Podcast Introduction & World Series Distraction
00:00:16
Denis Tyrell
Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of the Triple T for Knife Makers podcast. I have my host who is glued to the TV watching game three of the World Series, but we'll we'll pry him away.
00:00:30
Denis Tyrell
Mr. Jared Sandoval of olive Echo Blades will look up from his phone and say hello.
00:00:37
echo_blades
Hey, what's happening, everybody?
World Series Opinions & Toronto Experience
00:00:40
Denis Tyrell
I gotta know, are you cheering for the Blue Jays or the Dodgers?
00:00:45
echo_blades
Wow. i am so happy for all my Hothians that are getting to witness this right now.
00:00:49
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
00:00:51
echo_blades
But, you know, I have a ah hard take. I have some people that will be very mad at me. But my disdain for the San Francisco Giants leads me to be rooting for the Dodgers just because it makes them all sick.
00:00:58
Denis Tyrell
oh
00:01:06
echo_blades
So. um I was, I'm in a group chat with a couple of ah friends that I had season tickets with for years and years. And yesterday's thread was just go Canada, fuck LA, fuck everything. else Like, and I'm sitting there, I was like crickets. I didn't even respond. I didn't want to deal with all the, because as an ACE fan, the the Dodgers and us have a pretty shitty history. They, the whole Kirk Gibson fist pump grand slam off Eckersley and
00:01:37
Denis Tyrell
None of that makes any sense to me, but whatever.
00:01:38
echo_blades
So, yeah, it's all good. But, ah yeah, i I really don't give a shit. So that's kind of my my point. But I will take – I'll be happy for the Canadians if they win.
00:01:58
echo_blades
And then I'll be happy for the displeasure of all the dogs ah Giants fans if the Dodgers win. So, yeah.
00:02:09
Denis Tyrell
I was downtown Toronto the last time the Jays won, and it was pretty crazy. And that would have been, actually, they went back-to-back, so it would have been the first time, the first year that they won ever the World Series.
00:02:22
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:02:23
Denis Tyrell
And it was pretty crazy. I remember it took me like two hours to get home that night.
00:02:28
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:02:28
Denis Tyrell
But,
00:02:29
echo_blades
Yeah. World series are, are, are awesome.
Podcast Focus on Knife Making
00:02:31
echo_blades
I wouldn't know. I haven't, my team hasn't been in there since I was like nine. So, but, uh,
00:02:31
Denis Tyrell
well...
00:02:35
Denis Tyrell
I think baseball baseball in general is a snore fest, but whatever. It's so true.
00:02:40
echo_blades
This is not true. And neither is golf, but neither here nor there. Cause this is a hell of a series right now. Tied up one, one, they're in extra innings game three. The only thing gets better is game seven extra innings. So,
00:02:51
Denis Tyrell
All right. This is the triple T for knife makers, not the triple T for baseball players. Come on.
00:02:55
echo_blades
Hey, we can expand on all kinds of things here just cause you're like, you know, we're not talking about parallel barring. Doesn't mean that.
00:03:06
Denis Tyrell
Nothing wrong with parallel
00:03:07
echo_blades
I know, especially when you're an expert. And you walked on the moon and all those good things Dennis Terrell has done. What's up, everybody? Welcome to another Triple T podcast for Knife Makers.
00:03:19
echo_blades
I'm Dennis Terrell, the fifth man on the moon. Going to make a meteorite Damascus next to next Triple T.
00:03:25
Denis Tyrell
i don't think
00:03:29
Denis Tyrell
i don't think there's ever been a Canadian on the moon. i could be wrong. I'd have to Google that.
00:03:33
echo_blades
Well, you're American now.
00:03:34
Denis Tyrell
Has there been a Canadian on the moon?
00:03:35
echo_blades
You're American now, buddy. Don't forget that.
00:03:39
Denis Tyrell
Canadian on the moon.
00:03:43
echo_blades
Whitey's on the moon.
00:03:44
Denis Tyrell
No Canadian has landed on the moon. What did you say?
00:03:50
echo_blades
hey Whitey's on
Humor & Viral Videos Exchange
00:03:51
echo_blades
the moon. We can't eat down here, but Whitey's on the moon.
00:03:57
Denis Tyrell
i have I have seen that skit. So
00:04:01
echo_blades
Oh, that's good.
00:04:03
Denis Tyrell
so how you been? How how were your travels?
00:04:06
echo_blades
ah My travels were okay. um What is happening here?
00:04:14
echo_blades
Oh, okay. I was reading one of the notes here, the top one, and I'm not going to mess it up yet, but I was just like, I do not. Wait a minute.
00:04:24
echo_blades
ah just That has screwed me all up, dude.
