Follow up the punches with a proper awl, it will perfect the holes for you.

I'll put in a plug for Jeff Mosby.

Grampa,
There is a company called Gesswein that makes a wide assortment of finishing stones. I use the 1/16"x1/2"x6" stones, in grits from 150 to 1,200.
They sell all sorts of stones but these have served me for machine tool work for over 30 years.

Fred,
You reminded me of the best Brit comedy.... 'Benny Hill'....... busted a gut more than once laughing at his sketches/skits. Some classics..

It's not a can, it's a small cloth sack of smoking tobacco, like it says on the label.
-
I guess I assumed you put that little circle and string there on purpose. Cowhands who smoked used little sacks of Bull Durham tobacco and some papers. Usually kept it on the right shirt pocket, just like you tooled it in. If that isn't a sack with the string, what is it supposed to be? That little yellow circle was on every sack of Bull Durham. I have some sacks here in my tool box, they contain gem quality beryl from when I was mining.

Cowhand on right side has his Bull Durham sack!

Dwight,
4mm/25.4mm/inch =0.1574 inches thick.. less than 3/16"

From the paint slobbers around the machine label, it's a 'newly' repainted machine. Pretty sloppy for a new machine where they rivet the label on as the last item.

Chuck,
I had a quiver like that on an old Carroll compound, 1974. It ran straight up and down, was so nice. One sunny fall day I was in a tree and a blue jay thought it would be a nice place to rest. He stayed 10 minutes or so, we just eyeballed each other til he blinked first.
We have ten bobcats on the 151 acres..... going to have to do something. They wiped out my pheasants and wild turkeys... Between them and the coyotes it feels like home out west again. 84F right now.
God bless
Oh...... Nice quiver :)))

Dwight,
Older, as in 1890, and newer ones as well, were tied with the multi hole lace method. Older ones had more holes to lace, newer ones fewer. You can date them by the number of holes.

Nice! What weight and leather is the belt made from?
God bless

Good old Everclear booze....... 95 proof.

Ya done good!

Sad irons/flat irons are nice because of the varied shapes, pointy, rounded and straight. Leather faces keep the iron from discoloring the leather, moist or not.

Mora was my first thought too. I bought three of them in the last few months. Never had a sharper knife..
She did well! Good coach too.
You put in to PR yet?
God bless

PITA learn two needle and awl sewing. The illustration shows it following up an awl, so what's the point.

'bobbin cases', vs. 'bobbins'

Nice new shop!
Has your pup got any Plott in her?
God bless

Asian........yup, burnt to a crisp. Ordered a laser powered rust remover, looked great! Never got it. Emailed, a company only in existence for a week, replied with a 40 digit 'UPS' tracking code. Went online with the code......it said 'Delivered'........ and it was a tracking service offered by the brand new company.... now they are out of existence.

Nice work! Now, I can see an issue.....if your quality control guy in the background swings his tail just right....... MeeeooooooWWWWWW. I see he's already left his inspection hairs all over the machine! My cat is just as bad...... gotta love 'em.
