Nice! Thanks for sharing the pattern.

If they’re selling, you’re not over charging. Keep it up!

YESSSS! I’d love to see this in person, looks like it came out great. It’s been fun to follow this project, thanks for the pics.

I’ve tried to justify spending the money on a 3D printer for years - this is about as close as I’ve come. Thanks for sharing the files, excellent idea.

As @garypl said I think that’s easiest. Only other option involves using a service like google hangouts that allows to send directly.

Putting that pony to good use! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the update, guys! At that price it’s hard to go wrong, going to have to order one myself.

Just sent an email, thanks.

How has this little blade held up for you, @Frodo? Still happy with it?

Not sure if we’re looking at the same thing but ones like this I’ve seen have just been glued.

Why have one just like everybody else when you’re making it for yourself? The red stands out and that handle is a thing of beauty. Nice job! What weight did you end up at?

Looks great! Sure is a lot of stitching, looks like you handled it nicely.

Clever idea, nice execution. Thanks for sharing!

As I said on your now-lost post, I really like the coloring work you did on these. Very clean and precise.

Sorry to hear of your pain, Ferg! I worked at a coffee shop for about a year over 15 years ago and all of us there had constant wrist pain from the motion required for the espresso machine. Little did I expect I was doing long term damage, all these years later and the pain has never completely gone away. Of course I’ve done plenty else since then that may have caused damage, but I had never had any pain previously. I’m thankful that it’s not severe enough to limit my activities. Wishing you the best for your upcoming surgeries. Let us know how it turns out.

Saw this post the other night and boy howdy have I fallen down the ‘science of sharp’ rabbit hole! He’s got a ton of fascinating experiments and pics on there. Cool resource, great in-depth reading for anyone interested in what’s actually going on when you sharpen or strop a blade.

Welcome aboard, @Raindog951! Sounds like you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. Looking forward to seeing more from you here.

Are the head knives still available?

Happiness here as well. No, not every day, but on balance. Celebrated 20 years last month and although Covid meant we missed out on the cruise we had long contemplated for our 20th, instead the kids made us dinner and we enjoyed an evening together as a family. Life is far from perfect, but it’s good. I'm with Chuck on this one - if you still think you need a prenup when the time comes, maybe the *right* time hasn’t come after all.

Nice! You’re off to a great start. Super functional and a great learning project. Keep up the good work!

Looks nice! I like the lion stamp as well, but I think it would be more natural if he was on the left looking toward the center instead of facing away. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more as you experiment with stitching.

Pin this post, admins! 100% right on, @Spyros.

I love hopping on here and seeing something new from you @Rolandranch! Always a pleasure to look at. You’re right, that border has a very cool rounded look.

Those look great, @TVvoodoo! Good looking guitars too. Thanks for sharing.

I assume you’ve tried buckleguy.com? I can’t quite picture what you’re referring to, a pic would help. Welcome aboard!
