It was weird grabbing any steel item and it was warmer than my hands. |

I usually find myself focusing more on the work and forget to take pics. One day I'll do it. I'll likely make a separate thread just for that or add it to DFarm's knifemaking thread. Will definitely post a link here when I do. View Quote Please do. I like to peek behind the curtain. |

Keep a couple of these in the shop/truck: Liquid IV You don’t need to have one every day, but they really help for days like today. Sugar free versions are available too. One packet in a normal water bottle will help you recover or prevent getting that bad. Still need to be drinking water, but these help alot in rough weather. |

Was 49 here with zero humidity this morning. Made it into the high 70's. Was super nice after all the rain we've been having.

I messed up the handle material on the first try for his knife handle so instead of scrapping that material, I designed a bottle opener around the scrap to put it to use. That’s also when I decided to taper the stripe. |
