Had my work rig go down for some repairs this week so I had some extra time in the shop. Got another three knives handled, and started forging the next batches blanks. I also did a substantial amount of sitting in my shop chair, listening to records, and smoking cigars. I kinda needed to crank...

X2... pine stained is nasty. It will highlight more flaws than pretty grains. Poly will darken it to the coloring of the original jinga blocks. Semi gloss or satin because gloss will be to shiney. It is after all a thing you hate, not a boat deck. Aggie, 130am?....You need to watch him Hot...

Thanks! and Ha! no. I cant afford new rasp for knives... With my Farrier business I go through a rasp every 20 horses or so, depending on how wet/dry its been. So I would say its safe to bet that at least 3 a week are being donated to the knife pile...There's currently about 40 in the shops...

I like it! I was a little bummed that they didnt show him forging those leaves...They are nice! I didnt advertise the roses with valentines coming...the fact that lots of guys make them brings the value down and the price you have to list at to be competitive isnt even close to worth the...

There's a press and break right across the street from your house... just get the schedule and change your position in between trains. :thumbup: JP

Friday my buddy and I got nice and greasy pulling apart the 258 I-6... I listed the engine locally on CL and for the last two weeks guys have been calling or emailing me wanting to buy the Cherokee it came out of...:headscrat I listed a pic in the add so they could see it wasnt some **** jeep...

Quick little photo update tonight... I had to pull a couple knives from the big order to get a return client some last minute valentines day gifts for her boyfriend. Lucky dude...he got the huge butcher block and matching laminate knife for christmas and now he's going to be adding these two...
