I want to post a photo of a knife that my nephew made. For a few weeks he's been hanging around my shop and picking up a few pointers from me. His name is Jacob Rhea and goes by "jake the snake" ,or something like that (these kids nowadays :rolleyes: ), here on the forum. I helped him with a few critical stages, but he made this knife and done a good job.

Wyatt(my stepson)and him are both 14 and doing real good at learning this stuff. He may be along a little later to post. Lin

He's got a good teacher!
Lin, I've been known as "Jake" to almost everybody since I was 7 or 8.
And still, people call me "Jake the Snake".
Your nephew and I would probably get along!
But, only if he likes girls.

Hi Lin, I can see your influence ther in the knife. That influence goes further than that though, you never know what effect this can have on how his life will turn out, I applaude you in taking the time for a young person nowdays. I think this is great and thank you for the post, just wish my kids thought I had something to teach them in my shop, oh well maybe one day I hope.
Talk to you later, Brad Singley