00:04:27
Denis Tyrell
Now we got to talk about it.
00:04:28
echo_blades
yeah
00:04:30
Denis Tyrell
but
00:04:30
echo_blades
Oh, that's fucking great.
00:04:32
Denis Tyrell
So it was a couple of days ago. I knew Jared was traveling and I sent him, I don't even, I came across it on Instagram and it's just some guy holding up this Guinea pig that has these massive long hangy balls and he's shaking the Guinea pig back and forth and the balls are just swinging.
00:04:53
Denis Tyrell
So I sent it to Jared and I think there were, what was the response I got?
00:04:56
echo_blades
a
00:04:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. first you said yeah that's funny and then i kept texting and he goes stop texting i'm still watching it
00:05:01
echo_blades
i I'll look. because
00:05:09
echo_blades
I said I enjoyed that. And he goes, I knew you would, sicko.
00:05:11
Denis Tyrell
oh yes but yeah yeah
00:05:13
echo_blades
And I was like, stop texting me. I'm still watching it.
00:05:18
echo_blades
It was slow-mo, freaking ball bouncing.
00:05:22
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:05:22
echo_blades
ah But I was just reading that note there, and it was that freaking... crack me up. So cool.
00:05:29
Denis Tyrell
I
00:05:30
echo_blades
Uh, speaking of reels though, man, you are fucking fired from choosing music in a reel.
Forging Video & Damascus Knife Project
00:05:37
echo_blades
So, I mean, he does, he goes and he does this fantastic, uh, triple T, uh, video last week. If you haven't checked it out, you got to go see it. It was really good.
00:05:47
echo_blades
And, uh, they, he, he puts out a real kind of, you know, just saying that, I don't know, maybe it was like, Oh yeah.
00:05:50
Denis Tyrell
don't remember what the music was.
00:05:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was...
00:05:55
echo_blades
It's hot up in here. like And I was like, bro, I'm watching like a 70s porn video right now.
00:06:02
Denis Tyrell
It was about forging. It's supposed to be hot.
00:06:05
echo_blades
Oh, dude, it was like brownmp to come backck up the brown bramp but brown brown heat, fire, love. that was like, oh, oh, yes, it was, man.
00:06:15
Denis Tyrell
I don't think love was in it. Hey, this Damascus pattern is so sexy, you're just going to want to have your way with it.
00:06:18
echo_blades
You could tell.
00:06:23
echo_blades
It's so hot. Yeah. Yeah. Get it down. Hey, baby, I want you to du make my fire Damascus.
00:06:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, pull the berry white.
00:06:30
echo_blades
He don't eat my steel girl. Yeah. Oh, it was good. I was, I was like, whoa, I had to turn it down. i was probably in the airport. Like, you know, Jesus can't, can't explain that, but yeah, I,
00:06:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I got pretty good feedback on that video Yeah
00:06:46
echo_blades
No, that was a good feedback, but yeah, but do something. to but Oh yeah, baby.
00:06:54
Denis Tyrell
Sometimes I pick the video with actually the name of the song or like the title of the song
00:06:59
echo_blades
Yeah, that was a little suspect there, homie.
00:07:03
Denis Tyrell
Hey, it was ah but it was on the popular list, so you can't just accuse me of more
00:07:03
echo_blades
well best
00:07:08
echo_blades
Yeah. For fricking porn videos. Yeah. for Instagram after dark or something like that.
00:07:19
echo_blades
Oh man.
00:07:20
Denis Tyrell
Did you watch you watch the video?
00:07:22
echo_blades
I did watch the video. I did. and I, to to be honest, my only critique is that I actually wish it was longer.
00:07:25
Denis Tyrell
Good, good.
00:07:32
echo_blades
I felt like it was almost quasi rushed.
00:07:36
Denis Tyrell
really wow see i
00:07:37
echo_blades
This was like 14 minutes, right? So I was like, I could listened to that. Like it was a like, like a show. It was, it was a good conversation. Um, I not sure that there was much about, I guess that'll be in the build video of like, you know, exactly how, how it's kind of put together and done.
00:07:53
Denis Tyrell
yeah yeah it'll definitely be in the uh the big build video which
00:07:54
echo_blades
That wasn't explained in detail, but the overall concept and, um, everything else was, was really good. It was interesting. I enjoyed it.
00:08:06
Denis Tyrell
I will be working on tomorrow.
00:08:09
echo_blades
Nice.
00:08:09
Denis Tyrell
Well, I'm working on the build, not the video. But both, you know what i mean.
00:08:13
echo_blades
Still nice. Yeah.
00:08:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I'm really jazzed about that that feather bowie knife.
00:08:16
echo_blades
My comment remains the same.
