What's going on in your shop?

[TimGinMN]

Hmmmmm. I went to grab a new set of mask filters today, and they are usually yellow in color. When these popped outta the bag, I noticed something (see pic).... maybe if we flood everything with Radionuclides, and we all wore these filters, we could wipe out this virus stuff??? I'm blaming my crazy thoughts on the meds.

Hopefully that's not the ingredients list...

Finish ground this blade and forged out a nice big drop point chopper.

 

[Daniel Macina]

Slowly but surely. I have so much respect for you guys that actually know how to forge. It has taken me forever just to get to this point on them.

 

[Casey Brown]

We'll see how this looks. Like I said before, it's my first chef knife. It's coming along better than I expected though. I got a good ht on it, so hopefully the pattern comes out well.

Finished up my first 2 kwaiken over the weekend. I have a lot of respect for those that do these handle wraps- simple concept, not easy to execute. I had to modify the initial wrap design to make it work. It was fun working with new materials though. Stingray hide is pretty neat. The paracord got a coat of epoxy after I took the pictures.

 

[Jon Buescher]

Didn’t have an axe drift and too broke and didn’t have the time to order one and wait for it to get here, so I grabbed a hammer bit from the rental place and forged one, this thing was shaped like a 2”x 2” X2” cube meat tenderizer at the end lots and lots of forging

 

[Jon Buescher]

Started drifting the axe eye that I punched earlier. Man I need a striker or a press or something!

 

[Randy Lucius]

Working on a new EDC in CPM-154. I'm liking the color combo on this one. Mesquite bolster with micarta. Natural micatra pins and liners. Tru-oil finish. Should be done with it tomorrow.

Thanks. Claudia wants me to try some. So, ok, I will!

 

[Jon Buescher]

Didn’t get much done. Cramped from my hand all the way to my shoulder and couldn’t even pick up a hammer but i can now get the handle about an inch into the future axe head

 

[J. Doyle]

Just got done fitting these curly maple inlays into this Blackwood bowie handle.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

John, do you use a router and template for the inlays? BTW, those really look nice (and tight!)

 

[Daniel Macina]

Getting geared up for some dovetailed bolsters.
