Re: Just saying Hi!

Welkom! It’s great to have you with us. I was about 450 km south east of you this summer. I’d hoped to make it to your area, but it didn’t work out. Beautiful part of the world.

Re: My Nirvana Experience

That’s awesome! Wow! I’m much like you. I can’t remember a time since my late teenage years that I haven’t had more than one job at a time. I have 8 years before I can retire and I’m already thinking about part time jobs! Gotta do something. A job a couple days a week in a knife or gun shop would be...

Re: Sharpening Wheel

I was thinking of making a table out of the wheel. Maybe I ought to see what it'd bring as it. I have no clue what it'd be worth. I’m a little thick! I get what you’re saying now. When you said make a sharpening table I was thinking of the frame. Using the wheel as a sharpening table, now that’s a ...

Re: Sharpening Wheel

So, I have this old wheel, actually came off our family farm, but it really has no bigtime sentimental value to me, it's mostly just an old stone - if it were in good shape maybe that'd be different, but it ain't. Anyway, any good ideas what to do with it? Didn't know if taking the wheel and making...
