Smoked Peppers, Hammers and Knives!
I am loving this fall weather. Night in the 50-60's and the days are hanging around in the low 80's. It has made being in the shop so much more comfortable. The forge heats it up a bit, but being able to step outside for a break is fantastic. The name of the game right now is knives, peppers and hammers!
Cooler days, more knives, and the Jam..
I have got to enjoy a cooler past two weeks here in the shop, which has been very nice. Among the usual knives and forging of things, pepper season is here. So while I manage orders, I'll be switching gears a bit as I harvest from the garden of doom, begin to can the annual batches jam and dry peppers for the seasoning.
American Rev. War trip, smoked peppers and grinding some knives.
Last weekend the family and I made the rounds to a few of the battlefields in the upcountry of SC that played an important part in the American Revolution.
B.T.K. and Slicer, plus some forging. DIY Tools and more...
Another B.T.K. is finished. This one was a special order, so it's already sold. This one was finished with OD G10 scales and wrapped in a kydex sheath.
Blacksmithing Class is next week, but some knives and Jam to leave you with.
The weekly blog post is here! I spend a lot of time in the shop and other places prepping for last night drop. I am blown away at the support shown by everyone this week! The post office trips where many and the shop time was plenty, thanks for a great week everyone!
