    I’m sorry to hear you are still sick, hopefully it not the virus. If it bronchitis it’s not good either.
    Most doctors want you to have an office visit because a lot more different illnesses than it can be than years ago.
    The clever is looking great.
    Breezy is such a good boy.
    Egg burger looks good.
    Have a blessed day and stay safe!

    You may have Covid, my friend. (sigh) My brother and several of his family members had it a 3-4 weeks ago. Glad to hear that you're going to try to get checked by a doctor today. Hopefully you can get something for congestion and that cough, regardless of the source.
    Enjoyed seeing your technique for keeping those holes in perfect alignment. Good to know about the clearance method you used to accommodate the epoxy. Both have applications in so many non-knife situations, too. Thanks!
    You've made me hungry again! Never thought about an egg burger. Super sized "Sausage Biscuit" and variants! 🙂
    Pray you're feeling better soon. Pray that Charly doesn't catch it, if contagious.
    God Bless. Godspeed in your trip for relief.

      @@tsx3214because you don’t know that they don’t fit until after you’ve mixed the very expensive two part epoxy. A 1/4 inch hole drilled through wood, is never 1/4. It’s a few thousands smaller just by nature of how a drill works. That and the fact that the pins are always a few thousands over 1/4 make for some very frustrating attempts at hammering oversize pins through undersized holes.

      @@onesky8647 what I found was when I got the epoxy mixed up, I would always have to take time to finesse each pin through handle, metal, then handle again and it took too much time. By reaming the holes after drilling them, I have very few issues getting everything to fit the first time, and the microscopic amount of space around the pin is filled with epoxy making an even more reliable handle.
