On the bench. Saturday edition.

File folders, educated guesses, and a little “won’t work but it’s close.”

Good Saturday morning, and Happy April! There’s something about a brand-new, shiny month that always gets me kick-started and motivated. April’s a little weird because we tend to flush the first day with “April Fool’s” nonsense. I don’t do the April Fool’s crap–whether it’s aging and intolerance, or just that it’s stupid. Probably a little of both. Besides, we have the media, where every day is April Fool’s Day.

Closer. Not 100% spot-on, but pretty much there.

I’ve been making quite a few sheaths for the Buck 112 folder this past week, and I just started with the pattern making for the Buck 110. The first photo is of the first prototype which looks like something the dog got ‘hold of. That’s normal–or, at least in my world that’s normal. I use a lot of manila file folders, and dig in my scrap bin for pieces because the first couple efforts always get thrown away. The second photo is real close to what I’m after. I’ll trim a little here, and adjust a little there.

A few finished sheaths for the Buck 112 that will be shipping out on Monday alongside my Buck 110 prototype project that I hope to be producing a few of next week. Between holsters, of course.

That’s what we’re up to around here. The last photo shows a few finished for the Buck 112 that are shipping on Monday, and I plan to have more of those, along with a few for the Buck 110 in the upcoming week.

I’ve also been forgetting to mention my YouTube Channel. There’s only one video on it, and it’s not great, but I do plan to add more to it as time permits.
