What are you all doing today, on this beautiful sunny Sunday?

Finished sorting out my new van so the bikes go in snug and secure..

It has been a knife making day so far. I am trying to complete a couple of knives in time to give away as presents. I'm at the shaping the handle stage and was sat here considering the wisdom of buying a spindle sander.

Ooo knives, we need pics.

Been out for a roast lunch at the pub with family, 10 of us in all. We met our niece's proper serious boyfriend for the first time, thoroughly nice chap, he will do.

What's a treadle?
And what's an overlocker?

An overlocker is a type of sewing machine and the treadle is my name for its foot control.

I got very frustrated looking at a lovely day for cycling whilst not allowed to ride. I took the bus to a local shopping area did some shopping and walked back. Checked the fluids in the car, topped up the screen wash, cleaned the windows and run the engine for half an hour.

Ooo knives, we need pics.

I didn't get to finish any today. The one I'm working on has an Australian She Oak handle and that stuff is very hard! I actually melted a saw blade trying to cut it. I had to take a hacksaw to it in the end and treat it like metal. Apparently, it takes up desert sand as it grows.

Here is one I did finish (third knife I ever made); a little knife for my daughter. It is made from a scrap end of O1 tool steel and has a rather nice polish to the handle. It is another hard wood but I'm not sure what it is exactly.

I have a friend who gives me odd off cuts that would otherwise end up in his wood burner.

The knife is resting on a nice piece of American Maple.

I'd have loved a bike ride, but instead spent time buying Christmas tree, buying 'stuff' from Costco and this afternoon started turning the garage into a spaceship. On the plus side, day off tomorrow when the weather will be rubbish..
