All About Pocket Knives

Great pic,Don. .....and a beautiful dog.

Great shot! She even got the bee in flight.

Sarah's uncle had a dog, much like that one only darker, that used to look at bumble bees just like that....then he would chomp 'em. Never saw him get stung.

Thank you very much, Dale.

Don, that's a beautiful and mezmerized dog.

Great looking crate you built there,Joe. ....you are a very talented Man.

I found these rusty M Klein pliers at an estate sale today.
They cleaned up nicely!
Cool stamp on the back, a bit work but cool!
I think these are lineman's pliers.

You are right Dave!
I haven't checked the price on these pliers yet, but I bet the current version is in the $35+ range here locally. Not bad for $3.

I bet you Guys are right....if not for the pliers at the end,I would just call them side cutters.
Very handy looking tool.

Thank you for the kind words, Johnnie. Those little, but time consuming projects really satisfying.

Not to be too bold here, but the box is sitting on a plant stand I made a few years ago with hand made peened copper nails.

Thanks.

That's some real fine work there, Joe! Those copper nails are a nice touch!

Thanks WB, I appreciate that.

Yep...those nails really make it stand out...awesome, Joe.

Looks like they're goin for around 29 Bucks Dale. Great find and fine job cleanin the rust off!

Joe -- Very nice. Are the copper nails structural or decorative only?

That sounds about right Perry. I did find the new 9 in. version for $34.95 on the M. Klein & Sons website.



Joe, those hand made peened copper nails really add a designer touch to that plant stand.
I am curious too if they are structural or decorative?





Some new old thing I picked up yesterday at the flea market; an old fashioned tack puller.
Pretty cool I thought & functional as well!

Johnnie, Jerry, and Dale, thanks for the response.
The nails are entirely structural.
I took pictures of a larger stand to show the nails and rivets a little better.
The nails were a problem at first. I was trying to sink a round copper "nail", actually, copper wire, into a accuratly sized predrilled hole.
It wouldn't hold in my trial pieces. I shrunk the hole size and hammered the wire square so the corners would take purchase of the predrilled hole. Sheese! Like the guy said when they built the Brooklyn Bridge; "All this just to get to Brooklyn".

I shrunk the hole size and hammered the wire square so the corners would take purchase of the predrilled hole.

That’s using your head for something other than a hat rack..
I can't let my Wife see this...or She will be coming home with copper wire and putting me to work.

Yesterday I picked up another much needed Knife Box.....I don't believe it to be a high dollar box,not marked in any type of way...but definitely fits my needs.

Looks like Harbor Freight to me but what the heck, it'll hold knives and look pretty decent while doing it.

Nothing wrong with that. I got one just like it!

Nice...

I like it alot Johnnie! Modeled after those older specialty tool chests of the 1920s. The knives will like sleepin in it too.

Thanks Fellas. ..I'm real happy with it.

Nice lookin' chest Johnnie! You should snap another pic when you get 'er all loaded up with knives!
