This is what the first sign looks like now. Also did a couple more. Trying some new things I've never done before.

Demo, John Doyle is a good man and knife maker but you are incorrect calling what you made a full tang. What you have is a "through tang". Full tang is when you use scales to handle a blade.

Calvin, Welcome back! To repent of sin is as great a work of grace as not to sin. I don't quite understand what that is saying. You know I have a whole book of ideas called the Bible to work from. In fact I was just out buying supplies for the signs but I knew all the time I had things here...

For at least 2 years I have had the interest in making small signs with spiritual messages on them. Usually just one liners since the letters the way I was doing them were to large plus I was burning the letters like you would a brand. I got this idea Friday to try something the way I started...

Nicest thing I found to do when I screwed up a large blade was cut it in half and forge two smaller ones. Works every time.

Tai, Your prayer has been answered. You really need to work on your spiritual vision. You really are blind to what is going on here. These people are trying to help you see. There's mention several times about opening the eyes of our heart in God's Word. The eyes of your heart will give you...

Don't forget to get it validated.

I thought you did fine with what you said. Wayne Goddard and I were good friends for a number of years and at least once a year he would give me the junk steel he was wanting to get ride of. He'd always tell me he had a pile for me to take home after the OKCA Show. I got a great deal of old...

John, Actually the case hardened junk steel was good steel for a rasp but made a lousy knife blade. I've been fooled a number of times with files and rasp because they were case hardened. If nothing else when using junk steel just heat the steel up to cherry and quench it in water. Hit it with a...

Tai, Its not what you believe. The Word is The God's Word. When you don't believe God you make God out to be a Liar and he is very very far from being a Liar. John the Baptist was told by his men that Jesus was getting more attention than John. John's answer to his men was, I must decrease so...

Tai, The veil of friendship has really blinded me. I've prayed for your well being a number of times over the years we have know each other and it was all for not. In order for prayers to work in most cases the receiver of the prayer needs to have faith that they will work. Not the case with...

Who is the Gate Keeper?

Do I know You?

Got to learn how to aim that hack saw. Hawk saws are one of the main reasons for the purchase of power saws. Save your money, Harbor Freight sells there portable band saw on sale for around $70.00 but it maybe more now. Its not the best but if its used sparingly it will last longer. If you...

Looking good young fellow!

About to go fishing at the knife show. Hope to see some dogs there and a few flounders.

I'll be doing the show this weekend. Here's a link to the show: http://www.nwkc.org/

Mark, This one has got the sheath that I originally made for it. Just a plane Jane. For right now I seem to have lost interest in the leather work. Heading to VA tomorrow with hopes of getting another cortisone shot in the hand and wrist. When I look into my crystal ball I see getting part of...

I never did except in my mind. I've replaced it with "Amazing Grace".

Jeremiah, When I originally made this blade I was trying to slip in a little "tanto" look. Good eye!
