For this song, I've decided you're handsewing the frogs on my chirka. If you do well, I shall reward you with baked ziti on Sunday after dance practice.

This posts stands on it's own for out-of-context lulziness.

Oh he's totally sitting on my couch handsewing right now.  :evil:

I improved a verse or so from the couch, too.   :lulz:

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

And NATO has just sent me notices about filking and the Genevea Treaty again.

My current idea of metalic perversity requires a 1" x 3" x 18"  piece of stock... 

Scaling back plans so the finished product doesn't weight as much a section of rail track...

Finished!
Maori fishhook (hei matau), carved from a stainless steel mast fitting.
This was part a boat I used to teach sailing on, and was kind of responsible for wrecking.  Seemed appropriate to make a charm for safe passage over water out of it.



Tools:  My spike wrench (14 in long), holster for such, and my large marlin spike (Brass.  Technically an antique.  There's a carriage bolt epoxied into the handle to make it a better improvised hammer.)

We need to find that picture of you in college with all your tools and weaponry spread out in front of you like Manji from Blade of the Immortal.

D'ya have a trenchcoat with pockets lining the inside where you put them all?

I can picture you having one of those, Richter.

Suu

He does, actually.

Okay, not with all the pockets...as far as I know. He's never flashed me.

SHOCKING!










I mean, no pockets?  c'mon!

Richter

The duster does have quite a few pockets.  I just normally don't wear it when I have that many tools on me. 
(Fine line between "Every Day Carry", enough to warrant a tool or pistol belt, and "Stop fuckign around and get a golf bag"  :wink: )

I found a piece of scrap on the sidewalk today, and saw it was a small knife waiting to happen.
It's the thing on the edge of the bowl, and will be a kiridachi, a small knife for planing wood.


I'm off to get a MAP gas torch to properly harden the steel. 

(Soon I'll have to stop fucking around and either get an oxy / acetylene rig, build a forge, or keep my projects aside until I can hit up friends who have them.)

This morning: trash on the side of the road.

This afternoon:  KNIFE.



On the workbench with tools and one of Suu's excellent martinis.


Required resources:  a bastard file, torch (or other hot fire), whetstone, cord, and water.

Do you have a bench grinder?

I bet you would really enjoy a bench grinder.
