Let's see the cool stuff you make! Official "show off thread"

These were the two I poured yesterday. These are the last two, so no more pics of these.
The left one was a request from the Mrs.

Mrs. Lpherr has good taste!

A small drop point in 1084. Made it fancy with scales poured by @Lpherr that I segmented with G-10 liners and spalted maple.

That came out nice. Nice combination too.
It must have a Hemi, because it's sweet.

Thank you! I really like the contrast, helps that the scales polish up so nicely

Got the sheath done for the little drop point

2 different drawer pulls for my desk drawers. The bottom looks better but requires drilling 2 holes in the lid. The top: what's shown only works as a drawer pull and the attachment of the lid to the drawer is a different thing all together.

I didn't make it, but I made it pretty.

I did a full brake service (calipers, rotors and pads) on the truck since the one wheel has been grinding badly. This is the result of all the metal being ground off the rotor and pad backing plate.




That is unacceptable, so I had to add some pretty to it.
Ten minutes on the buff jack.

While not particularly practical, I got this done this morning...

My buddy asked me to make him a brisket knife, basically the only requirements he had were that it has a 10” edge and that it’s thin and flexible. I used 1/16 15n20, very hard to grind and sharpen because of the flex but I got it after lots of fiddling around with it

I couldn't find the "show us how much of a cheapskate you are " thread so I'll put this here.
I've saved a uspsa cardboard to use for cutting scrap cardboard into targets for years. This will make the process much quicker and easier. It will also serve as the end plate for the stack of cut cardboards so they store easier in the garage.


Update. This makes it incredibly easy and faster. Being able to put my hand on the wood and lean on it while I cut is a big deal. Cutting cardboard with a cardboard template doesn't allow that.
I cut all these in maybe 20 minutes counting cleanup.

My four year old daughter has been begging me for a knife every time I would show her one I made so I finally gave in and made her one. I got lucky and found a block of stabilized maple with all her favorite colors and I added pink and purple liners for a little extra pizzazz.

One more done before I forced to go back to work

 

[Frosty]

Got sheaths finished up for the latest two.

 

[Bugzilla]

Couldn’t find a decent tongue tool box for our camper so I built one.

I finished this. A M16 model 604. Slick side Air Force version that was also used in Vietnam by the Navy's Riverine Force.




I took a run-of-the-mill Anderson lower and removed part of the fence. Well not completely correct because the partial fence really should have been cut back a little farther over the magazine release, this is about as far as I wanted to take it. Maybe in the future I'll get a correct one from PSA. I still need to get some period correct take down pins, magazine release, safety and bolt release.
