    I must look pretty bad these days

    At the store this morning, the lady behind the counter said, "Sir, you look like you are ready to check out". I said, "yes, I guess so". She said, "OK, but please pay for the coke and candy bar before you go". Dang, I guess I must look pretty bad these days.

    Following Her Directions

    Last week, I headed out the door to do a little last minute shopping. The wife said, "Stop by the grocery store and get a gallon of milk". "If they have fresh lemons, get five". When I returned, she said, "Why did you get five gallons of milk?" I simply said, "They had fresh lemons"...

    Damascus and Burl

    Thanks for the kind comments guys. Just goes to prove that (with proper medication and supervision from the men in white) an old geezer can still make something that someone likes. Signed: Earl, or is that Bill, or somebody (Heck, I forget)

    Damascus and Burl

    Big-Un, the billet had a pattern name and looked pretty good. Of course, when I started grinding, the pattern sort of got lost, and this is the end result. Robert

    Could it be the "Foil" ?

    A quick follow-up. I had an individual recommend that I check out a certain company for H/T foil. I did, and found a 50 foot X 20 inch wide roll of 309 (.020 thick - Max Temp. 2100 degrees) on sale. Regular price $229. on sale for $119. In addition, while I was looking, I decided to check my...

    Could it be the "Foil" ?

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has had sticking problems, and even the "worm tracks". Perhaps the "Frozen" plates are a bit of overkill on my part. I will give quenching a try without freezing and see if that helps. Rob, I tend to agree on the "Pausing to equalize". I can't...

    Good looking piece. If that antler just had a little color, it would be over the top. Robert

    In the pile

    Looking good Big Boy. I'm in kind of a "slump" myself. Working on an order for six for one customer. Taking forever. Just can't get motivated. I need something to re-kindle the fire. Maybe when the weather cools down, I will get going full-bore again. Robert

    I ordered this for a buddy of mine, Ed Fowler Pronghorn

    Hope that is not the one that was stolen off of Ed's table a couple of years ago at Blade. Good looking knife. Robert

    Thanks Josh, If I can just click something one time and make it go away, then all is good. I clicked that double arrow thingy, but every time I would click the "back" button to, say back out of the "Collector" section and go to another section, the darn thing would be there again. I'll fool...

    Is Mount Olive near Sylacauga? I'm in Oxford. If you are within reasonable driving distance, I would love to have you come by for a visit. We can be confused together. Robert
