Pictures From Around the Shop - WIP etc...

[Mark Terrell]

I just figured I'd start posting some random in progress pictures that show work that's going on in and around the shop.

This will just kind of be a random collection of pictures so you guys can see what's going on.

I tend to just pull out the camera and snap some pictures from time to time so here you go.....

Just a few blanks (above)

Preparing to cut a lock bar (above)

Thanks for the pics. I like the looks of the new folder.

Some more pics...

This one was taken after I had milled out some moonglow.... Low light pic that shows the glowing powder left over...

This is only 1/5 of the CF I just got in.. It's F22 and for the knuckles...

One of the new folders, about 3/4 of the way done...

Close up of the bolsters...

One with CF and Moonglow bolsters....

The drawer of some of the folders I'm working on right now..

I had to stabilize some scales the other day, so I went ahead and did a bunch of wood scales while I was at it...

Yesterday I had to mill even a bunch of Titanium squares for folder liners... I do them that way so I can stack about 8 at a time and drill the holes uniformly...

Below is a pic of some of the knuckles I'm working on...

Some of the 8 sets of mosaic damascus I got from Chad Nichols

And finally, pictures of the Kurt Vise I just picked up. This thing is f'n huge, but about a bazillion times better than the p.o.s. I was using....

Here's a comparison pic.... You can't really tell from it, but it absolutely dwarfs the old one....