00:08:20
Denis Tyrell
I'm really excited to get that one going.
00:08:24
echo_blades
Cool.
00:08:24
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to make something huge, probably a short sword out of the... short sword slash dagger out of the mosaic,
00:08:32
echo_blades
I laughed. I was like, shit should I a... a penny for every time you guys say compelled that, that was the, it was the compelling reel of all this.
00:08:41
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:08:41
echo_blades
Yeah, that was good. That was a good description. Compelling, compelling, compelling, compelling. No, it was good. It was good. um And I'm glad that, that you got to do it. And I enjoyed it.
00:08:54
Denis Tyrell
Cool. Yeah, hopefully with some good info for folks, I think I've already started to seeing other people do it. ah Spencer sent me a picture of a gradient knife that, uh, that he's working on.
00:09:06
Denis Tyrell
i think he ah he already put it on Facebook. So yeah, should be some, I expect in the next six to nine months, we're going to see a whole ton of projects using gradients.
Knife Maintenance & Baker Forge Promotion
00:09:18
Denis Tyrell
I bet you our friend, Koi Baker over at Baker Forge is going to do something with gradients, if I had to guess. So, yeah.
00:09:18
echo_blades
yeah
00:09:27
echo_blades
Oh.
00:09:29
Denis Tyrell

Check out their... their new stainless Damascus line, the Zeus stainless pattern is pretty, sorry guys, it's pretty much sold out, but check in next week and the following weeks and you're going to see some more stainless Damascus from the masters over at Baker Forge.
00:09:40
echo_blades
It is live.

Denis Tyrell
While you're there, pick up some gator piss, some grime reaper to get your clin your steel all clean, some gator piss to etch it, and then get some gator skin to protect it.

00:11:32
echo_blades
Yes. Exciting stuff. Finally here. Finally here. Congrats. A lot of work went into that drop.
00:11:37
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:11:39
echo_blades
So I'm super happy for him to do it and get have it be well received. But who thought it wouldn't be, right?
00:11:46
Denis Tyrell
Yep.
00:11:46
echo_blades
Nobody.
00:11:48
Denis Tyrell
Yep, it's nice have another option out there for stainless Damascus, because believe me, it is a bitch to make at home and costly.
00:11:56
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:11:59
Denis Tyrell
a Yeah, it's something I would not do very often, even knowing how to do it now. It's just daunting doing it. So, work yeah, go buy some at Baker Forge.
00:12:11
echo_blades
I agree.
00:12:13
Denis Tyrell
So, did you make it into the shop, or were you just, you know,
00:12:16
echo_blades
I know I did. I did make it into the shop. I had about a half day Sunday. um and I always intend to get in more in my mind. But ah yeah, I made some good progress. I got everything ready for.
00:12:35
echo_blades
for glue up on ah some handles and be wrapping up a couple of things here.
00:12:40
Denis Tyrell
You had those, you said three knives last week that were almost ready to go out. Are those the same three you're working on or what?
00:12:48
echo_blades
Yeah, I had a ah a OCD moment on two of them, and i i probably could have let them go out, but I actually was not happy with the the hand sanding, so I took them back. i actually... And I'm glad I did, because there was some... I did a lot of um back and forth from...
00:13:17
echo_blades
hand sanding to the disc grinder. And then I can't leave well enough alone. That's probably why it takes me so long to finish some
Knife Redo & Class Projects
00:13:23
echo_blades
stuff. But, and in the process of kind of learning new processes, I should say.
00:13:30
echo_blades
But um I ended up actually for the first time, i i took those or two of them back to 120 actually to on the hands.
00:13:41
Denis Tyrell
oh wow Oh, wow.
00:13:43
echo_blades
Cause yeah.
00:13:43
Denis Tyrell
120?
00:13:43
echo_blades
Cause I actually have some 120 paper.
00:13:44
Denis Tyrell
You mean on the grinder? Oh, you mean on paper.
00:13:46
echo_blades
No, no, no.
00:13:46
Denis Tyrell
Paper.
00:13:47
echo_blades
On paper.
00:13:47
Denis Tyrell
Wow.
00:13:48
echo_blades
And I just, cause there was some scratches like in, in the light. I was, you just checking them out and I was like, no, that's, you know, no, no, no. um So I went back to one 20 and which was, was good. Cause it took everything out.
00:14:06
echo_blades
All those like stubborn two 20 marks that were not coming out with the higher grits. And, um, it didn't take that long to, I mean, it took me a couple hours to do, uh, both of them again, but, um, that was good.
00:14:19
echo_blades
I'm happy with, with, with where they're at now. And, um, yep.
