Really cool Rhino! How do you like doing custom knife making full time? I've debated doing that myself, but I think I would love to do that after I have more steady income for a few years and buy all the tools I need. Calicos are awesome cats. My family has 13 cats (Yes, 13. They just kept showing up and my mom couldn't turn away a fuzzy face) and I've lived with cats my whole life. Probably one of my favorite animals. We have one dog ourselves, and she's great. Probably one of the happiest dogs I've ever met.
Living by the place you love is always great! My dad loves the ocean as well. Can't beat the view, that's for sure. And since you're on the west coast, you get to see the sunset ever day on the ocean, which must be awesome.
Nothing else I rather be doing than making knives and running a knife store.
I have customers come in once in awhile, that start telling me that they think they have a problem?
I own so many knives! And I keep buying more! I usually just bust up laughing and say,
So you think you have a problem and may need professional help?
Why do you think I taught myself how to make knives and own a sharpening & knife store? :s12137:
I think 17 cats was the record when I was growing up along with a couple of dogs.
My childhood cat was a Calico and I have had a special place for them in my heart ever since. We lived on about a acre which is large for the housing track suburbia area we where in.
I also love to target shoot and have my own assortment of arms.
Watching the sunset into the ocean with the beautiful color hues you get from the L.A. smog is quite remarkable! We try to catch it as ofter as we can.
Our Bohemian apartment is on 3rd st and our store and my work shop are on 4th st, so you can guess that the sandy decline to the ocean starts very close.
