Yesterday projects.
Finishing up my hammering practice turning a piece of 3/4" square stock into a 1.5" cube.

Also made pair of plank chairs I started in between heats. Rough sawn 5/4 x 14 red oak. Cut, shaped, then planed and sanded before giving them a coat of danish oil.
I'll post a pic of them later today.

A few of those plank chairs would look really cool around the corn hole boards and horse shoe pits. Nice vik
 
Need to put some etchant on my 18, so I can use it. I get lazy sometimes. Such an easy thing to do too.
 
Karma is real. The head engineer where I work. My bosses boss is retiring and moving to Florida of course. Anywho. He cleaned out his shop and brought me some gifts. Amongst the ridgid pipe wrenches, 12R die heads, bolt cutters, and B tank regulators he hands me this old bayonet. I know your a knife nut i thought you'd like this old thing that's been in a box for years. It's a O.L. 1943 uncut 16 inch M1905 I almost couldn't contain myself. It's gotta be a repop. I snatched off the scales (which still had cosmoline under them) wiped the tang a bit and sure enough O.L. Stamped into the tang under the scales. The real deal. War time production 16 inch M1905. Now I'm on a mission to find an original M3 scabbard.

What a nice guy! That ought to skewer quite nicely, if'n a body were a mind too.
