FIRST OF ALL I WISH TO THANK YOU ALL FOR POSTING YOUR IDEAS AND THOUGHTS, IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
I HAVE FINISHED THE LOGO AND IN THE INTERIM OF GETTING OUT THE CARD I REALLY WANTED(TIME INTENSIVE), I HAVE COMPLETED A CARD THAT HAS FAR SURPASSED MY "JUST FOR NOW" EXPECTATIONS.
THIS IS THE NEW CARD WE HAVE COME UP WITH..............






THANK YOU {uZa}MATTBAKER FOR THE TAGLINE "NEVER A DULL MOMENT".
i ASKED MY TECH GUY IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES THE STANDARD ROUND BULLETS AND HE SHOWED ME A LITANY OF ICONS. I REALLY LIKE THE SHEARS FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND VERY SUITABLE TO THE THEME.
THE WEBSITE WILL SOON BE UP AND RUNNING AND WILL FEATURE A VERY KEWL FLASH VID BUT IS ALSO TIME INTENSIVE. PICTURES WILL BE FIRST AND THEN THE FLASH VID.

HERE IS A SNEAK PEAK AT THE OTHER CARD THAT I AM CONSIDERING AS A SPECIAL HANDOUT TO THOSE WHO HAVE USED MY SERVICES ONCE. I WILL THEN HAVE A NUMBERED PUNCH OUT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BACKSIDE, SO WHEN THEY USE ME EACH TIME AFTER THE INITIAL SERVICE THEY WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT AND I WILL PUNCH THE NUMBER.

THIS IS THE CARD AS IT WILL BE HANDED OUT ONLY WITH A PIC OF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK ABOVE MY FEET(THE REAR OF THE TRUCK IS CUTOUT AND I STAND ON THE GROUND WHEN WORKING).......



THIS IS WHEN THE CARD IS OPENED............



AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT IF THE NEW CARD IS ANY INDICATION THIS WILL BE A STELLAR CARD ALSO.

AND THIS IS WHAT THE VAN LOOKED LIKE WHEN, BACK IN 2001, I SAT IN FRONT OF TRUE VALUE HARDWARE EVERY LAST WED OF THE MONTH...........



THANK YOU ALL AGAIN AND I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE NEWEST CARD AS WE FINISH IT AND THE WEBSITE.

INNOCENT HAS BEEN AFTER ME TO POST SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICS, SO HERE GOES.............

THIS KNIFE WAS FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF AN INHERITED TOOLBOX.


LIKE THE HANDLES ON THESE KNIVES.



GRANDMA BROUGHT THIS SET DIRECT FROM ENGLAND APPARENTLY.


THIS STAG HORN SET WAS PURCHASED AT A GARAGE SALE FOR $5 AND I CHARGED $10 FOR REPAIRING THE TIP, CLEANING AND SHARPENING.














MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT CLEANING THIS COOL OLD HANDMADE KNIFE.


THIS GUY WANTED THE BLADE EDGE TO BE 2" LONGER. VERY TOUGH AS THE BLADE AT THAT POINT IS OVER 3/8" THICK. A LOT OF GRINDING.


MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT SERRATIONS


SOME KNIVES FROM MY COMPETITION.


I GET SOME UNIQUE STUFF!


THIS HEAD I FOUND IN THE DIRT BURIED ABOUT 6" DEEP. IT WAS ALL RUSTY AND SCUNGY.

A CUSTOMER SAW IT AND SAID"HOW MUCH?" I PUT THE HANDLE IN AND HE HAD THE SHEATH MADE.


THIS WAS MY FIRST INTRODUCTION TO FILE KNIVES. A MAN & HIS NEPHEW MADE THIS AND ASKED ME TO SHARPEN IT. I GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY AND SHAPED, POLISHED AS WELL AS SHARPENED IT.


THAT INSPIRED ME TO EXPERIMENT WITH SOME OF MY OLD SAW BLADE FILES.


I REALLY ENJOYED WORKING ON THIS SAMURAI SWORD AS IT WAS ONLY 24" LONG WITH A TON OF NICKS IN THE EDGE.












I WAS THINKING IT TURNED OUT NICE ENOUGH I MIGHT USE IT FOR AN AD.


THIS RAILROAD SPIKE SKINNING KNIFE IS FROM THE SAME GUY WITH THE FILE KNIFE. AGAIN HE TURNED ME LOOSE ON THE FINISH AND WITH ALL THE EXPERIMENTING GRITS AND MEDIUMS I LIKE THE FINISHED PRODUCT.












THIS IS A WWII KNIFE. MADE BY A ORDINANCE SPECIALIST (3409th 2nd ARMY) STUCK IN A SMALL VILLAGE IN BELGIUM.


THE HANDLE IS MADE FROM BRASS SHELL CASINGS, LEATHER FROM A HORSE THEY HAD TO EAT(ALSO THE SHEATH), PLEXIGLASS FROM A DOWNED GERMAN ME109 FIGHTER.




DON;T KNOW WHAT THE HECK THIS DOES BUT I SHARPENED IT.


ALL MY GARDEN TOOLS ARE DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED ,SHARPENED, OILED AND REASSEMBLED.




THIS IS A VINE CUTTER FOR THE END OF SEASON AT ONE OF THE VINEYARDS IN THE AREA.
