Slightly Demented!


I don't exactly know what happened to this wrangler. Whether he's been up at the Line Camp too long, got a hold of some bad Chili, nursed a bottle of Pulque just a little too long or maybe this is what happens when you switch back to those fancy carving knives after experiencing the joys of the Utility knife! Whatever, he's definitely gone south and looks like someone I'd suggest staying away from.

I've had this old head laying on my workbench for the past few months and thought I'd try to express my feelings about this new Health Care legislation. Maybe this is what we'll all look like after a few years of that. I sure hope there's some mental benefits in that thing cause if it's messing with your grey cells as it seems to be with mine we're all going to need some just like this poor fella. I'm not sure what your feelings are on this upcoming change in something that will affect us all but it's really got me worried.

  2. Lynn,
    After reading your comments on this fella I had to tell you this story. I started following your blog awhile back and have really enjoyed carving along with the videos. When you got to the part about the utility knife I thought you have got to be kidding me ! However, I figured when in Rome...... I had a Stanley with the slide button and used it quite a bit and it quickley became the knife I reached for the most. Recently I was at a flea market and remembering what you had said I spotted a Stanley #199 fixed blade made the the ole USA utility knife ! Bought it for one dollar. It is without a doubt the best knife I own. I only hope that one day I can claim to have mastered it.
