Hi guys! Been laying low for some time...

What's up guys! Been out of the loop for quite a while, although I've never failed to keep up with what's going on here, just figured under the circumstances that I was under that it was best to lay low.

I'M SO DONE WITH THAT THOUGH, SO WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY!!!

Rainwalker welcome back hope your situation ended as well as it could.

Thanks. Never easy when divorce is the issue and children are part of the equation, but I still have my youngest with me and I'm still close with my oldest so I guess I can't complain. It's just never easy going through this kinda stuff. Never thought I'd be here, but I am and I'm definitely ready to move onward and upward!

Good for you dog, moving forward is the best thing you can do. Well that and get some res-c therapy.

Good to see you back! You still going to be doing the leather work?

Howdy Jeff...really glad to see you back!!!

Jeff, REAL glad to see you "Up and At 'em again. Your works of art have been missed by everyone. Oh and thanks for the email!

Keep your head up and your hands to the leather (OK, the kydex too).

Yep', we need to get Jeff back to work making sheaths!

YUP, we gotta have something to spend our money on, and it might as well be works of art.

Jeff needs to post some pics of his work for the newer Dogs to see.

That would help in his "Comeback".

How about it Jeff?

Pictures are worth thousands of words!

That be true.

Me no speak with forked tongue!

Glad to see you back and I hope your life gets better and better every day!

Thanks guys!

Yea still been doing the sheath work, although I have to admit that I've had to slow the pace a bit due to added resonsibilities. Still trying to get caught up and when I do, I plan to continue making sheaths but probably at a little lower rate, life's just too short to work 7 days a week...

I'll look up a few pics of stuff I've done recently and try to post them soon.

Oh, here's one. I made these for my kids for Christmas.

Wow, those are beautiful.

Glad your back Jeff. I went thru it myself. Hardest thing I've gone thru but it does get better.

Yea, takes time, but your right it does get better.

Kinda funny, I saw a friend at an knife show last spring and was telling him my situation. Then I saw him roughly 6 months later and he asked me how things were going and I proceeded to tell him that it was a slow process... He acted completely surprised that I wasn't totally over it yet. I just looked at him and said, until you been there and done that, don't even try to imagine how long it takes to get over it.

howdy jeff!

Hey brother, good to see you back here. Wishing you and your family the best in this time of change. I'm sure I'll be in touch once the Basic 8 comes out

Here's a few more pieces of artwork that I get the pleasure of fondling regularly:

Howdy and Thanks.

Lookin forward to the Basic 8 myself!

Here's another pic that I just found.

Wow cool stuff!

And welcome back!

Jeff does FANTASTIC work!!!

Nice to see you here again Jeff!

Welcome back!

Went through it once myself, felt like the work was going to end. Then I got over it, met a GREAT woman and things got better than ever where before.

And never let work get in the way of family, never.

Jeff!
Nice to see you back here.

Glad to hear things are looking up.

And good to see, that you are still making some killer sheaths

Couldn't be happier with the ones I got from you

A very good quote. So true.

And Thanks guys, it's really good to be back, been missing the yard more and more lately.

Sorry to hear about the home front. Hope you and all involved get through ok. You'll be in my prayers!

Sorry to hear about the divorce too Jeff. But, glad it sounds like things are a bit on the mend and am happy to hear you are dialing down the work some!

Good to see you back Jeff!

Jeff will rise like the Phoenix.

Things are definitely moving onward and upward! Life is Good!







LOL! I like that, Thanks Tom!

Divorce, while painful, isn't always a bad thing. Good to see you back on here and posting, and maybe we'll see you at Blade!

You're welcome Jeff; I hoped you would like it!

Your right, definitely not a bad thing sometimes.

Haven't missed a Blade show in almost ten years now, I plan on making it this year too as well, one way or another.

Good...I'll be looking for you!

Look forward o seeing you too. Hopefully I'll get to stay for the induction dinner this year, I really missed it last year, but I couldn't miss my daughters graduation...

Yep', you don't want to miss the induction dinner. I hope that a lot of newer Dogs can make it as well; our family continues to grow!

For sure!

It will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to far away for me

It is not that far...
Just a short trip across the pond, and you are there.

I went last year, at it was a blast.

Plan on making it in 2015 again...

Jeff sorry to learn about your situation. Glad your back and I look forward to looking at your work, it has been awhile.

I'm just a newbie here but I'd just like to say welcome back and that it is good you are moving up and onward. Good for you, wish you all the best.

Also those sheaths you made look awesome !!!!! Since I just started recently with Busse/Kin knives, I got to say Sir you are like the Area 51 for sheaths. People talk about them, you may see a reported image of one of them. But you just can't really positively lock'em down :-)

Thanks guys. Yeah, life goes on one way or another, just gotta see the positive and reach for the stars. Or at least take the time to stop and look at them from time to time, LOL!

Don't look at them to long Jeff, you got sheaths to make!

That's cracking the leather whip!

LOL! Yep!!!

Jeff, are you accepting orders now? I may need to send you an email

Hey Tom, Whips are made of leather also. I wonder.....

On a limited basis, yes. It just depends, so feel free to check with me and I'll let you know if it's something I can help you out with or not.

Super-service!
