Hey John! Great question. I'm not exactly sure, and it would probably take me a while to actually figure it out. Why do you ask?

Not enough, is the Correct answer!

 

[David Mary]

I'm thinking there is a mathematical equation where if I plug in enough coefficient of coffee I get sufficient production of knives, I just haven't found the sweet spot yet.

Just curious, trying to gain insight into the life of a full-time maker.

Kn/Y=9Co(365Pi/$)

I said I was sure there is an equation, not that I would understand it. But I think what you're saying is "drink more coffee"? I can do that.

Yeah I don't math much anymore beyond cocktail proportions. But i DO guzzle coffee in an attempt to feel smart!!

 

[David Mary]

Me too!

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I still don’t get it.

 

[David Mary]

Six hours of hand sanding and six knives done.



More tiring than anticipated. Eager to get home and eat. The last four knives should be quick since they're small. I'll do them tomorrow and the sheaths and makers marks tomorrow.

Now I feel really out of the loop because I don't get this?

 

[bigsurbob]

Do you wear a mask when hand sanding?

What about wood?

Just curious.

Just a silly ad campaign. I'd say Google it but i wouldn't want you to waste any valuable knife-making or refueling time with shenanigans of that nature!!

I didn't today. I use water so then dust doesn't go airborne.

 

[David Mary]

Nothing stays in my lungs long anyway. I breathe deep often plus cycling and training.

 

[David Mary]

Hungry but these ones are too close to done.
