All About Pocket Knives

Just thought I'd post a few pics of the new shop, to show some of my tools and my favorite place to be, in my office chair behind my desk doing what I love most.

the main bench housing 2 grinders a buffer and a drill press.


a whole view, me in the background peeking over my desk


the white thing off the to right in the above picture in my lightbox, no room in the new house so I had to put it in the shop


the shelf containing my most used tools behind my desk some of the things incloude various ball peen hammers, the "magic" hammer, leather washers, larger files, needle files, guages, pliers, cutters, and some parts.


a couple views from behind my desk in my cozy little corner.

A fellers gotta have music to work to, good light and a tiny anvil makes a great base for peening pins, punching pins, or tailoring parts. punches, scribes and exacto knives in the block atop the radio. since there is no heat in my shop as of yet I keep all my oils, glues and epoxies in the aluminum dish to the right of the radio so I can pick it up on my way out the door when i'm done for the night.

MM you have too much stuff there to get in your way. Hows bout sending me most of it so you won't trip and fall over it?

Hey Duffy...
Looks like he may have too many hammers. Ask him to send you the little one that's NOT hanging upside down .


Kaleb, I figured you would use that little anvil. If I can find it, I have another one, if you can use it. It's cast iron and maybe just a hair bigger. Let me know.
Have you ever found a place to mount the machinist's vice?
Thanks for the pictures, looking forward to seeing more in the future. Your new shop is looking good and your work is outstanding.

Hey Bill, that'd be handy, that way I could bolt one down for heavier peening on larger knives, ever decide anything onthose classics? shoot me an email.

Glad to see a cartridge respirator in the shop instead of those worthless dust masks.

Keep up the good work.
