I hate hearing stuff like this. We're going through something similar with the local municipality. Trying to upgrade to a new shop but they say we don't fit into the zoning :/ I hope you are able to continue making knives!

The sculptures are really neat though! It takes skill to be able to just switch gears and start creating another quality product so quickly!

Good luck with the insurance company.

Cheers,

Thanks Mike, municipalities are usually a pain to deal with I hope you get the situation resolved.

Bartlett, good one about the butterfly. lol

Thanks to all, I really appreciate the good words and as much as I miss making knives, I am really enjoying these sculptures.
 
I got it forged in 3 hours with just a hammer. It would have been faster with a hotter forge even. The only downtime I had was waiting for it to heat up.
 
Man this ironwood is addicting stuff! AEB-L with ironwood, white liners & hollow pins. Slowly getting better on grinding & finishing, but having fun with it now (not as much an exercise in masochism as before)! This one is very thin, so it's not really a robust knife, better as a fine slicer, cuts really well at 19 DPS. FFG is done with a 600 grit finish on the blade this time.

Ben that's awesome looking burl! I might have to go shopping again. You have any matched scales for that one?

Here is some of your manzanita burl again. Just finished this prototype western Gyuto.

I love how smooth manzanita polishes up.

And im sure you would like the leopardwood! You like the ray figure oak, and this is the king or ray figure!
 
Finally got around to finishing this 3 finger necker.



Had the garage/shop rewired, and my breaker box upgraded to 200 amps. No more tripping switches. Also getting my motorcycle ready to sell so I can use the money to buy a real grinder.

Working on my first kydex sheath for it atm. Just waiting for the die set from knifekits for my new arbor. Also built a kydex press.:thumbup:

That looks classy![emoji1303]

Two questions that you don't have to answer if you don't want to. What grinder are you planning on getting and what arbor press did you get?

Hey, thanks!

I narrowed my choice down to a Pheer grinder. And went with a Palmgren 1/2 ton arbor press.
