Larry and Tina Pridgen's Blog – August 2013 Archive (7)

Back at it....

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.

New Knives SOON

Larry has been working diligently getting his next folders ready for handles.  His suppies still did not come yesterday but were promised to him TODAY!!  So you should see some mew things SOON!! 

During the week things are slow with the knifemaking.  In a perfect world we could afford insurance so that he could do this full time.  There are no jobs here.  We live in a very small town that is falling apart.  So we are working hard on making quality knives at an affordable price.  I…

Back at the mill today!

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!

4 Day Weekend

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!!
