Nice action. A bit too tense for my liking but that's only me but it looks like you got a perfect lockup there. Good job!

Dale,

Thank you for your kind works, I'm glad you like the file work and spike. I learned that file pattern in an article of Blade Magazine by Walley Hayes. Simple technique the way he explains the step by step process. Ok so you didn't drive a train, learning from experienced engineers must have been awesome, you can't put a price tag on that one. What kind of engineering were you involved in?

I am looking forward to seeing your finished SS 2.0 micarta and all, I hope my work motivates you to finish yours.

My Super Squirt 2.0 is finished..  You can view demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuOMQgV-dGw

@ Dan .. Really SWEET  filework !!!!

 

I intend to use a slab of the micarta as a fake backspine.

 

That filework on the brass spring holder is simply ... SWEET !!!

So Dale, you drove a train? You were the conductor?  How long ago?  Steam or diesel?  ;-)  Wow thats neat. Wayne Goddard once used a train hitch as an anvil, it's in his $50.00 Knife Shop book. I used train track for anvil and railroad spikes I made knives out of. I bet those folks have to be some what mechanical.

File work finished, suposed to be vine pattern, looks a bit crowded, anyway..

Today I plan to finish the SS 2.0, this morning I started filework on spine/spring rod holder:

To drive the table on my 1920 Norton tool cutter...

Dale,

You are one very resourceful guy, I am impressed how you were able to cut the relief in the blade with the ceramic drill, we both acomplished the same thing and you can do it with minimal tooling. That is remarkable to me.

Yes Dale,

I have made gears,   ;-)
