What numerical number does "F" represent? 9/32?

Cleaned up all the choils and made sure they terminate in radii so they don’t snag on cardboard.



Sanded those handles



Still need to sand those ones.



Tomorrow that, and start sheaths.

So guys, the purple looking wood you see on some of those Ranch Dogs is called katalox, and this is my first time using it. I found it quite nice to work with, and according to its description it sounds like a solid contender to tie for first place in my list of favorite natural woods next to bocote. I haven't finished and used a knife with it yet, but according to my research it changes color from purple to almost black over time as it oxides.

And apparently F is hexadecimal for 15.

Yep, he was a pioneer in his time. Kind of like Henry Ford insisting on ABS brakes.

On bicycles, maybe, assuming that the Wright brothers still had their shop.

I'm thinking about building a wood shed next to the shop, and so this video title caught my attention. I learned so much about this interesting topic that I didn't know. And laughed out loud at the end! (Also, watched it on double speed.)

Admittedly it’s taking me longer than I’d hoped. But the end is in sight.

Just remember: everything takes longer and costs more. Universal law.
Nice work.

We jokingly call our girl dog beardog....she love tearing up boxes from the recycling bin. Thick, double corrugated stuff. She chomps through like nothing. Bite after bite.
She stands on them with her front two paws, bends down and Rips. No effort, seems weird.

She is all muscle and sinue. She has a massive hump from her neck and shoulders. Must be neck muscles. Reminds me of a grizzly tearing into a carcass. Crazy strong and beefy.
