I really appreciate the kind words from someone halfway around the world who does such polished work.

Yeah, having Bruce watching kept me out of a lot of trouble. Those Rhino Fingers skins look like just what my thumbs crave for doing more of this!

Thanks so much, I was pleased that it came out so well.

I just had the privilege of building my first knife under the guidance of Bruce Bump. I'm a woodworker by trade and have done some welding, but I sure learned a lot and have come to a very deep appreciation for the design and workmanship I see displayed in the Knife Dogs Forum. Some things I...

Howdy Bruce, is that your own engraving on this latest piece?

One More... Some great names here, especially the “Guide for Frequent Filers”. But, as I see it, we’re looking for the right collective noun for a group of Bruce's beauties - something new. I propose that they be called a Boogie: As in a Boogie of Belt Bouncin’ Bumpers We’ve even got the...

Lookin' great there, Bruce. That's a sweet sheen on the stock. Didja get that big sander motor up and running again?

A ddemonstration for Dave Hi Dave, Here’s how I’ve been finishing with CA glue: Sand the wood to 400 grit. I go to my pile of old t-shirt rags and cut the hem off the bottom or the sleeves to get a nice double layer of cloth about 3/4 to 1” wide. Then cut that into about 3” pieces. Fold one...

Hi Dave, Great to have you check in here. Finishing with CA adhesive is one of the trickiest parts for me. I've struggled with it a bunch and have developed a method that's been working pretty well (on the lathe, at least). I'll try to come up with some better pictures this weekend to show...

Bruce & I both thank you for generously commissioning that slippie for me. He 'll have it done right after he finishes up old "Dragon Breath".

Wow, thanks everyone for all the kind comments. It is a fun way to use remnants that are too small for anything else. I appreciate being entered in the drawing, too. As far as coming out of the shell goes, it's not that difficult when the shell is as soft-in-the-middle as this one is.:3:

I'll be right over! (Well, maybe next time I think of a reason to escape work for a while.)

Thanks Laurence, Even though it's not directly knife related, it's nice sometimes to have a project that can be completed in a just a couple of hours. Feel free to contact me if you'd like some tips on suppliers, techniques, tooling or equipment. Roger

Thanks Eric, Friendship is the greatest gift we can share.

I stopped by Bruce’s shop last Friday and he gave me a piece of the Turkish Walnut he used for the stock on his axe/gun. Honest, I didn’t even have to beg (very much). I cut a piece if it about ¾ x ¾ x 3”...

"We get SO worked up watching these political debates."

This deserves a "Knife Dog" caption contest.

Bruce's Bling Box After much sanding and multiple thin coats of varnish, the box for Bruce's beast is finished. It will look much better when he gets it filled with the Dragonslayer and all it's accessories. Thanks for letting me join in the fun here. Roger

A Lid - L Progress I placed the box on its lid, marked out hinge locations and mortised them in just like before. I left an overhang on the back that will be utilized as a stop to hold the lid in the open position. I marked out the...

Back to Woodwork We interrupt this high-level metalworking thread to get back to some more basic woodworking. Thank you for your kind comments as I attempt this sort of pictorial documentation for the first time. The new hinges arrived and the grandkids went home, so now I'm back to work on...
