Re: New York Knife jack
Wayne, I agree with you regarding the stamping. I have never seen one, pre 1931, that boldly stamped nor with the rounded corners. Never seen one with jigging like that either. The one thing that strikes me even more odd is the master blade. I suppose they may have had one like that but... The clip ...

Re: Two Hammers
Thanks guys. I thought the etch meant a New York knife. It's mighty snappy. Mickey, there may be a NY stamping further down the tang hidden by the bolster. Can't see it if there is. Thanks again. I believe the NYKC knife is an earlier version of the hammer brand logo. I know I read that some of the...

Hello All, In addition to pocket knives, I have always been interested in Older cars, Specifically the Corvair. Many people know the Corvair as doom and gloom from Mr. Ralph Nader.... ::td:: Anyway there is much more to be said about the car and its legacy. Does anyone here own a Turbocharged car to...

Winding Down
Hi Fellas, Another couple weekends ought to do it. Today we finished most of the upper trim work. The couple pics can give one a view of the small but valuable space in such a small cabinet. All that is left to do is upper compartment cover and lower base trim. Of course some touch up if necessary. ...

Re: Its Happening Again
Jerry, I did put a couple of positions in if someone was so inclined to move the shelves. However my real motivation was for aesthetics and how the simple system seems to match the period of useful designs. I ended up inverting the sides from these pics to face outward. The cabinet is so small there...

It's hard when your honest to a fault Mossdancer, ::disgust:: but then inner peace is worth it. I tend to think the same as Charlie's post.

Had some time today to work on the project. Choose the Trim for the top, and added some 1/4" Oak Scroll design. I planned this in my head all along but didn't know what the design should be. I opted for the same profil I used in the upper crest. eg. starting in the center the crown shape for th...

Re: Its Happening Again
Wlf,
Thanks for you comment. It is really a fun thing for me to do. Yes, heavily flavored with old cutlery, but then again old cutlery is really my passion. Creating cabinets like this bring me back to the old days, seems to fit very well for me. Almost no effort, and more like total fun.

Nice Sigs All around. Being a sig man myself here are a couple of my fav's.
