But I puttered around the shop a bit too and was there late tonight. No pics to share of the work at this time but here’s the jump home:

So actually I did that when I was 13 or 14 but I didn’t understand centre of gravity and, well, I landed on my head. No helmet. Ever since then I have religiously worn a helmet when cycling. That is decades of commuting in multiple cities and sometimes up to 15 miles a day. Not once had an accident where the helmet would have helped since that time as a kid. But I still wear it and still will.
 
I’ve been doing a lot more on the computer lately, and also prepping the shop for winter and rotating out some old fixtures. But three HBs, two Baraxes, a SFB XL and a little paring knife are almost ready, as I’ve been puttering away at those as well. Boltaron is molded and I just need to drill and shape those then mark the blades, which are all sharpened and finished.

SFB XL and paring knife are not spoken for yet, and as much as I want to keep the one Barax that I was making for myself I probably should put that on the exchange as well. Been a while since anything has actually made it there. I’ll have to make a large anti scam warning like I’ve seen some guys do. First line in the post.
