Had to jump ahead to a polish and wow, I wish the pics did it justice, gorgeous coloring! after trimming them down to proper fit I will take them thru 400 and 600, then on thru the polishing. Blade is all set, just needs the final honing after assembly and this bad boy will get some face time

Then it will be headed this way...........right?

I wish I could keep it! The horn is seriously so much more beautiful in person. Lovin it!

Something to think about for the days when you have to move....

And three similar rooms...The fourth pickup truck load is out and this room is cleared. Two others are getting there.....
Some stuff to the auction house today.
Good friends are gold!
When a buddy offered to help, he commented "Shall we call the Dumpster folks?"
I am getting to that point and haven't even started the upstairs.

Its difficult tossing things but sometimes Richard it best to purge a bit. Just a bit though best of luck.

I wish you all the best with the move Richard, and yes- Good friends are gold! There's a proverb I have loved since I was very young-

"There are companions ready to crush one another, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."

I'm sure you have friends like mine, and if so, you are in good hands

Yeah moving can be a real adventure that's for sure.

But as you guys said good friends are golden. And you really find out who they are when you need them

"Savoir Vivre" goes a long way in this world.

Richard, I wish I could be of some service to you, but the commute would be a killler. Go slow and don't make any hasty moves and you should be fine. It seems like you are doing all the right things. I hope all goes as good as it can. Tough choices are difficult, I think about you and say a word for you often.

Wow Richard, some gold in that their room.... Oh if only we lived closer my friend. I too would be at your disposal...
And more than willing to keep some of your 3 axis tools ready to roll.

Can't show my wife that picture though. Her resistance to my desire to build a separate workshop in our back yard is directly tied to fears of emptying it all out one day..presumably after I'm no longer of this world,,,,

Usable tools are residing in the shop of a gentleman/ friend...I have a key! The tools are his!
His pickup and strong back are heart savers!
Don't need to feel sad for me, life's good. Slow and steady are doing the job.
Plan ahead! There is a season...
Thanks for the kindness!
