Dick Sexstone Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I have forgotten how long ago this was….. it was a sword year at Ashokan…… the year Peter Johnson gave a talk at Ashokan….. I had been working on this seax ……months before the event I was pulling the handle off and this went flying ….. I heard it land ….I spent way too many hours looking for it and could have made a couple new ones in the time I wasted…. I gave up and the project got shelved… Yesterday I was looking for something else….I was wearing a head lamp to illuminate where I was looking …. My eyes swept over it and I looked back not believing what I saw …. There is was sitting on a roll of sandpaper under a shelf… right were it fell years ago… I suppose that is a sign that I now need to finish it….. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Gerber Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I recently found a micarta bolster that the polisher threw, cradled by a grinder belt hanging on the wall. Searched about 2 hours, made a new one, found it 6 months later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua States Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I think you must finish it now. The other day, the table saw threw an ironwood scale into the twilight zone. I spent an hour looking to no avail. Someday it will turn up “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.
