Thanks for the detent view Bruce. The devil's in the details, and that's what makes these WIPs so valuable to me. I'm learning so much it's hard to hold it all in, but I'm having a ball. :)

I'll look forward to that Bruce! Thanks for the info.

Bruce do you have some kind of detent to hold the ramrod in place? How does that work? Just curious. ;)

Bruce, thanks so much for taking the time to do these WIPs. I know it must really interrupt your work to stop to take pics, and your evenings to make these posts. They're wonderful though, and one of the greatest things knifemakers get to see.

I'm interested in hearing about the carbides too. I have a Brent Finnegan guide that's getting a little worn, that would be a fantastic way to restore it. Bruce, forgive me if I missed it, but how is the barrel mounted to the frame? I'm not seeing that somehow, and it's pretty important to me...

Ray, I will: Bruce, your knives are freakin GREAT! but I really dig the shop doors too. I need to keep a closer eye on this thread don't I? :)

Bruce I keep a close eye on my heros here, and a Bump WIP is an event to make my life special. I'll be watching all of your work with intense enthusiasm, believe me. I love this stuff.

Bruce you can't imagine how freaked I am knowing what's coming. I'm so psyched I don't know what to do with myself. This is going to make the summer heat bearable! Thanks for taking this one on for us.

Sure looked like testes to me! LOL!

That is stunningly beautiful Bruce! That's the prettiest ivory I've seen in ages. What a sweet knife! Thanks for bringing this back alive in my heart.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm so jealous I could cry. :( boo hoo! Lucky man! :D

Can't help it; I keep coming back to look at this one, beautiful knife!

Another beautiful Bruce Bump original; just takes the breath away doesn't it? Thanks for sharing your incredible good fortune!

Holy cow, that was a hard choice! You're in some fantastic company on that one Bruce. I hope you win, I think it's deserved, but the other knives are fantastic too. What a charmed life I lead to get to see this kind of work. I'm blessed.

I just caught myself up on the knife's progress and I'm totally blown away, Bruce. We are so blessed to have you showing us how you work, and getting to see such incredible outcomes. It makes my heart beat faster.

Bruce as ever this is totally awesome and awe-inspiring. Sharing the magic the way you do is a wonderful thing. Thanks for all you do. But this is kind of a cliffhanger, you know? I hope we'll get to see at least the finished product from this sweet steel.

Bruce I've never been better. Just got off a long run of hard work at my job and ready for Christmas and a few days off. I'm about ready to start my Hill Pearce homage ... I keep saying that! :) But I'm actually taking a week off from work and hope to get back in the shop for a few days real...

Bruce this is awesome! I enjoy watching you work more than about anything else I do with my free time. :) Can't wait to see this beauty etched...

Bruce that's beautiful! Thanks for the lesson in getting things right.

Well, in my book you're the equal to any maker alive. You're just too modest Bruce. I mean it. Congratulations yet again!
