@rfhirschfeld I remember a farmer on here arguing that he should be allowed to cut down all the trees at the edge of his field because they “steal” his water and when confronted with runoff, soil erosion and all the things downstream of that he basically said “I don’t give a shit.”

Save Indiana? Republicans have been running it for 25 years. The only way to save it is to vote against MAGA and Republicans.

These two petite chef knives, once finished, will go to the 2nd and 3rd generations of a single family, which I absolutely love. Both simple, high carbon, one getting local box elder, the other purple dyed local spalted maple.

Some more copper forging, this time a little 1/2 teaspoon and a cocktail stirring spoon. Got some kinks to work out to make more, but I think I will make some more!

[Ash Blæds @ashblaeds]

Also made this today: forged copper hair pin!

Another rehandle coming through. This with dyed maple burl bedded in ivory laminate with stainless and mosaic pins. What do you think, friends?