00:14:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well, good for you taking him back and doing your due diligence on
00:14:26
echo_blades
I did. And I thought about it cause I was like, yeah I said, I was going to get this done and then, you know, but but it sounds like I'm in the same spot, but I, I, I feel a whole lot better about where they're at. And, um,
00:14:37
Denis Tyrell
that's good.
00:14:37
echo_blades
Yeah, I think it's, you know quality control type of thing. You know, trying to take some pride in and what comes out and what's not. I mean, and I know who they're going to, and they would have been none the wiser, but I still just didn't feel good about it.
00:14:48
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:14:52
echo_blades
So.
00:14:53
Denis Tyrell
I used to have some 120 long time ago for exactly that. But I got a question for you. Have you been using those stones? Because I always forget i have those sanding stones.
00:15:05
Denis Tyrell
um And I almost never use them because they're in a drawer somewhere. Are you using them are those in your rotation?
00:15:10
echo_blades
I i did not use them on this one because i don't have a plunge. um I do use them when the knife has a plunge line because I find that I can get that one spot right before.
00:15:25
echo_blades
And ah the way I grind anyways is I tend to get a little ah angled in while I'm cutting in the plunge and I'll get a deep, some deep scratches in there and trying to hand-tend those things will fucking drive me nuts. And those, I think it's like a 400 that i use Um, and I, kind and I took it to the bandsaw and cut it at a 45.
00:15:46
echo_blades
So it's got kind of a little point. So that, that gets in there and, um, gets out that, that one scratch there, but I do use them there. And they're part of, uh, part of the deal. I did not use, I have not used them on the on, on the chef knives because I, I don't have a plunge line, so not really needed, but, um,
00:15:55
Denis Tyrell
Oh, good.
00:16:04
Denis Tyrell
yeah When I was in Minnesota, Kyle gave me the the little holder that goes into that reciprocating tool.
00:16:12
echo_blades
I'm interested in that.
00:16:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's because he did a demo on it and then i he gave me some and some stones.
00:16:14
echo_blades
I, I.
00:16:19
Denis Tyrell
I haven't actually had a chance to use them because I don't have one of those tools, but I do plan on trying it. It does look interesting for some uses.
00:16:24
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know. um Oh, that's good. I think, I think Noah's does, has done that. i don't know if he still does. Brent has, has that and he's used it a handful of times and I've only heard good things about the process, but.
00:16:42
echo_blades
um I don't have it. So um i'm I'm still running with the, the old sand shark and, and, and hand elbow grease for the, for those stones. But yeah, that was a Vagnino tip is when I bought them years and years ago.
00:16:57
Denis Tyrell
Right. Yeah. Same thing. I just, I, I, cause I saw them, i was talking to a student um and he was asking me questions about hand sanding and getting out deep scratches and plunge lines.
00:16:59
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:17:11
Denis Tyrell
And I, so and I told him about like, yeah, the plunge line trick you can, and then thought that, geez, I just, I am not bringing out those stones as much as I should.
00:17:20
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:17:23
Denis Tyrell
But yeah. um What did I do this week? Oh, oh well well, I had the class last weekend um and I finished up that Hamon fighter, I guess, whatever, or hunter.
00:17:39
echo_blades
I saw that.
00:17:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it came out nice.
00:17:41
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:17:41
Denis Tyrell
And I kind of left it more of a polished finish for the Hamon instead of like dark finish, which I kind of thought was cool. Yeah, I liked it.
00:17:49
echo_blades
Yeah. i don't I don't mean to cut you off, but you're talking about the stones.
00:17:51
Denis Tyrell
It was a
00:17:54
echo_blades
And if you haven't tried the stones, then you should go check out Maritime Knife Supply. ah Lawrence has a, I was checking out the site right now. um He's got quite a bit, a variety of of those stones that you can pick from to try different sizes, different lengths, different grids.
00:18:10
Denis Tyrell
Do
00:18:15
echo_blades
Some has some oil different kind of lubricants and stuff like that. But yeah, make sure you go check out Lawrence over there Maritime Knife Supply for all your knife making needs.
00:18:28
echo_blades
And yeah, tell them the boys at Triple T say what's up.
00:18:33
Denis Tyrell
it
00:18:35
echo_blades
amongst ah litany of other things. So he's got it all.
00:18:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, so um finished up that Hamon knife, which I was happy with. Then Thursday i had... an ex-colleague over for like that one day class.
00:18:52
Denis Tyrell
And um he made a little chef knife, which was cool. And I forged about i but seven inch chef knife out of W2, which I also did a jamon on.
00:19:07
Denis Tyrell
um Haven't finished that one out yet, but it's pretty close. Got to do the handle stuff on it. So im anxious to see how the Hamon turned out on that one. Hopefully as good as the other one.
