Howdy. Here is my latest creation. One of the guys in the office was retiring and I have taken to making small knives as a parting gift. He bumped up his retirement date 3 weeks so what started as a casual project turned into a rush project. Luckily this stuff worked pretty quickly. I love this stuff! I got some good sized chunk as the Searcher's Club silent auction in LA. If you have not been I highly recommend it. They do a lot of field trips and bring back a lot of rock for the silent auction.

To seek out new rocks, new civilizations. To boldly go where other people have found cool rocks!

Send like it would be fiddly work, making sure it fits perfectly.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
