Two more done and on to preparing for spring!
The start of the year has been a mess of projects, mainly around the house, which has caused a shortage of shop time. Although some things are getting done, but not at the pace I'd like.
New Year, new knives a rusty anvil, and some same old stuff as well.
First blog of 2017 and here we go! Winter is setting in here in SC. Right now we just had our first (and probably only) snow here in the upstate. It's cooled down a bit, but things are still happening in the shop.
The Blade Show prep and aftermath.
The weeks leading up to Blade Show have been nothing short of Chaotic! With NRA Show a few weeks back, then the annual trek to the 100th Running of the Indy 500, and then trying to get some knives done before Blade Show life has been a bit rushed.
No. 47, 49 and 50..
Lots has been happening in the shop despite the SC heat that is setting in for the summer. Been chipping away at the pile of blanks and finally reached the end of this run. No. 47 and No. 49...
