Griff,

My admiration of you and Pete and what you've wrought... words fail me.

Your swelled head is FOR CAUSE. You *should* strut and crow.

what is going on with you and birds, man?

That's how their story will start when they tell their kids about how they got together.

Griff · 06-15-2018, 02:38 PM

I don’t know about that, she’s had a front row seat to all his college relationships. She even arranged for her sister to make stuffed animals for two of them.

Just found this setup in my shop. Clever. Or maybe it's inspiration from a YouTube video.

I don't understand what I'm looking at. Is he grinding a knife blade from scratch?

glatt · 06-19-2018, 08:04 AM

Yes. But the smart thing is that he created a homemade jig that keeps the bevel of the blade at a consistent angle. It's a lot of work filing away at that blade, and it's easy to get sloppy. His jig prevents that.

The idea is not a groundbreaking new one, but it's nothing I taught him, and he cobbled together 6 different items to work together to give him what he was looking for.

It's not the cure for cancer, but it's showing some thought.

Yes indeed, quite clever. That's the way my Lansky sharpener works.
