Dan continued working on his twisted damascus dagger today. He finished hammering the shape, started grinding, and got to the first "motivational dip" in the acid. It's already looking so good, just wait until the finished piece!

Kevin's continuing his homeschool classes over the summer. He started a Crocodile Dundee knife, but first he had instruction from mom to do something practical. He hand punched an inscription in for brass for a recipe box he made her in woodshop....then he started his knife.
