Had a great Father's day weekend, fun at the Cabin and fun at home, hard to beat that.Had a good meeting and also had some time to shoot and some shop work done. Here are a few pictures. The tack hammer head you gifted me Pat, thanks, turned out nice. Got my latest knife finished and also Miss Joanie and Margaret Ann found an old gardening scoop in our pine thicket so I took it and cleaned it up and put on a new handle. :) Not sure how old it is or how long it has been there but it's been there a while for sure. :)

Tuned a new set of arrows for my latest Osage and also added an alligator skin grip off the one I killed in 2012.

BigA and GregB showed up with our new forge , looks good and work pretty good, we still have a few bugs to work out but I think it is going to be really nice when all finished. Chuck showed up with his latest knife work and someone brought me my trophy from the Howard Hill shoot, as you can see, can't seem to do better than Third. ??? Guess I need to work harder at it. ;) :) Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. :)

Pappy.  The forge looks great.  Is the inside coated with refractory cement?  It's hard to tell from the pictures.  The insulation needs to be coated with something to prevent the fibers from blowing out and causing lung problems.

Thanks Bob, I will have to let people guess what is is like your Turtle grip. ;) :) Yes Clint it has the insulation in first and ten covered with the special cement. We are taking out time trying to be sure it is cured before we really heat it up completely. Hope we get it right so it don't crack. :-\ . Headed to the farm later today but first I will hang out here for Margaret Ann Wednesday, also go some good news Sunday, Margaret Ann has a little Brother on the way, due in Early November!!!!!!!!  I told Beau and Christina they needed to plan the dates a little better so as not to interfere with the rut.  ??? ;) :)

Congrats on the future addition to the family. The grip looks great. Can't wait for a critique on the feel.
