Title: Measures and knife
Post by: B.Barker on November 15, 2021, 04:26:51 AM: I don't get to work much in the shop these days. I babysit my two grandbabies four days a week most of the time. However I did manage to get a few items made up in the last couple weeks. I need to get going on a couple of rifles before the year is over. The folding knife isn't a copy but was inspired by an 1850's folder I seen somewhere on the net.

Post by: B.Barker on November 22, 2021, 06:59:49 AM: Which measure? I may have another adjustable one or two made before Christmas.

Either one of the adjustable ones, really. That second one posted by Marcruger is awesome. Couldn't see.the first as clearly, but I'm sure it's also great.

Post by: B.Barker on November 24, 2021, 04:09:34 AM: Tnlonghunter the first one didn't have the new nocked off of it and it bounced to much sun light for a good photo. It looks just like Marc's but no engraving. I'm trying to get a couple more done before Christmas.

Is there a waiting list?

Cool! Let me know. Sounds like you can sell a few!

Post by: B.Barker on November 25, 2021, 04:27:32 AM: I usually don't take orders on the measures any more. I try to make a dozen or so every year.

Well, if you ever have one unspoken for, please keep me in mind.
