Good, glad to hear that.

I finally broke down and bought a utility bench to help with my bent rows. After using it for 2 weeks I wonder why I waited so long.

Have they started teaming up on you yet? It is about that time. I could teach them some fun things.

Welcome Very good choice in equipment. Looking forward to your build.

That elliptical is serious money! When I was looking to replace mine I was looking at that, precor, and sole. I would take that elliptical and set it for cardio hill climbing.

Congratulations!

No my elbows would not like that, 300 is a happy weight to maintain. This is a financial goal written on paper so the wife knows.

Carry on I do enjoy.

I know a couple who have had it done and feel the same as you do. So when I have to get readers the surgery will get done.

My issue with getting a Porsche is getting what I want and how much I am willing to spend. I would love to have one, but I need practical and dependability so it can be driven daily and on trips. In 2 years that could all change, you just never know.

Eye exam today and I was told I will need bifocals soon! What the hell, it maybe time to get eye surgery.

Since the night I sat in Aaron's loaner Lexus I have been window shopping for my f sport. I found it, but rather than buy it now I have set a goal that I must achieve before I will buy it.

Sweet!

When Levi is back at it I will let you guys know. He does have some knives to complete for others in Jan and Feb. So it may be a couple months plus he wants to take his journeymen test. That test consists of 5 knives per J Neilson's request then one knife will be put in a vise and bent to 45 deg. If it breaks or the metal tears he fails. If it bends nicely he passed.

No two knives will be the same.

Yes he does sell them. Each knife is per order or request. This is the last knife for this year. He needs to focus on his journeymen test. So it may be a little while until he is back to making knives for people. If you would like on I can ask him to make me one and send it to you when he gets back in it.

Finished product.

Thank you. I will check these links and send them to him. He is curious what you use and wanted to see as he is getting pretty damn good.

Sean/Matt what is the brand of knife or who makes the knives you guys use? Levi asked me so he can check them out.

I talked to Levi and he does use ceramic stones for final cleaning. A set I gave him that I use for cleaning die cutters Any how here is what I gave him https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Spyderco-4-Piece-Ceramic-File-Set-P513C138.aspx

He got his used from the same amish family he got the power hammer from. He has some money in the belts and treats them like gold.

He apprenticed under J Nelson for a couple weeks.

This is what his belt sander looks like. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DD0AL/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0000DD0AL&linkCode=as2&tag=bestprodtagf6834-20#

He uses a leather belt for final, but has several fine grit belts.
