Thank you all very much for your input on what to do with that chunk of maple burl. As George Bush said, “I’m the deciderator and I’ve, uh, what?”
There are so many options with these things, that it’s hard to know which way to go.
After I got the resin blob out of the pressure chamber, I chucked it up on the lathe.
Once I had the blade in its final shape, and etched, I stopped sending images of what it looked like to its future owner. Opening a box with a new knife in it should be a surprise, and a small voyage of discovery. It’s especially a surprise if the person didn’t expect a knife and jams their hand into the box to see what’s inside; my sister finally forgave me for sending her an unexpected paring knife many moons ago.
Commentariat(tm) agent kestrel sent me some plum liquer that she made. My eye happened on the bottle as I was grabbing orange juice to make mimosas, this morning.
Please give me feedback if these are getting boring for you, and I can stop and spend my time complaining about the F-35, instead. I’m going to do a series of postings about a knife I recently delivered into the hands of its new person, which I am quite proud of.
In a recent posting, I described a situation involving a few pounds of epoxy and a steel pressure can. [stderr] Commentariat(tm) agent MattP (must mock his crappy brain) suggested a cross-bar and a threaded rod, and I liked that idea.
I may have mentioned before that it’s really hard to drill a hole through composite steel, since (sometimes) the metal hardens from the heat of drilling through the layers. Thus, you get a ways into the piece and think “this is going well” and suddenly all activity ceases until you re-anneal the work.
This is another really awkward story from the build files.
