Come back tomorrow and try again

I show how I make a knife sheath with a quilted leather design

I’m building a hinged roof over my backup generator. It fuels from the top and I want to protect the generator from rain, but I’ll need to be able to tilt the roof up so I can pour gas into the generator from the top. One more day and the entire project will be done. I may even give the little genny a trial run. Champion dual fuel generator https://amzn.to/461DJHg

Indianapolis colts mama.

$165 shipped in the U.S. Sunday I’ll finish the sheath. This was a very enjoyable build. From my brain, to paper, to a pattern on steel, to a polished knife. 109% my own creation. That’s a real good feeling of accomplishment .

$165. Sheath tomorrow.

I’m kind of anxious to see what the final knife is going to look like. I tried something new with the handle and I’ve designed a sheath Ive never made before. Cant wait to see this all come together.

Got it heat treated and into the tempering o en. Tomorrow I’ll sand off the schmutz, polish it up and get the handles on it.

And I found out a little more info on Roofcat. Roofcat was actually born u see the house and has lived there for nearly 12 years now. She’s been fed every day and I’m really surprised that she hasn’t shown any sign of wanting companionship with any of the people that have fed her over the last 12 years. I e been feeding her for 5 years. I give up trying to pet her or convince her to live in the trailer where I could keep her warm in the winter.

Stihl MS250. Chainsaw. This new saw is a happy comprise between the huge MS391, and the under powered MS211C.

3 down, 5 to go.

This little chainsaw has taken some getting used to to. The trigger safety is and the most ridiculously designed thing and I hope they fired the engineer that let this be manufactured with it. We do not feed foxes ! We feed our dogs outside and the foxes run up and steal their food.

Not one, but this gator pulled two trees down. I can’t believe how much better I feel since my surgery. I can even see the difference in how much work I can get done in a day.

Sunnyday is 16 now and she’s been sick for about 7-8 days. We got more meds and we’re gonna try to get her through this.

Just finishing a few projects and getting a knife started.

Just another nice day at the hacienda.

It was a gorgeous day, in fact, it was a little on the cool side until afternoon. Got a few small projects done. I’m gonna sneak out tonight and roll a few logs o to the fire. I want to keep the coals going until I start cutting again on Monday.

Was gone most of the day. Charlys brand new glasses broke and sunny is sick. Spent most of the day in town.

Finally got both window AC’s permanently. Got them both installed, caulked, painted, and both run great and cool the room down quickly.

Bad weather kept me from installing my AC. The reason is, after I install it, I have some seams I’ll have to caulk and rain would wash it away. We have a couple gorgeous days coming up and I’ll install both ACs then.
