That looks great! From the name I assume you forge welded rasps onto both ends with mild steel in the middle?

Sorry for the late response, but yup. 2 farriers rasps welded together and then shaped. No mild at all, all rasp, which makes it look cool.
 
CrossFit, yoga, paddleboarding in the summer, and jogging are my go-to activities. I love staying active and switching things up to keep it interesting. Right now, I’m checking out these chair yoga routines since it’s something completely new for me. It looks like a great low-impact way to stay flexible and work on core strength. Always open to trying new hobbies and experiences—who knows, maybe this will become a new favorite

I recently got back into collecting Pokémon cards...it gets expensive fast, just like gambling lol but I do love those shiny pieces of cardboard. I also dug out my old childhood cards and some of them are worth quite a lot these days. My "investment portfolio" so to speak :p

I love to ski, and have recently gotten into snowshoeing. As a birthday present, my wife took us to Bend, Oregon, where I got to ski Mt. Bachelor (awesome!), and the next day we took a good snowshoe hike at a spot on the road to Mt. Bachelor. It was a fun trip, including meeting up with a few couples we know who live there in Bend. There was good food and beer, and our drive home in a snowstorm added to the adventure.
 
I haven't gone skiing for about 10 years, use to a lot in my 20's
 
I spin yarn and make sour dough. In summer we like fishing, biking, and smoking - no, not that kind, like meat and pizza on the GMG!
 
GMG
Great Mega Gadget?

What are you spinning yarn on?
My great grandfather made spinning wheels to get through the depression.
My Grandfather, and great uncles continued the tradition for may years but none have been made since the mid to late 80's.
I have two wheels, one was my parents that I inherited, it was a wedding gift to them in 1953.
It is birds eye maple, the antique shade is probably worth a fair dollar .
