More work completed

I got a new auto darkening welding helmet for my birthday. It has been a real joy having a good welding helmet again. I finished some more art pieces this month. It is amazing how much faster you can make stuff when you have the proper tools. Motivation also helps a lot when making stuff faster.

This is a Metal coat rack that I have been meaning to make.

It was designed to be hung on the wall at an angel. When at the right angle the holes are 16” on center. I have not measured in inches what the proper lift to the right side is, to hang it at 16” on center yet.

Here is a photo of a metal dog that my brother had me make for his girl friend. She named it Weldo. He is going to be photographed on his future travels.

Surfer man, was made for my brother.

My sister made this up for me for my birthday. She designed the out side of it for me. The paper inside is graph paper. She knows me well.

Here are some dancing men that I am trading my sister, for her to design another book for me.

Finished new knife

I know I know. I don’t update my blog nearly enough. Well I am updating it now.
I just finished a knife a few days ago, that a guy ordered from me. He wanted it for his dad for Christmas. I am very pleased with it. I did some tests on the edge before it finished it and I was very pleased with how well it held an edge. I hope his dad is as please with it as I am. Hehe.

I finished the handle with tung oil.

The handle is buffalo horn and walnut.
