Must get this complete!



I’m in the shop, working and hurting. There’s no coma between those last two, because there’s no choice. I’m doing both together, and that sets the pace. There have been some rough weeks lately. The meds that were doing the job before, are not up to the task recently. Sorry to mention it again, but it’s the valid reason behind my slow pace. But the final sign off on each step gives it my approval. Nothing slips by.



Kelly is helping me close out last year’s Christmas gifts. Two more go out. (Ring and Earring Keepers). Live Oak from BPS.



Minuteman / Liberty Case in German Silver (Nickel Silver). The color develops during an annealing process. It’s a random oxide pattern. The following steps will alter the pattern until final oxide removal and buffing. It’s work to get all detail from each Die. Especially in relatively hard Nickel.



Some final features will be added after examination under magnification.

These are a lot of work and a Worthy Project.

Looks great Gary
Forward progress is the main thing .

That sheath looks like a lot of effort too but I like it . Seems to be coming along nice .


Now to the point at hand CHRISTMAS GIFTS ? Oh no I’m sure they’ll understand . Nothing is better than a handmade gift .

Hopefully your pain is tolerable . I’m sorry you hafta deal with all that

Thanks
Kurt
