Well Ed, consider this. Take you atypical bad day, remove any references to welders or filters and ad "took another chunk out of my finger with the belt grinder , had the blade come out of the vermiclite with a bent tip, discovered I had pounded scale into the blade and screwed up the plunge cuts AGAIN and had to throw the knife away" and that would be a TYPICAL day in the garage for me....I hope that one day, i can get to where you are as far as screw up frequency...
 As for your thin blade, you could always call it the patented Ed Fowler high performance trout filet knife

Here's my question...
Is thinking considered work and does it accomplish anything?

Thinking - Dreams
That is where it all starts, a little glimmer, a spark and the wheels start turning slowly at first, then one at a time it comes together. What I hate is when you come the apparent end of a dream you have won! Then were do you go? My dream ended when we did our DVD on forging for High Endurance Performance, I realized we had climbed Mt Everest, had no place to go. I was very lonely! Then a knife that was made in 1938 started her magic on me, she came to me at blade show 5 years ago, she called to me from a dealers table, came home with me and called to me over and over again for 5 years and a month ago picked me up and led me to more. The rest of the stuff we go through is merely entertainment while we dream! Already some who have seen the DVD have called, our dreams mix and I see more, dream more and find a new frontier. The challenge is to think, the challenge is to dream the challenge is to let it happen the challenge is to recognise the dream, to listen to her and share her blessing. __________________ Ed Fowler

I have a photo of her in the November issue of Blade on page 83.
It takes a little lookng to see what her maker put into her. She is very dynamic and it takes some real study to see what she is. __________________ Ed Fowler

The dream ended too soon,... after I realized it was a dream.

Row Row Row your boat
Gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily? Life is but a dream!

Ed,
It sounds to me like the siren song of the fire and anvil have worked their magic to keep you from the clutches of the dreaded rocks of retirement. Face it brother, it's in your blood and if you plan on sleeping through the night, you have to feel the fire and the hammer in your hand. That die was cast a long time ago. Forge on. There is more to be known. Besides, what are you going to do with all that ram's horn you have aging?
