Thread: What are you working on?

Good to see you back in a shop working on a project my friend!

ATTA BOY, Richard!!

Nice work around here lately, everybody! Love that Packwood blade, Richard.
Jmabuse - I like using honey horn too and have also had pieces that were delaminating. I hear you about all the hand sanding. Sometimes you can see potential delaminating problems before you even get started, or early in the project. I've had blanks that I could normally get two scales out of but because of delaminating I could just get one, or even none. That's the deal with natural products I guess.

I've took a break from horn for a change and have been working on making some acrylic scales from a 6 inch pen blank. The razor is an A. Feist & Co, Lunawerk that I picked up at a flea market last summer. It had bad scales and some rust. I'm almost done with cleaning up the blade, still needs final polish. I kept the wedge and third pin spacer to reuse with the new scales. I got the scales done now so after final polish on the blade I should be able to put 'er back together.

Nice work Tuzi! Very nice work indeed! :

As far as some online ordered overseas supplied blanks, I bought some and within a couple months, they were delaminating. The horn seems not to have been processed as well as the horn I bought from Knife suppliers in this country.

Richard, it is good to see you back in action. The Kirinite you have there and the Acrylic that’s Tuzi is using are some crazy colours and patterns. Some day I may take a walk on the wild side.

While I know exactly what you are talking about I just had to post this 'Walk on the Wild Side'.

Please forgive me my friend.

I was referring to my scale making Roy. To date my scales have been very traditional in design and material. Conservative you might say. If I were to use the funky Kirinite or acrylic that would be a walk on the wild side.

I knew that my friend, I was just having some fun! Life is way too short to not enjoy a little humor along the way.

Well I am glad that it was me being humoured over not being understood.
However I’m sorry I missed the joke.
