Well, I'm not sure at the moment. I have drifted away from woodworking projects except for little things (jigs). I just bought an arbor press and got it mounted on to the workbench so it is solid. I hope to get started making Kydex holsters and knife sheaths. I have several new knives that I hope to give at Christmas with a custom made sheath. My shop has all the tools (band saw, sander, grinder/buffer, etc.) to do the finishing work. And a press for installing the eyelets. Unfortunately, I don't have any woodworking plans for gifts this year.

Good to see you back, Mike! Show us those Kydex holsters and knife sheaths when you get a chance.

Will do. I am working on the arbor press, making a few mods. I have a breakover bar, I plan to cut down a little to give more leverage. I 3d printed a couple of jaws for my vise so I can clamp the ram in and drill a vertical 3/8 in hole about 1 1/4 inches deep. That will allow the die for setting the eyelets to fit in. Slowly but surely. The old workbench is still providing all the clamping options I need for anything I am working on. Still very proud that I built it years ago.
