I carved for another 5 hours afterwards. By then my arm was warning me of a "walk-out".

So I'm on forced Sunday Evening rest. I've filed a protest. The Boss overruled it. I made the mistake of admitting that my L-4/5 back disc was also throwing flags. So I'm out til tomorrow morning.

That looks like a lot of work! Another five hours, I bet your arm screaming STOP! Will be another awesome knife when completed.

Thanks for showing the details,

WOW, great detail.

ps I only use drones

Think about around the world in 80 days, you may have to read the clif notes or [www.ebay.com]

Im just sayin that a 3 month build might work. Or

[www.ebay.com]

Both if you want to stay with the Jules Vern theme. I do know that you have a issue with a lot of repeat work, no 2 of your custom knifes are the same and you always are experimenting/improving/exploring, etc.

Hi Gary L

All of those ideas are welcome and pleasing. I can already see an Airship in my mind.

I enjoy representing the key components of stories into impossible shapes.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm ready for my last pass around both sides of Carving/Engraving now. There have been quite a few hours invested.

I
Wonder all the places this knife will reside over the next couple of hundred years. One thing I'm pretty certain of ... I don't think anyone will just toss it out. How about it? Interesting to consider.

Thanks!
