What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

I thought I was going to go home after that post but I ended up grinding a blade. And adding scales. And satin finishg the blade. And shaping the scales. And wondering what a sledgehammer has to do with jumping.

In case the angle in the previous post wasn’t sufficient to show, it has a groove:

Cool knife!

 

[David Mary]

That’s a sledgehammer

As to the sledgehammer question:

 

[David Mary]

Whoosh

 

[David Mary]

Don’t worry that’s just the sound of me double jumping over the bridge.

Also I began mods to the Millie 2 I received in trade for shop credit. Still have a little cleanup to do on the blade before marking with regrind mark.

Your new ride to work.

 

[David Mary]

Yeah but I can do that without the pogo stick.

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.

Did that in the 1st grade, with my first broken arm as the prize...

I see

Connect the dots for me boss

Emerson's statement to only buy American cutlery. You also have to know about Kent Brockman on the Simpsons and his penchant for immediately capitulating to the current overlords, be they ants or space aliens.

I don’t think that will go on my shop work board. It will go on my sandwhich.

Humor (humour?) is hard. I'm glad I don't have to make a living at it.
