Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: box looks like too much work for each knife is there something to be said for sewing little leather slips to hold the knife if you want to send it in something? just one more or less universal size? DFARM's kids could help. great knife I do want to set up a process to make slips for them. It'd be pretty straight forward to have as an add-on. Maybe emboss or brand a logo on them. Some nice leather and contrasting stitching would look great. The boxes are pretty simple for the knives I've designed in CAD. The outline is readily available from the CAD model so I just send that to the laser cutter to cut out a few box inserts. It also engraves the text on the top insert at the same time. The boxes are $2 jewelry boxes from Amazon and the lid is stamped with a rubber stamp logo. I agree, a box insert would be too much effort for one-off knives that would require a profile developed each time. That would be a perfect use for a leather slip. |

Not a whole lot. The blade and lock bar would take few more hours of programming the CAD and CAM, a few hours dialing in the machining process, grinding, and heat treat. I'd probably want to put that effort into a unique design of my own at that point though.
What I need to do is teach this friend some CAD so he can run with his designs and then I just help him get them machined. Right now I'm doing the whole process which takes time away from me making my own knives. |

So ready for a nice, although soon to be rainy, weekend. Found the Monkey's lighter too. Just heard from the vet I still am a dog owner. He was in the hospital 3 days this week and responded pretty well to antibiotics and steroids with his eye issue. Below is what he looked like Monday. They ended up taking an eye today and I had signed the paper to not wake him if he had a tumor or something in his head. They thought for sure he did. We had him at the house Wed night till this morning and, while still in pain, was able to get around pretty good being mostly blind. Started acting like himself again. He was on 4 meds. Anyway, took the eye, didn't see any abscess or tumor. Just inflammation. Going to biopsy the eye. No real answers what happened. Vet can't explain why it affected both eyes. Anyway...

One-off vs production mindset.

Last one died about the same age and went blind right before. Put him in our bed and tucked him in like I always do. He was really feeling bad. Held him and he passed in my arms. I was having flashbacks. Part of being a dog owner, but damn that kind of shit is hard. I'll post pics of the one eyed bandit when I get him next week. Thanks again for all the kind words. |

He was one of the nicest guys I believe I've ever come across. Offered to bring some back next time he went that way. |

No pizza this week. Nothin' healthy either.
The cheddar biscuits were missing something, but the fish was on point. Made tartar sauce without the capers and almost burned the hush puppies, but I was just drunk enough to enjoy all of it.  |

Not sure what rock you've both been living under, but asparagus is one of the most common breakfast vegetables; plus, it was brunch at 11AM. It goes exceptionally well with runny yoke & bacon (hollandaise would of course be even better).
Just ask Julia Child... |

Never once have I heard of or seen anyone eat asparagus for breakfast. I don't care what she says, it's still weird.
