Setting up my mill. The real work of cleaning and tramming it has yet to begin. Had to move the whole shop around to fit it in... Box one of tooling and accessories. I think I have spent on more them than the mill cost me! LOL

I finally found the DVD set on Knife Sheath Making. This is my humble first try at making a Mexican Loop Sheath with my twist to it. Forgive my cellphone photo of it on my temporary work table. This as all my firsts is for me.

I've been very low key not showing any work for the past 7 to 8 months. I had a foot injury back in the beginning of October. After all these months off my feet there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel. I just completed the first of six weeks of hyperbaric chamber treatments. The...

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money...

My first folder, 1095 that was 3/8" thick drawn down to 3/16", I used a 20 line checking file for the blade jimping. The handle is micarta with a micarta spacer and stainless steel pivot and pins. The stop pin is a 1/4" mosaic pin. This was fun to try and I will be making more of these and...

While moving into the new shop I found a knife I had started over eight months ago. It is just crying to be finished in a different way. Dewcarta to the rescue!!! Hollowing the area for the tang. (First time I've tried this) Checking the fit. I'm using a dremel tool to carve out the...

Well I've been working on the new shop for over a month now. Hope to finish it when I get back from Blade. All knifemaking has been put to the side so I can finish this project. I will post link to video of the journey after I am finished.

Well I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to still photography but, not much about video. I'm headed to Blade and would like to do some video while I'm there. I would like a camera that is not to large, has a reasonable optical zoom, uses memory cards so I can upload easily, carry various...

This is my Rustic Utility knife meets ResinWood project. I won this handle material in Tracy's Give Away. I had never used ResinWood before, it works like white oak and has the attitude to be used as a Neo Tribal handle material. It looks natural, and is very nice as a finished product. Kinda...
