I made a friend a damascus chef's knife with denim micarta handles made from black and blue jeans. I got a giant block of spalted maple burl from Washington state, made a cut and then went through the drying process. Once it was dry, I drilled two holes and epoxied two neodymium magnets in each hole and filled in with sawdust and epoxy. I sanded, making the magnetism stronger as I took off material, until the knife would stay put but not be difficult to remove from the knife block. I fixed it to a tiger maple base and added some rubber feet to make it non-slip. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/08/full-19470-248587-img_0152.jpg)

A reloading bench. I wanted something that looked real nice and would fit in with the house items. Well it turned out so nice the wife took it for a computer desk. It was stained and wood jointed , metal strap highlights, ect. Would take a pic and post it but the wife has so much junk on it i doubt you would see much lol. Back to the drawing board.

I thought it was an awesome ride, but certainly not for everyone. It would go anywhere in the mud as it weighed nothing. While not perfect, the wheelbase of the Mustang was only about 2in. shorter than the ‘67 Jeep Wagoneer donor chassis.
I drove it for several years and last I heard, it was parked in back of a lumberyard in Church Point, La.

There is some serious talent on this forum. I have built all manner of things, a house, every part of several Prevost bus conversions. All of the cabinets in a few different houses, gun racks, tables, desks, blinds, etc. But I think the coolest things have been the smaller things. A few of these for the wife and daughters, and a handful for friends and relatives ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/09/full-42624-251501-img_1727.jpg) The wife and daughters also each got a necklace ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/09/full-42624-251502-img_2682.jpg) For my daughter and first grandchild the day that she was adopted ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/09/full-42624-251509-pigs_carved_copy_2.jpg)
