Your COVID19 responses (projects you’re doing), let’s see ‘em, and mine (86 splitback whittler mod)

All done, lanyard tied, and banded up. Guess what I'm doing today? ;)

I've got a few, but lately I've been going through my CD's.
If I'm going to pay for music it's gonna be a CD, otherwise I will listen to it on YouTube and that's when the Bluetooth speakers come into play.

You can get more spendy ones of you want perfect sound , good volume,and long battery life, but there are some pretty inexpensive ones that would be just fine out in your shop.
I've got one I quite like that was only about $30, and another that was only $10 which works we enough but only gets about 1 hour per charge.
 
The lower Makers Mark is obviously mine.
The upper is my Father-in-Law's, I include it on every saddle I make as a tribute to him.
He got me started in Leather Craft and was a big supporter of me starting my saddle shop.
That was many years ago and it's nice to get started again. First project is to finish refurbishing my old roping saddle.

Very cool
 
We my knife project is cancelled.
Seller messaged me today the knife has been misplaced and I'd be refunded.
I really wanted the knife, so it's kind of a bummer.
But they said they'd contact me if they found it.
 
My project just came in. A boker congress that has one tip broken off by about. 75mm. The other blades need cleaning and sharpening. Not nearly ambitious as many others but a start for me. The scales look like cobolo jigged bone dyed reddish brown. Made in Germany.

My industry is deemed essential but all incoming calls stopped one the feds declared. No new business means living off savings and wife's salary. 15857082006643097499238607876410.jpg 15857082580284947571313806852867.jpg
 
I manage a cattle ranch, so I’m still working, but I’m only doing what needs to be done with the cattle to minimize the amount that I’m out and about. My wife is working from home, so I’m bringing the kids with me when I’m working and entertaining them when I’m home. Anyway, this situation is giving me more time to spend on projects.

Here’s a few things we’ve worked on over the last couple weeks. My 7 year old son wanted to make a ring out of some micarta we had. We don’t exactly have the right tools for ring making but he got after it with the Dremel.

And the finished product:

I made a ring for myself out of some knife scale scraps at the same time. I also finished up a blade delete/rehandle on a Klein tl-29.

I’ve got some more rehandles and some bottle openers I want to work on and whatever the kids want to do next.
