a shop like that deserves a better celebratory beer, the champagne of beers is not high on MY list of tasty beverages LOL
What's going on in your shop?

I prefer Bale Breaker Bottom Cutter, or Coors Original
We got a new tool!
A shop Sabre CNC Plasmas with Hypertherm 85 torch.
We are starting out with signs. Here is the first one off the table. More designs coming.
I have been stuck in the computer for the last few days working on some drawings for the new CNC plasma.
Grinder kits (tab and slot weldable) coming at some point in the next several weeks.

Nice Tracy! What's the thickest material that you can burn?
I am told 1” but it should easily cut 3/4”

Loctite makes a spray on ceramic based anti spatter coating for copper consumables. It is stupid expensive in the ballpark of $40 for an aerosol can, but it adds a miraculous amount of life to nozzles and drag shields on the automated stuff. Enough to double or triple life of the $25 plus parts on a torch.
Worked on these 2 today. AEB-L blanks, 60 rockwell. I had these heat treated several years ago. O e was ground and one wasn't. Cleaned up the grinds on the one I did before, going to work on the handle profile tomorrow hopefully. Made a bevel grinding jig, too and it worked super well after I got the hang of it!

I hate when I’m trying to design a knife and have a makers work stuck in my head and the knife I’m designing just ends up coming out like the other makers work.

My buddy makes steel cut-outs/signs with a plasma and making decent side money. I traded him a cleaver for a sign, those things are so cool.

Finished up the bottom blank and did a sheath for it this week! Customer was looking for a slicey knife and this sucker is thin! I made a few bevel grinding jigs as well, so I have been trying those out. I tried one with 2 brass screws on the baseplate and one using a hinge and 1 screw so it slides flat on the tool rest vs being on the edge of the piece.

I'm on lock down right now. 18 degrees and lightly snowing. The old 'milk house' heater doesn't do the trick at this time. Down to below 10 they say next Wednesday. Oh well the 5 sheaths worked for a while but are completed now. Cruising the internet and drinking coffee is about all I get completed.

If I had you make me one of those, you could just make it a permanent, unchangeable "0".

A day without a screw-up is like a day without sunshine. I'd be completely discombobulated.

You guys talking about screw ups jinxed me. Been a hot minute since I did this.
