PaulN/KS:
It's a "Law of The Universe" that plumbing jobs, once started, require at least 2 or more trips to the hardware store.
(And I used to be a plumber... ::))
Pappy:
I like that law, ;) that's the way it always seems to work out for me that's for sure. Had a great weekend, lots of rain for most of it but did get some hunting in, seen a few deer, no shots but still seeing tons of turkey, stopped counting at over 100 hens withsome jakes mixed in and 7 long beards, seems they are everywhere when you can't hunt them. It's pretty slow this time of year at the cabin, everyone busy getting ready for Christmas but did have a few friends drop by. :) I spent most of the weekend working on knives in between trying to hunt, guess yall are getting tired of seeing my knife work but that's about all that's going on for me other that hunting and ant killing nothing to get pictures of. ??? ;) :) :) Here are a couple of knives I finished up this weekend. First one and old saw blade and the 2nd another old file, 1 with elk antler scales and the other hidden tang with deer leg bone handle. :)

Hidden tang ready for finish and stand of old barn wood/deer antler shed and deer toe for the stop. :)

Got the scale knife finished up also with stand, old barn wood, deer antler shed and deer toe bone for a stop. All the antlers and stops are glued and also pinned with a brass pin going through the board and Antler and stops so the don't pop loose if hit. ;)They both turned out pretty nice and should make a good gift for someone. ;)

Finely got my Turkey fan/feet and beard dries and cleaned up, ready to mount on something, haven't decided yet :) Mark dropped by for a little bow work and also get some arrows tuned for the bow he made for his daughter in law for Christmas . Had a few other buddies drop by so got a little time around the fire just shooting the bull, very relaxing weekend for me. Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. ;) :)
