Been busy with a customer's order. 13 more of these and then 7 of my choice types. No sleep....
What's going on in your shop?

So I built an LED light for my G0704 Milling machine. I was going to buy one, they were between 50 and 80 dollars. I spent 6 bucks shipped for the 80MM Halo lights and about $4 for the phone cord! The rest of the stuff is all repurposed junk I had lying around the house! Not as bright as I wish but way better than what I had!! Not to mention I would have been ticked if I ordered one of these and it was only as bright as the one I built! And I think I have enough for another one?

Two coming off the bench today. the first one is a hunter in 1084 with giraffe bone handle. White liners and nickel silver pins.
The second one is a neck knife. Overall length is 4.75 inches. Alabama Damascus. Black G10 and Juma. Red liners and spacers. Black pins.
Nice little crossdraw sheath for it.

You're a better man than me Chris. If I had to make twenty of the same knife I'd probably use one of them to slit my wrists. Made six matching steak knives once and seemed like it took forever.

Yeah, I can't say I'll be doing this again. Keeping everything matching, finding scales that are the same for this many is trying. And not to mention the repetition.

Finishing up on this one. I don’t think I’m going to re-etch the spine. What do you guys think?

If I might ask, could you show how you're finishing the butt end of the horn?

No they're a lot more refined before heat treat.
