Semi productive weeka

A semi productive week this week
sourced some 30-30 shells for future inlays,
got 21 sleeves made up from a silicon riffle sock for blade storage,
printed & bound a copy of a very usefull reference book some may have seen before,
aquired a couple of old hole punch dies to try making a makers stamp with,

mail man finally came with some 1/16" sterling silver rod (probable to soft for pins but might work for pattern pins),
some SS rivet type washers and some other secret squirrel items for inlays for future gifts currently in the workshop,
also completed a repair & restore on a unique Bengall as a sort of a customer service appreciation award for a shop owner with impeccable memory, that once honed and sent off I will post about.
the sectret squirrel items are not shown as that would be spoilers if seen but a pic of the rest


Oh yeh not shown is a small anvil made from a section of rail I have mostly complete bar a bit more cleaning up

This is a prelim of the service award
Should be save as the receiver doesn't know about it and isn't a member

Still want to make a plaque and hone it yet, so the option is there to only show or use it if wanted.

The silicon sleeves are a great idea. I have a rifle sock I'm not using, so I may have a go at that myself.