00:19:19
echo_blades
Yeah, i was I was kind of laughing when I saw the the little hunter. I looked at it. um It took me a minute to realize it was a jamon. And I was like, this well if went to a mirror finish? Like, what what are you doing?
00:19:30
echo_blades
I was like judging the shit out of you for a second. And then I saw i saw the jamon. I was like, oh, okay. right, all right, all right.
00:19:35
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, no, believe me, I would not have done a jamon.
00:19:36
echo_blades
You get it fast.
00:19:38
Denis Tyrell
I mean, a mirror finish if it wasn't a jamon. It's not a mirror. It's like a i went to weak 3,000 and then buffed it.
00:19:50
echo_blades
Yeah, it it looked very shiny, and that's why I was...
00:19:51
Denis Tyrell
Actually, it's not buffed. It's polished with nuclear jamon polish.
00:19:56
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:58
Denis Tyrell
And the first time I'd used that, it actually works pretty good. Um, and then, so so I get an email Friday at like five o'clock, four o'clock, probably whatever afternoon on Friday.
00:20:15
Denis Tyrell
I remember, I remember I was saying, oh I'm glad I got nothing to do this weekend.
00:20:19
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:20:20
Denis Tyrell
So I get an email Friday from one of my previous students, Mike, who says, yeah, we're still on for for tomorrow? question mark I'm really looking forward to doing a new Damascus pattern.
00:20:34
Denis Tyrell
and i'm like and And I start to panic. and I'm like, oh, shit. And then I read through the email, and sure enough, we had booked the class for this past weekend, but I never put it in my calendar, which is like,
00:20:48
Denis Tyrell
total screw up on my part, but luckily I'm wasn't planning anything. And, I just had to prep some steel for the Damascus course. So, uh, yeah, had a Damascus class all weekend, which, uh, amazing that the pattern came out perfect.
00:21:04
Denis Tyrell
Like it came out like really, really well, probably one of the best student patterns I've, I've, um, I've had a student do, uh, just perfect alignment, perfect symmetry.
00:21:15
Denis Tyrell
it came out really, really good.
00:21:16
echo_blades
Nice. Cool.
00:21:17
Denis Tyrell
But, um,
00:21:19
echo_blades
That's why you weren't busting my balls on Sunday then.
00:21:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. that's That's why I wasn't posting your balls on Sunday.
00:21:24
echo_blades
i I was waiting for the text.
00:21:24
Denis Tyrell
so So today, unlike you, I was looking to not go in the shop because it's been like 19 days straight I've been in the shop.
00:21:26
echo_blades
so I was like... Nice.
00:21:34
echo_blades
Nice.
00:21:34
Denis Tyrell
but so
00:21:38
Denis Tyrell
So I was trying to take the day off, but I still managed to get in there for a couple hours. But yeah.
00:21:44
echo_blades
nice
00:21:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
Repairing Customer Knives
00:21:47
Denis Tyrell
mainly to just do some orders and fill some stuff. But, oh, and that Kumai folder. Speaking of having to fix some things, that Kumai folder, the one with the ironwood handle scales, you remember that one?
00:21:59
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:22:03
echo_blades
Yes.
00:22:03
Denis Tyrell
and It went to blade show.
00:22:03
echo_blades
It went to Blade Show. Yeah.
00:22:05
Denis Tyrell
Yay. Well, I opened it up and I looked at me. I was literally getting ready to just put it in the... in the knife case and send it off and and it has like a big smudge on the side of it like someone touched the blade with a greasy finger and i never cleaned it off and i probably haven't looked at it since blade show and now it's like i'll basically
00:22:27
echo_blades
And that's the one you had to etch a few times, right?
00:22:30
Denis Tyrell
It is the one I had to add to a few times.
00:22:31
echo_blades
Yeah, I remember that.
00:22:32
Denis Tyrell
So I'm not happy about having to do it again because redoing And I actually emailed the guy i'm saying it because I buffed it and it actually looks really cool.
00:22:34
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:22:43
Denis Tyrell
All shiny. ah Just the way that Damascus, that's actually a gradient Damascus. I just never really talked about it or published it then. But The gradient looks really cool, but he does want it in black, so I'll be working on copying that tomorrow.
00:22:59
echo_blades
okay
00:22:59
Denis Tyrell
But, yeah, having to fix that one and make sure it's all purdy before it goes out. So, yeah, that's kind of has been my life.
00:23:07
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:23:10
Denis Tyrell
um Yeah, I need a day off.
00:23:14
echo_blades
and Going into the 12th inning.
00:23:18
Denis Tyrell
12th? Wow.
00:23:19
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:23:19
Denis Tyrell
Wow.
