    I have not been active for awhile

    Since I have not been active on the forum for awhile, let me say welcome to all the new members. I went in to get my seventh stent in January and had my fifth heart attack while I was still in hospital. Thank God it was a small one. I am doing good now. I have even started to make some more sgianan dubh. I had 8 handles I had already carved out of hard wood I got in South America and Africa. I made blades out of 440C stainless for them. When the blades come back from heat treat I'll put them together. My wife keeps asking why I am making them, but I feel I have to keep doing something besides sitting in a chair all day. Things just take me longer now, but at 85 I can expect that. Yesterday I made two sets of hardware and cut and polished two stones for the tops. When I get them finished I'll get the young lad across the street to post a picture of them.
