The weekly update..
I'll be making one more Koa Slicer, SSK and an SPK this week. These are all spoken for, but if something changes I will post them up here. Then I've got a few special projects planned to keep me busy after these are done. Really that means I'm going try some new stuff and mess up some steel. The garage is a wreck right now so I think I'll give it a good cleaning tomorrow.
Made a stop in Lexington
And grabbed some West 6th Brews to keep me hydrated in the shop.
Time for a little break to reflect.
A lot was done this week. It's time to set the tools down for a few days and reflect on the little progress made. Loads of notes to go over and see what can be improved. Learn, try, assess, improve.. It's a cycle. Thanks for the all dudes helping me out, and the people excited to see what comes out of the garage.
Blanks ready for bevels.
Got a small run of blanks ready the holes are drilled so now it's time for the rough bevels to be ground. S.S.K's and some S.P.K's in this batch
Getting ready for some snow.
Last minute splitting session. I'm actually sitting out in the cold, enjoying a beer. The sky is wicked dark and it's calm out, hopefully the storm isn't much to write about. I'll be hold up in the garage tomorrow and spending time with the wife and kids. Let's do this Mother Nature.
