That is what makes it so special. As a 50 year veteran of marriage, it is just that sort of "togetherness" that makes all things special. Congratulations on a job well done!

Just a run of the mill butcher knife 50 cents at goodwill, dremmel tool to shape, and some left over leather scrap. The bake your self clay is neat I am making a kilt pin next, it carves and sands like wood after baked.

Thanks for idea. I already have a "el-cheapo" blade (taken from a cheap knife). Instead of working with wood handle, I'll try clay.
