Tubby is building a knife

 His first knife. He had to do lots of sanding to clean it up. It was a blank that Patrick just had extra sitting in the shop. So he gave it to him. 

They worked on the start of the handle tonight. He is so proud! I am too. So big and learning a trade. For a few months he has been practicing sharpening knives. He is getting good enough that Grandma hired him on her last visit here. 

    He has focus and determination. It is nothing to see him sit for 20 or thirty minutes focused on sharpening.
