Guys I post this, in some ways a heavy heart and in some ways a wave of relief came over me with this. My wife has decided to quit fighting the cancer! She has signed up with Hospice and for the time she has left. She will not hurt! They take no measures to fight the cancer but commit to keeping...

She's a beauty, love that curly maple handle! It has some serious even curl. A lot of times you will see a handle that looks good on one side and not so good on the other!! A very good use of materials. Really like everything about it!

Good to see you up and kicking. Was thinking about that I hadn't seen a post from you recently!! "Unicorn tears" now that is funny!! I have used Marvel Mystery Oil https://www.marvelmysteryoil.com/ and had good results. My father used to believe in the stuff and the distinct smell makes me...

I am the guy who is going to suggest if you don't have it fastened to the cart, "DO IT" I will tell you if you are rolling it one day the cart is going to hang on something. Don't ask how I know! OK I will tell you. In my case I had just finished using the forge outside and let it cool down...
