Larry gets another 4 day weekend. He is back in the knife shop this morning. He got his materials in so his goal is to complete 3 folders over the weekend. They are going to be absolutely gorgeous. He is making sure they are worth the wait. I can't wait to see them myself since I don't get to spend too much time in the shop because of dang allergies.
I did not blog yesterday. Tamera and I went to Tifton to visit with her friend who just had a baby boy.

Unless you have seen a knife maker construct a folding knife from beginning to end, you really can not understand why someone would spend so much money on one knife. It is truly a…

Larry enjoyed his 4 day weekend BUT it's back to the insurance job today. He took the afternoon off yesterday and I have shipping to do today. He has a supply shipment he is waiting on to finish the 3 he has framed out now. Sometimes this is hurry up and wait. Hopefully more pics will come soon!

Well, he said he was taking today off. BUT guess where Larry is this morning? Wait now....the first one does not count!

Some people go to the beach, some go to the mountains, some just put their feet up and watch TV when they have the luxury of a 4 day weekend. What does Larry do? Yep you guessed it, he goes to the knife shop. Thursday and Friday were really productive but early this morning he was up and back in there. That man really LOVES to make knives. Look for something new today or tomorrow!!
