Building knives had to stop for the afternoon. Had to go hang with some buddies. 24 Navy Seals (Most retired) paddled two six man canoes in the ocean from the keys to Ft. Pierce Seal Museum, a Memorial Day event. They started last Monday and arrived Sunday morning. Then a party at nearby Little Jim. A good time was had by all.

Just had to show the progress on this new design. The fit up of the ti bolster and African black wood came out great. ALL by hand using 90 degree grinder and various size mini wheels. Slow going dealing with the African black wood as it’s dust is a breathing, eye and skin irritant. 😖. My PPE attire looks like I’m working a crime scene.
