What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

I was delayed in getting the current batch finished but I’m in the home stretch now. Here’s one almost done.



And what in the world is this little guy?

what in the world is this little guy?

Bright red , in nature, generally means either ripe and ready to eat ...or deadly poisonous .

 

[David Mary]

So you’re saying flip a coin and hope for the best!

 

[David Mary]

‘Cause he does look delicious…

From what I read, it is a poultry mite.

Could also be a red velvet mite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombidiidae

Same five year old bottle and I've even learned how to be more efficient with it recently…

I wonder if it works in the Southern Hemisphere?

 

[David Mary]

Of course not, can’t you read?

That one’s ready to come home. Got some 400 sandpaper there to deal with the rear pin.

It is fortunate my knife making has slightly surpassed my illustrating.

I was a little worried these two little ones would be hard to unsheath due to the decision to use two mosaic pins and forego a “lanyard” tube, but they are both super easy to unsheath but quite secure when sheathed. Win.

Showing everything would have slowed me down too much. But it’s home time. I can show them after I clean and oil them. Maybe later. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe I forget before shipping. Anyone have a three side die?

 

[David Mary]

Can at least do this before I forget.

 

[David Mary]

This is my pipe cleaner. It’s been my attempted “cleaning glue out of the lanyard tube” tool for a while now. It’s not super effective.



Finally found brass brushes the right size and they were waiting for me when I got home. Should help me get inside my lanyard tubes cleaner than ever.

 

[David Mary]

Speaking of which, I was short on those too…. now, not so much.
