I'm at work, waiting to go home.

Hi guys, what's up today?

I decided to build myself a small dedicated workbench just for the belt grinder and bench grinder today and see how inexpensively I could do it. Since I have spent a small fortune on guns and knives over the last couple of weeks I gotta save somewhere...LOL. Anyway, I almost have my "on the cheap" workbench together for a grand total of $23. It is 34" tall by 49" wide and 27" deep. Built it out of four 2x4s and a 27"x49" piece of 3/4" counter top that I got from a builder's wholesale shop we have here locally. They buy left over pieces of new and scrap lumber from large construction projects and then resale it at a discount.

While I have without a doubt reassured myself that my carpentry skills absolutely suck, I do have a very useable workbench for $23.

If any of you have one of these building material resale places in your town, they are a great place to buy stuff that most people do not know about.

I'm just about ready to go work up a new sheath for my new NMFBM - YEAH'BABY !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

tom, you make knives also? is it a hobby for you?

Hey Tolly, let's see some pics.

I'll try to post some pics a little later this evening.

No, I just make sheaths for my knives that don't come with them. They aren't as pretty as what Jeff or Dwayne make, but they are rugged and serviceable. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It helps me save money for MORE knives!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I hear yu tom. my knives ride in some cheap sheaths from other knives to save money. I am sure yours are nicer than mine. I have two sheaths from professionals but I still need to get one from jeff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I DO enjoy making my own sheaths, and it keeps me out of trouble! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> When I was at the Blade Atlanta show I went to the tables where the guy was selling cheap knives and I bought a couple just for their sheaths, so I could carry my Sarsquatch and later my Busse custom bowie. I eventually bought a couple of sheaths from Dwayne (Armorall Leather) which he had extras, so that I had better quality sheaths for my top-quality blades. He and Jeff both do excellent work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hello, again. Is anyone around?

i may be. considering working out, since i skipped today, or going to sleep. it really is a tough decision.

leg extensions, curls, and squats. possibly lunges and stiff dead lifts. eh, no lunges.

I really enjoyed leg work outs. I had to give up weightlifting.

If you do it, I hope you enjoy.
