Rare photo of me working.

[Calvin Robinson]

Not that I rarely work,it's just that I rarely work when anyone is in my shop. But my grand daughter,one of the few allowed in my shop while I'm working,snapped this photo of me hand finishing a blade yesterday.
This customer wants one of my Big Trappers with orange scales and I'm happy to oblige.

You aren''t working...looks like you are having too much fun to call it work.

Granddaughters, you just have to love'em! Nice photo.

You need to let her loose with a camera more often. I like seeing these kind of pictures.

Now don't go crazy and actually make us all look bad.

Regards,

Laurence,
If she would come do the photography and video I could post all the tutorials I've been wanting to do.

[Calvin Robinson]

Thank you Stabber. I use that vice often. For holding a blade for sanding,etching my mark,drilling through a tang or liner into uneven handle material. It's one if the first tools I made myself when I started making knives.

Don and Frank,yes,I'm an old man but not "just" an old man,thank God.

Yeah, and I'm an old man too old to make knives any more. :sad::24::s12137::s12138::s8936:
