Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

[afishhunter]

Notched the Nova Traveler rollator's basket tray to clear my new DIY re-purposed rubber 2.5 inch OD pipe butt splice folding reach extender carrier/holster.

Used my Harness Jack's punch (sharpest punch I have) to make the holes, then the Hammer Brand Gunboat's coping blade to cut the sides of each "U".

It may be almost as ugly as me, but it works, and cost less than half a purpose made one -- that would also require modifications to fit this rollator ....

Closer to a workout than usual. The cabbage and cauliflower stalks were easy, but not so the savoy cabbage. (I'm not sure I'll eat that; it might make a good head for a mace.)

Staffette on duty needed a can of nasty, vile, disgusting, gross, stinky, yucky ... red beets opened.
The house 'lectric can opener don't, so she asked to borrow the Demo knife's can opener.
I opened it for her. In exchange, I don't get any of them daRn things contaminating my sausage & bell peppers.

Reading and having an apple snack. Not working on a patina (CPM-154 blade), just enjoying a fresh picked apple.

Joel Embiid, starting center for the Philadelphia 76ers. I thought maybe you were a superfan! I guess I assumed wrong A few years ago the 76ers started using "Trust the Process" as a motto for the fans to be patient and wait for the pieces to fall together, Embiid started using the phrase all the time and is now nicknamed, "The Process".

Up on the roof today hanging over the edge painting some fascia and ran into an area that I forgot to scrape. Was a long ways from a scraper up there...
Out came the RR. Showed it some love tonight and no worse for wear.

Did the pieces fall together?

Nah, still haven't even made it to the finals, they're better than they were before, so that's consolation?

"Proper Tool For The Task"
Staffette on duty asked me to go to the garden, and get the last 2 squash, any ripe tomato that ain't spoilt, and whatever else was ready to get harvested.
Got the squash. Two small toms out of 8 were ripe and ready to come in. 6 larger were/are good for fertilizer, so I left them, along with a spoilt green bell pepper, and all the corn that didn't come in.
Also got some of the lemon grass.
I used my Marbles MR409 "GI Utility Knife".
