Week of October 5-11

Scott and his daughter Harlie were back today. Scott started a new damascus billet. Harlie finished another knife in the set she's making for herself, and was a Guinea Pig for the steel pumpkins! She's also the first one to buy out new knife stands!
October 7
Great time with Desiree and Bob! They are celebrating their 30th anniversary today by making Railroad Spike Knives!
October 7
Keegan is back! He's building up the basic skills for future projects. So today he made a Railroad Spike Knife. Beautiful tanto style blade, leaving the hammer marks in the blade for a more rustic finish, and a 4 twist handle. And of course super sharp. Great job!
October 8
More steel snakes today with Level 1 Homeschoolers! Very creative shapes today!
October 8
Fun welding class with Tim! And he's the first one to make the newly designed pencil holder--now with a phone holder! He did a great job.
October 9
And even more snakes! The Last Level 1 Homeschool class forged their first steel snakes today. Great job by all of them!
October 9
Breanna was back today! She made another pumpkin and started an apocalypse knife. Its all about balance. Apocalypse knives are a fun ones we do. No rules, gnarly looking. Still hammered out, but things can be welded on, left as is. It's just a fun one to do. Breanna did a great job and will add the handle material next time.
