The Cub Pocket Knife

I received an email from April. She is a Bear Den Leader for her son's Cub Scout pack. The pack is working on their whittling chip card. Part of the learning process is how to handle a pocket knife safely. April was looking for a wooden knife pattern to demonstrate with.

This would make a nice letter opener gift also. I included a few extra handle designs for you to use also.

This is an easy project that you can make out of scraps. The handle is pined together with 1/4" dowel. All parts are 1/4" thick. The knife can be sharpened to desired sharpness by sanding. I used maple for the blade because it sanded to a sharp edge well.

Nature Mini Clock

I'm back from vacation. We spent a few days traveling to three State parks in Indiana. The leaves were changing and the drive was beautiful. We spent a couple nights in Nashville Indiana. Nashville is a small artist and country music community in Brown county. The main street of Nashville is lined with small craft and art stores. Some are stocked with imported crafts but many are local craftsmen and women.

We also spent a couple nights at Clifty Falls State Park near Madison Indiana. We were there for a wedding but I managed to do a little sight seeing. There was a great little shop in downtown Madison that was filled with fantastic scroll saw projects. Unfortunately they were closed and I had to peek through the front window. I will have to make another trip up there and check out that shop when it is open.

It was nice to get away for a while and I still have a few days to recover before I have to go back to work.

As you can imagine I am way behind on email so please be patient and I'll get to as many as possible.
