A little Bowie I just finished up, 80CrV2 steel, stainless guard and buckeye Burl scales.
And starting the sheath work for it

Finished up the sheath for the Bowie. Went with buck stitching this time for something different.

I always like to see some good tooling

The tools keep getting banned.

We'll never know if one is good.

I don’t know about good but I think it’s passable

As long as you're getting top dollar. That makes me want to get a knife, just so I have a need for a sheath.
Now do a holster. I'm sure those would be in demand.

I have plans to make a gun belt and holster for my Taylor I got a couple months ago, just have to find the time to actually do it

The start of Elmer's "scotty" engine.
The name come from the fact the engine uses a scotch yoke reciprocating assembly (might want to Google that)

My "tactical " pen I machined up.

Thx! A German company called Nunu Platz. I think it's a relatively new company they do a lot of race cars that are like rally cars, 24-hour cars, LeMans that kind of stuff.

It was a two-month project. Full interior with seat belts, carbon fiber decals, photo etch. The decals were a mfer. They could have been printed a little thinner which made them hard to go around the edges and the body panels. I had to use a lot of decal softener to make them conform.

My son and daughter-in-law got me the kit for my birthday last year. I had to clear some stuff off the bench to finally get into it and get it done. The best part was that I got some real world research when I saw one at the 8 Hour endurance race in Indy last October

At the fort today. The stove pipe set up wasn’t getting smoke out fast enough. So building a nice chimney. Rocks in nearby field. Hope tomorrow to add another few layers higher. Fire was just cement bags. And started on a rock floor in front.

We are having our annual Model Contest and sales again on April 6 at the fairgrounds in Lebanon. Pretty big show with lots of vendors tables, I’ll have one, and some fantastic models in the contest and display. The theme is mostly military vehicles and aircraft but there is also some cars, bikes and Sci Fi stuff. Lots of good buys on kits, paints, supplies and books.
