You know, I've got to work on this whole zipper first then pee sequence thing. I gotta go change my pants...again.
Well, I managed to schedule a couple of hours of "me" time in my retirement today to continue my sow's ear project. I used a propane burner instead of the cutting torch to heat treat the blades. They glowed red and melted the magnet to the touch so I called it good. Dropped them in a coffee can of Castrol 10W-40 and then shined them up again. I got ahead of myself with the push tang and JB Welded the handle on before I remembered, "Oh, yeah tempering…" I'll do that Wednesday morning when the kitchen is not monitored. Then I cut the scales for the full tang wrong, actually drilled the holes wrong. So I'll cut new scales tomorrow. Maybe after I do it 10,000 times I'll make one that's presentable.