00:23:21
echo_blades
um Yeah. Well, that's good. I'm glad you're giving yourself permission to It's quasi take a little break.
00:23:32
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:23:33
echo_blades
You just, you got, yeah you have to put you first sometimes. Okay.
00:23:37
Denis Tyrell
Yes. But, yeah, I kind of get it done. Actually, I'm anxious. I'm anxious to get back to the Bowie knife tomorrow, which is what I'm going to do the grinds on the Bowie knife tomorrow.
00:23:49
echo_blades
Cool.
00:23:50
Denis Tyrell
then...
00:23:50
echo_blades
I actually had a, had ah of the first knife come, come back to me. I sold a knife. Oh, don't know. eight, nine months ago or something like that.
00:24:01
echo_blades
And, uh, they brought it back and he says, Oh yeah. What, what the, the real deal was, is that I did, um, uh, it was one of the first knives that I put in the the custom tin from a Pelican paste.
00:24:19
echo_blades
So if you're looking for some, um, some premium wax, go check out
00:24:20
Denis Tyrell
Oh, cool.
00:24:25
echo_blades
ah Travis Haynes over at Pelican Paste. ah He has all the wax that you need. Hard wax, soft wax, Pelican oil, hand saw soap, and the cast iron seasoning butter knot.
00:24:36
echo_blades
um One of the cool things that he does is sells it in multiple sizes and you can get some custom tins with your uh, logo lasered on it that you can include with your knife orders. And, and I did that.
00:24:50
echo_blades
So, um, you should do the same. And, uh, while you're at it, filling up the cart, can use a discount code triple T 10 for 10% off that purchase there. Um, but the, those tins, uh, in addition to uh, your custom logo on the backside, there's some, um, instructions and like good,
00:25:14
echo_blades
people that don't read instructions, this guy didn't. So he hands me this knife and it's got like, it's really blotchy. It's not like, it's not like ah patina at all because it's stainless.
00:25:27
echo_blades
um But it's got some like weird blotches, you know, kind of on the blade on the blade.
00:25:31
Denis Tyrell
On the blade or on the handle? Yeah.
00:25:34
echo_blades
And I'm like, what do you what, you know, what what have you been doing? You know, like, And he goes, oh, no, he goes, oh, I think this is the wax. And then, like, i'm I'm kind of tripping. Like, I don't know if I should be using it with the, you know, with these spots all over it and stuff.
00:25:49
echo_blades
And I'm like, well, the wax is food safe. You're good, dude. Like, you know, I'm like, how are you putting it on? And he's like, and then how much are you putting it on? he goes, I haven't put that much. But he's like, every every time I use it, I put it on.
00:26:01
echo_blades
I'm like, well, that's probably a little little overkill. um
00:26:04
Denis Tyrell
Especially on a stainless knife.
00:26:05
echo_blades
But, yeah. And, uh, but i said, well, how are you putting on? He's like, Oh, I just put my finger in it. And I kind of rub it in with my finger.
00:26:16
echo_blades
I'm like, well, that's probably what you got is you're doing visually thinking that you're getting it all rubbed in, but you're probably getting a little bit of it caked on on certain spots and then, you know, all over. So, and then it dries and you have these little, you know, kind of spots on it and stuff. So I was like,
00:26:34
echo_blades
yeah I was like, I don't know mean you you you know. You probably use a heat gun. Those things will come right out. and i was like and Then he's like, yeah it's it's kind of dull. I'm like, I shouldn't.
00:26:45
echo_blades
i mean If you've been using it daily for you know nine months or something like that. but He's like, i don't I don't use it that often. and so I go and i and I look at it. and i'm like yeah I check the edge. I'm like, but this fucking thing is still sharp as shit. I was laughing because I was like,
00:27:02
echo_blades
I did the dragon across the the thumbnail.
00:27:06
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
00:27:06
echo_blades
It took everything, every bit of power that I had not to take this guy's kitchen knife that he's bought already in his head and fucking shave my arm with it to show him.
00:27:18
echo_blades
ah I don't know why, but I was like overly compelled to do it, you know, like just to show him like this shit still it's, you know, the edge is still there.
00:27:29
echo_blades
And but i I explained to him that I wasn't going to do that. And so I said, I'll take it back. I'll just I'll i'll clean it up and I'll touch up the edge and give it a little spa treatment.
00:27:41
echo_blades
I'm like, that's part of the service and what you paid for. So happy to do it. I thought that was it was pretty funny. And I was looking at it and I was like, it's a nice knife.
00:27:53
echo_blades
It's a nice knife.
00:27:53
Denis Tyrell
good
00:27:55
echo_blades
I would have.
