    Woo hoo!!! ❤❤❤ I hid that hefty piece of brass (and a couple other goodies) in one of Jimmy's shops when I first got to meet him at Maker Camp 2022. Wasn't sure he'd ever even find them. Haha! So cool to see it get used like this! Thanks Jimmy!

    Jimmy , I remember in your podcasts on serveral occasiobs over the years you have commented on how your knife making skills wasn't ready. After seeing you do this project, I for one think you have graduated in knife making abilities. Thank you again for continuing to show off your skills to all of us. 🙏
