Grand Torino

Hopefully he will be back with us soon.

Dear Lord, I pray for restraint tomorrow. Amen. Oh come on.....

Well that's classified so.....

I hope so.....I got a couple as well.

Signed in...got the email no problem.

Okay...let this old man go over there and see if he can figure it out. If I can I'll post a couple knives for sale tomorrow to get things rolling.

Awesome ....good deal!

Early 40's and to have a heart attack...that's a bit scary. Prayers to his family and friends.

Sounds good....he will be back and at 'em before you know it.

That right there is right purdy!!! Don't cut yourself.

Thanks so much I really like doing these farrier rasp blades.

Been there done that so I can relate. Get well soon Doug...we will be prayin' for you.

You gotta be happy to get out of there. Welcome back.

A real snowfall would be nice for a change.....but just one.

Not from anywhere near there but welcome to TGO.

I hear you....at 69 I look back and wonder why I did that.

I like it....if I only had room for it.

Anyone else feel like they are dying a slow death every time they go outside? I never signed up for 3 degrees with a wind chill of -8. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed in Arizona. Today is one of those times.

Saaaaaweeet! nice lookin' little family you have there.

Welcome to Tennessee and TGO. I have a couple of friends I correspond with down under and a Kiwi friend as well.

Man that's a beauty!!

Thanks for the kind words men.

These were made from farrier's rasps as requested by the customer. The first picture is what each blade started from. They all had Arizona Desert Ironwood handles with SS Loveless bolts as well as epoxy. The rasps had to be normalized, worked, then heat treated and tempered. The block is made from walnut. Thirteen pieces make up the block then glued, jointed, sanded, stained and finished.It took the better part of a month working part time to finish the set.

“Prosperity and happiness are my prayers for you all this Christmas season. May you end the year with a smile and start with hope for another year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ”
