What did you do today?

[Lazarus]

I made a start on 3 new knives today.

I have three billets prepped to start, and got this Dao blade slicer to this point.

Loaded some 130gn speer hot cors over 45gn of BM8208 for my new howa super lite after discovering all my other 308w ammo wouldn't chamber due to it being only neck sized. Here's hoping she shoots well.

Thanks, Deye.

I've put that bevel down to midline, so that when I match it on the other side I'll have a preliminary edge.
I've learned to do the scales and a trial fit up with only one side. Lose too much claret otherwise

Trapped a couple of foxes that had both dug my traps last week.

Can become a personal battle between us! One had dug a trap and then p!ssed on it

Geez Pete, hope the wheel turns sometime soon and some good news happens for a change!

Nice Lazarus, what are you using for the scales? Always wanted to try knife making, just another thing to add to the list of gunnas

Re-located my old prime mover, my mate has retired and sold his yard so I had to move my truck, upset an awful lot of spiders! It's now in a paddock on a mates farm, might make a good hide for knocking foxes?

Flew up to gold coast Tuesday. Mrs hasn't seen MIL for 11 months. MIL is 94yrs and just moved to a nursing home. So, it's daily visits and catch ups with other family members. Lunches, coffee shops, etc.
Today it was a walk along the river. MIL was happy.

Now it's beer and chips while the snags cook.

Did a bit of shopping yesterday and today with some birthday money, bought myself a stoney creek rain jacket and a moroka zero QR rifle sling for my pack(s). Looking forward to getting some of that weight off my shoulders!

You've obviously never tried any of the Varmint models.

I didn't buy a varmint rifle. I already have a heavy as weathetby vanguard 22-250 for that sort of thing. I bought a howa superlite. 5.74lb scoped and empty.