00:27:55
Denis Tyrell
it's It's good to get a knife back that you did like nine months ago and think, yeah, it's a nice knife.
00:27:55
echo_blades
ah Yeah,
00:28:00
Denis Tyrell
It's not like, it's a piece crap. I've gotten so much better since then. So that's good.
00:28:03
echo_blades
yeah well, I mean, the the the handle was a little chunky to to to today. I probably would have taken that down a little bit, but it's still.
00:28:15
echo_blades
I don't, it was nothing wrong with it. Like said, it just my preferences as things develop, you know? I think it was just probably a thicker set and um I didn't, I didn't thin it down as much as I probably should at the time. But yeah.
00:28:29
echo_blades
So, but other than that, I was like, yeah, it wasn't, I didn't like go, o you know, which was, it was just definitely a good thing.
00:28:37
Denis Tyrell
Good.
00:28:38
echo_blades
So.
00:28:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, when Mike was here Thursday, he brought the last knife that he bought, which was only like eight months ago or something like that. And the hebrew I told him to bring in and I'd sharpen it.
00:28:52
Denis Tyrell
i think I did two passes on now like 600 and it was already razor sharp, so I didn't really have to do much to it, but it was in good shape.
00:29:02
echo_blades
Yeah, I guess this one's called the cow cutter because, yeah, when he he had bought a whole cow and was he's still working his way through it.
00:29:04
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I remember the cow cutter.
00:29:11
echo_blades
And I was asking, what are you what are you doing with it? You know, he's like, oh, I normally just cut the things. He's like, oh, i'm getting getting on bones. and And I was like, oh, shit. Like, you never know.
00:29:22
echo_blades
Like, I was like, I just just so you know, like, it'll cut joints and and get through some stuff. But like, it's not a deal. Don't be chopping that.
00:29:31
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's not a cleaver.
00:29:32
echo_blades
That edge is super fucking thin, you know? So you you can chip it if you're doing that. And he's like, no, no, I'm not doing that. So I checked it out. it was It's all good.
00:29:40
Denis Tyrell
Good, good.
00:29:41
echo_blades
But yeah, it was cool. What was I going to say? Or did I
Engineering Job Fair Challenges
00:29:49
echo_blades
cut you off? Sorry.
00:29:50
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:29:52
echo_blades
Yeah, so i got I got back from Washington on Friday night. It was a kind of a quick trip, but it was jam-packed. a lot of, i don't get much time with these guys. Like I talked to them on teams and, you know, I'm in contact with them all the time, but you know, there's no substitute for face-to-face with, with, I think there's like eight, eight guys over there. So just kind of reiterating some plans and progresses and stuff that we put into place and get to FaceTime with people, but we're,
00:30:29
echo_blades
we were getting extremely busy. So we're trying to do some scheduling of, of projects and whatnot. Um, and then we did this, uh, so we're, we're currently looking to expand our personnel and, and, uh, there's it, our industry is, um, kind of, I don't know how the high tech stuff is, right. But there, you know, um,
00:30:53
echo_blades
Engineers could be a dime a dozen for you with a you know large pool of people to pick from, but sprinklers is pretty specialized and predominantly you're going to have good engineers that are with the experience.
00:31:08
echo_blades
um I call them the unicorn. um One that can just, you can hire for for a decent wage and they can plug in and play and can start you know doing work right away.
00:31:20
echo_blades
Um, so it's hard to to find people cause the ones that are out looking are either been fired or, or, you know, have, have that, you know, extensive resume of experience that, uh, none with any lengthy periods of time.
00:31:32
echo_blades
Uh, but we're, we're starting to explore, um, uh, green guys. Um, cause we have, uh, a pretty good process to, to get them integrated in.
00:31:44
echo_blades
So, uh, in addition to like,
00:31:45
Denis Tyrell
This is like college grads, like what do you mean?
00:31:47
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:31:47
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:31:48
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. yeah Somebody with some engineering aptitude. That's one thing that that, that facility has is they have every, all of those engineers had, have degrees and mechanical engineering or some, something or other, which, you know, a guy like me doesn't have shit.
00:32:04
echo_blades
So, but long story short, we went to a university and we did a job fair and was,
00:32:11
Denis Tyrell
I used to love doing those.
00:32:13
echo_blades
ah And I have never done one and I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. Like my expectations, if I'm going into any situations, like I ah really try to lower my expectations to just allow myself to experience things.
00:32:26
echo_blades
the the deal you know without either being overly more so to protect myself from being overly disappointed with something that I've planned out in my mind that doesn't happen quite. So just reserved all that stuff.
00:32:44
echo_blades
But um yeah, what I ended up doing was talking to ah bunch of second or third year people that aren't available for hire. right um i learned that
00:32:54
Denis Tyrell
Right, that's usually what happens.
