fatchap Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Started work this morning at 10 am before I knew it it was 9pm. No dinner she says she called me 3 times but I don't beleive her. Dinner....or whats left of it went in the dog. Very busy in the shed at the moment, Sticklebacks to do, skinning knife, 2 filleting knives, ones almost done, the other was what I was hoping to get done today, but time just flew. Blue snakeskin Juma was what he wanted, tried to talk him out of it as its pretty expensive and one wrong cut or too heavy on the belt sander and your 60 quid out of pocket. But he said he liked the other one I made so could I go with that. I done the blade last weekend and honestly thought I would get the handle done today. Yesterday was a no hoper as her nibs had plans for the car and as she don't drive her plans for the car included me. Still got plenty to do but hopefully should have it done by Wednesday..possibly Thursday, defiantly by Friday. Handle needs a good sand, right up to 1000 grit, Nickel Silver bolster and end cap and spacers need finishing, polishing etc etc. And I need to etch the blade as well. Its a bit of an ugly duckling at the moment.... Even roughed out you can see the scale effect, once polished it does look a bit special.
