Beautiful piece of work. Congratulation on the marriage

That is one good looking knife, actually both of them are. Thanks for posting them.

Will do Fred, I'm not going to push things, even if I want to hit the shop in the morning, but I won't.

After reading SHOKR's post about making knives, "useful for dagger makers/users", I remembered I had a small book called "The Fighting Knife" written by W. D. Randall and Col Rex Applegate. I even remembered where I had stashed it. I've always subscribed to the theory that shooting the enemy...

I have one of those saws I bought 26 or 27 years ago and it's still running fine. I figured for the price I might get a couple of years out of it, but it's still cutting good. I only use bi-metal blades on it. I need to try making a seat like that. Thanks for posting the pictures.

I just got out of the hospital, again. I was very short of breath and my doctor took one look at me and told me to go straight to the hospital, the paperwork would be waiting on me when I got there. The problem stemmed from the fluids I was retaining. They gave me 240 mg of Lasix in one day...

I haven't seen the anvil yet and don't know what shape it's in. I know it's kind of old because his ex uncle had it for about 45 years and his father had it before him

More goodies. My grandson e-mailed me and siad a friend who's father owns a boat yard gave him some really big old links of anchor chain. He said they each weigh a bunch and he's bringing them home in November. Does anybody have any idea what these things are made of? He said they've been...

He's an old US Coast Guard friend of my son's. They're both retired USCG Chiefs. My son had almost 25 years in when he retired. He'll be moving back home at the end of the year, along with our grandson. Time to change the locks on my shop and the combination on my gun safe.

A friend came by my shop today and handed me two Parker blades he's had laying around for a long time They've been ground and heat treated and have the Parker logo on them. One is some kind of skinner and the other is a small bowie type. Neither have had anything done besides what I...

My son in NC called a couple of nights ago and told me a friend had given him a big anvil and a mig welder. He's coming home for Thanksgiving and will bring them both then. He said it took three of them to get the anvil into his truck. He's supposed to send me all the info on the welder soon...

I'd like 541 please. Thanks for the give away

I probably have enough lighting for two shops. I stumbled on a sale I couldn't pass up. I have lights everywhere and lights on each machine, some of them two lights.

I had four bypasses and spent six days in cardiac ICU at UAB in Birmingham, AL. Then I spent another four days in a regular room there. Then off to six weeks of rehab at Health South in Gadsden AL, followed by six weeks of home health care and topped it all off with a stroke. There are no...

That has to be it. Thanks a lot George, I appreciate it.

I should add, I don't even know what the handles were made out of.

A friend called me the other night asking if I knew where he could buy a white spiral turned handle. I saw some at the Blade Show last year, but don't remember who had them for sale and naturally I can't find them on the internet. I have a couple of black buffalo horn ones somebody gave me...

I've got one from Brownells, the long one and really like it. Plenty of pockets too.

Nice!!

You have one little beautiful helper there Brad. My grandson and granddaughter used to help me like that when they were little, now they are grown and live in different states.
