I just thought you might like to see some pics of where I work,sharpening knives. These aren't the best, but they are all I have at the moment. The last one is funny; these guys are nuts!

How come you're not in any of the pics? I'm beginning to forget what you look like!!! :D
 
Those guys ARE nuts, playing with sharp objects and clowning around! :D

I see that zebra toy Alice was looking for in your avatar photo.
 
I'm not in any because I took the pictures and I felt silly asking one of those guys to take a picture of me!

Yep, there's her zebra toy. Around the corner is a big bucket full of the rest of her toys.

And yeah, they can get pretty nuts! They are all married or widowed, but they still like to act gay sometimes (jokingly, of course... I think.)

There are some things that buy back dignity, for everything else, there's the option of moving :D ;)

Me and Tom with the "scenery" where I used to work. One of the girls sat in front of me, one behind me. I didn't know which way to turn!

I don't know about the acting part. They seem to be enjoying it a little too much. :D
 
Here I am working at a fire.

It's not a waste; it gets used every day. Not clunky either, just old. The wheels get replaced as needed. Also, it's one of three, and it would costs thousands more than your tri-hone! :p

The shop is larger than you can see in the pictures, and there are a lot of "workbenches". The boxes of knives are just a fraction of the ones from our cutlery-rental program, which is our main business. The private knives are taken in through the kitchen store and sharpened on a flat stone and polished on a buffing machine. We also sharpen scissors, garden tools, mower blades, ice skates, auger blades, saw blades, etc.

K.V. Cool picture! You're a true hero! :)

My brother is a professional chef and he keeps his personal knives in a roll that nobody (but me :) ) gets to touch or sharpen. For general restaurant or institutional cooking he is a huge advocate of what he calls a "knife service" that comes around and replaces all the knives with sharpened ones on a regular basis. He doesn't even entertain the thought of not using a "knife service". Are you a "knife service"?

Ken ya can stop pokin' the building, I don't think it's gonna move anymore. ;)

I beg to differ. It moved plenty! The stairwell from the first to second floor collapsed about 5 minutes after this pic was snapped. Luckily our guys had already made it to the second floor. We had a ladder in place to the second floor porch as a secondary means of egress as well as the one seen in the pic. We came close to losing 4 guys had they not made a rapid ascent up the stairs.

We didn't really need the arrow to know which one is you, since you're the only one working. What are those other three lazy bums standing around for? Why don't you put them to work? :confused:

Seems to me you ought to be prodding them with that stick. Wait'll you pass the exam and get promoted, then they'd better hustle. :mad:
