Its been a long time coming but.............

[Ernie Swanson]

it was warm enough today that my shop would heat enough to be able to work out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 4 blades cut out, 1 ground, and started to sand.

It felt good to get out there and work, its been almost 4 months:31:

That's awesome Big E!
I'm glad to see you have some time for yourself finally.
Good to see you making some noise in the shop!

good looking stuff Ernie!! Can"t wait to see them finished

Lookin' good bro! I bet it feels good to make some sparks again. I start missing the aroma of hot steel by the end of the weekend, I can only imagine going months without being able to grind.

Yes it feels great, I got to work out there some more today, I got the cable damascus blade finished and ready for heat treat.
I had to pick up a few sanding drums and some more sand paper today so I will start on the stainless blades next weekend.
