Pappy:
Thanks Bob. :) Ya Pat they enjoy the dogs life around there, you are right, lots to get done but I feel sure we will get there sooner or later, at least we always have before. ;) :) We have our first open shoot Saturday March 15th, once we get through that it is all focused on 1 thing, The Classic. :)

Heading to the cabin for a few days, got a shoot Saturday and still have a few things to get in order for that and also have a young man coming down today that wants me to help him make a knife for his grand fathers old file, he is one of the older scouts that help out at the Classic and a fine young man, that should be fun. I may even get time to get my last hide stretched and dry, the weather is supposed to be bad with rain and storms, but again who knows. :-\ :) See yall Monday, hope you have a good one also. Life is Good. ;) :)

Had a great weekend, a little wet Saturday but Thursday and Friday was nice. Had a young man come down for me to help him make a knife from his Grand Dad's old file, this boy was in the scout troop that come down to camp and help us out during the Classic, good kid so I couldn't say no. :)We went right to work on it, I got it softened and laid out, To be honest I did a lot of the work but made sure he had plenty of hands on, just kept a close eye on him. :) He was a quick learner and pretty handy with his hands. Got a lot done Thursday, it was ready to temper and heat treat by Thursday evening. :)

We built a stand for it while it was in the oven Tempering after heat treating. Deer antler/deer leg bone at joint and barn wood from his Grand dad's old barn. Got the handle fitted and ready to glue up early Friday. :)
