Opened up my computer tower tonight and blew the dust out. It needed it but was much better than I imagined.

With that for my excitement, Another sign of my boring life!

I wish I had time for that.....Mine should be awful!
If I did it, it would stop working!

Going to my youngest daughter's college graduation tomorrow.

Smile and spend money!

Gotta shove em, Mike! They have the power I never had.
What? You are educated!

And thanks all for the kind words on the knife hilts gents.
First and therefore worst I ever made but learned a few things I will apply to future constructs if the chance presents itself. Bolster filing, and patience when I am getting close, sanding ideas, general design improvements for next time as well.
Want to make a carving blade or two. I have 22” long skinner blades from work that I’m thinking of modifying into carving blades. They were trial samples I can’t use on the equipment that are 59 Rockwell and beautiful carbon content.
