One of my interests is real estate. If you are an investor, a potential investor, or a homeowner wanting to sell your home, I'll be adding more information for you in the next few weeks.
One of my best friends shares my interest in motorcycling. You can see his motorcycle links page here: Motorcycle Links David also asked me to mention his travel log. He's been motorcycling in Asia and Europe as well as across the United States.
An old friend of mine, knifemaker A.T. Barr, builds some of the finest folding knives you would want to own. All of his knives are meant to be carried and used. We met when A.T. lived in Texas through another friend and knifemaker named Chuck Dominy. A.T. has taught me a lot about knifemaking and the anatomy of folding knives. A.T. is a member of the Knifemakers Guild and is licensed to make folders that use the Spyderco hole for opening. I have three of his knives and like them all. Visit A.T. Barr's Custom Knives Site
Every so often in life you meet someone you know will be a long-time friend. However, it's rare to meet two at one time--especially if they are married. Larry and Gail Lunn are both excellent knifemakers. They both make high-end folding knives, and their preference is automatic knives. There are two types of automatics: single action and double action. (I didn't switch topics; we're still talking knives.) Gail is the only lady knifemaker who makes double-action automatic folders. Larry taught her everything she knows... he will tell you with a grin. Larry was a tool and die maker for decades, and this skill flowed right into custom knives. I spent a few days in his shop, and I can attest to his devotion to workmanship. I love to visit with them and drool over their less-expensive knives, which run only a couple of thousand or so. Gail has one called Purple Haze that will keep me buying lottery tickets. Visit Larry and Gail Lunn at www.lunnknives.com
Every so often I get a chance to be creative. I'll be adding an example, soon, of a small tile project that I did.
Another interest is handmade knives. I'll be adding some links, soon, to more of my favorite knifemakers, among others.
