I think what makes a complete shop is whatever you have on hand to make a knife. You just have to adapt to what you have to work with. Where there's a will, there's a way.

You have them Randy

That is one fine looking knife and sheath. Great job Rafael. That sheath is a beauty by the way

I had a place on my leg that peeled off a little hide and they said that's what caused it. I had been using iodine on it, which will teach you some new dance moves when it hits the cut place, but it didn't do any good. I had six IV's a day when I was in the hospital and a bunch of VW Bug sized...

There's still some swelling in the lower leg. How long did it take you to get over this stuff? I spent some time in my shop today, but never touched a knife, I was engraving some things for a friend to put on some plaques he made.

I hate thieves and if I ever catch them in my shop they will have a really bad day. Glad you have your knives back. Stick around, it's a great forum. No drama, just good people.

Still having problems with the leg. I have to see my doctor Tuesday and we'll see what happens then. I have a feeling he'll put me back in the hospital because the swelling has only gone down so far and hasn't budged anymore. If he'll let me take my grinders, milling machine, drill press...

I'm 72, spent four years in the US Marine Corps, 16 years in the US Army, Vietnam Vet, spent another 20 years with the Dept. of Defense, and finally retired after a serious injury. If I had known how much I would like being retired I'd have done it when I was about 10 or 12. I started making...

Yeah, what Laurence said.

That's a fine piece of work

Good looking knife

Yup, she's a keeper Bruce. We'll be married 52 years in November. She just went o pick up some medications that my doctor called in, so I slipped in here to my computer to check the forum. The swelling in my leg has gone down a lot, but it's still swollen a good bit. It doesn't hurt and...

Why would you want to scrap it, finish it up and you'll have a fine looking knife. I for one would want to see how everything looks when finished.

I'm going stir crazy laying around doing nothing. I've already finished up all my coloring books and ate the crayons. The red ones taste the best by the way. I'm almost done with my second book since I've been home, another W.E.B. Griffin novel. I've been laying in bed thinking about knives...

Thanks Boss

I'd be more apt to defy the doctor than the wife. Actually the antibiotics seem to be working better than the IV. The leg is a lot cooler than it was and the swelling is about 1/3 rd of what it was. My doctor still wants me off the leg for another week. I know you'll find this hard to...

That's a beauty!

Thanks for the well wishes. Just got up for a while and heading back to bed right now

I got released from the hospital, after about four or five days. I had a very serious infection in my left leg, it was three times it's normal size and blood red from the knee down. The doctor called it cellulitis. The had me on IV's loaded with some potent antibiotics. I have to lay flat...

Tripe bad!!! No eat tripe.
