The sheath is coming along nicely.  I have progressed thru several more steps and have sewn the belt loop down, glued in the welt, and folded over and sewn down the edges and sanded that edge.  I pain...

Boredom... the curse of retirement.  I decided I wanted to make another knife for myself and I had purchased two of the shawnee pattern blanks and rough brass bolsters. I planned to use Walnut for my...

Now, I had made a bunch of knives in the last few years, but don't claim to be great at it.  I am always learning and I always see the ways to improve when I am finished with each.  But, the wife LOVE...

I suffered a hand injury that kept me from major woodworking projects for a good while, and I still have a pucker factor when I use the table saw or the router, so I avoid those when I can.  I broke t...

I drilled the holes for the dowels on the drill press, careful to space them so they did NOT hit the screws coming in from the other side.  Didn't want to ruin that high priced forstner bit. :no: T...
