Your Picture of the day.

She normally sells it to few mom and pop places but this year, she has not made a batch. Our grandaughter is allergic to mosquito bites. Doctor prescription, but she say nothing works better than the bug butter.
She uses yarrow and makes a wound care too. ALL the knifemakers that know of it buys her out when we attend knife shows. It REALLY stops the bleeding and heals spooky quick. Its a blend of yarrow and bentonite clay. Not made enough to sell this year.

 

Bet there is a helluva market right here.

 

Well ,, next time she puts a batch together , ask her to offer up some for the guys here ,, I'm sure a few of us would grab up some of it . .

 

Nice day to be out!

Whoa, Just saw this picture. If you posted it the same day you were there. I was there as well. I musta missed ya. I was fishing Big Iron in the morning. then way over to the Gratiot in the afternoon.

 

Working on a short run of some sets. 22lr caliber matching small game knife. Gold plated. Special serial numbers. First 5 sets are spoken for.

 

I thought you might recognize it!!

 

This one has now moved to my engraving room. Mammoth ivory handle, the guard is 4140 and will have a bit of gold inlay before being color case hardened.

Another happy Sunshine Safety lamp.

 

I don't think I've fired "Rusty" up in five or six years. I think the pump cup is still made from an oiled cardboard and plastic antifreeze jug. Fired right off on the fuel that was in it. Man that gave it to me said it had hung outside his trailer for ten years. The vines, mud dauber nests and rusted pump tube sure looked like it had been longer. We worked side by side in the same shop for a couple decades. He watched me as I cleaned the rusty old 220E up at work, made a field expedient pump cup, ran a brake cylinder ball hone through the rusty pump tube, filled it with brake cleaner and scrounged some mantles from my camping stuff in the car. We had it going at work that afternoon. He loved his Fireball. Probably contributed to his early death. So this one is for Tom. He'd be pleased to see that old "Rusty" is still making light, and keeping his memory alive in my heart.