00:32:55
echo_blades
Yeah. So like, as I'm going to say this out loud, it sounds like duh, but you know, like it just, it you yeah you don't know what you, what you don't know. and a lot of people looking for internships, um which is not really conducive to what we're doing. You know, there's not a real um ah ROI return on investment for, you know, investing three months into somebody for them to go back to school for a year and then, you know,
00:33:19
Denis Tyrell
I shouldn't convince them to come back full time.
00:33:21
echo_blades
Yeah. So there's the seed planting type thing. And so we're, we're, we're working through that, but I will tell you what, I have never been in more conversations with, with people that were no doubt 1000% smarter than me, but absolutely dumb.
00:33:41
echo_blades
Like,
00:33:42
Denis Tyrell
Give me an example. I got to hear some anecdotes.
00:33:43
echo_blades
I am, I am, I am very, very, very, very like, I, it's like 50, 50, maybe 75, 25, but like, I'm concerned for like what kind of people we're going to be dealing with in 10, 15 years. Like that I had just like people come, like they go into a job fair and they look like they,
00:34:07
echo_blades
You know, their hair is all done. Like they got, they just woke up and like dragged their ass into the show and then pajamas and like no preparation. You know, like a lot of really weird questions, you know, like,
00:34:22
echo_blades
it was just, and then these really blank stairs. Like I think, cause there's a tool that I learned when I was young and it's, it's gotten me through a lot of ah professional situations and it's, you know, I mean, eye contact is everything, right?
00:34:35
echo_blades
So especially in a professional thing and, and a lot of people will have an issue with that. Right. So if I'm feeling in,
00:34:47
echo_blades
inferior in the, in the spot or inside in an interview or something like that. I just, I pick a spot on somebody's forehead or something like that. And I just stare right at that.
00:34:54
Denis Tyrell
I've used this technique.
00:34:55
echo_blades
Yeah. And I just stare at that and I don't break, you know, and, and, 90% of the time, the other people are going to look away because you look like you're burning a hole right through their soul, you know?
00:35:08
echo_blades
ah But these guys were just like... It's like they knew something like that, but it was it was just like completely blank. like you know And then they were just asking... like ah too many weird questions for me to even like to, to recall right now. But, uh, um, it was just an interesting experience. And like, i don't know if I'm, I'm optimistic about the future or just completely saddened by it. So, um,
00:35:34
Denis Tyrell
I remember i i used to ask the I used to ask a very simple question. I mean, among other questions, but i in interviews, I would ask a question.
00:35:47
Denis Tyrell
It's between you and another candidate. And I'm going to think of a number between one and 10, and i'm going to ask each of you, and whoever gets closest is going to win the job.
00:36:00
Denis Tyrell
If the other guy goes first... Or if you go first, which number are you going to pick? Okay.
00:36:10
echo_blades
Okay.
00:36:12
Denis Tyrell
So what's your answer?
00:36:15
echo_blades
Five.
00:36:16
Denis Tyrell
Five. So if the other guy picks five, what are you going to pick?
00:36:22
echo_blades
Four.
00:36:24
Denis Tyrell
Four. Okay. It's not the best answer, but and the best answer is actually six.
00:36:27
echo_blades
Okay.
00:36:28
Denis Tyrell
But um so I had a guy and it's all...
00:36:31
echo_blades
Well, I know you, you're, you're picking one because you're, you think you're number one.
00:36:34
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:36:36
echo_blades
No.
00:36:39
echo_blades
I was going to save everybody from the poo-poo joke number two.
00:36:43
Denis Tyrell
it's all about problem solving and and the thinking through it. And sometimes someone will say, like, if you said four, I'd say, why did you pick four? And they'd say, oh, well, I want to optimize my chances of get blah, blah, blah. Right. It's it's a number problem.
00:36:56
Denis Tyrell
And I had one guy that picked, he right off the bat, he goes, oh, I picked number seven. And I'm like, why would you pick number seven? and It's my favorite number. I was like,
00:37:07
Denis Tyrell
Um, yeah, okay. Uh, is that going to help you get the job? Is that going to be closest to the, I don't know, but it's just my, and he just fucking would not back down from picking seven.
00:37:19
Denis Tyrell
And I'm like, you're just a stubborn ass and there's no way I'm going to give you a job with me because I'm never going to get you to do what I want you to do.
00:37:27
Denis Tyrell
And, Silly things like that. um Anyway, that reminds me of back when I used to have to do recruiting at at colleges and things like that.
00:37:27
echo_blades
Huh?
00:37:37
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:37:38
Denis Tyrell
I used to love doing that.
00:37:39
echo_blades
Yeah. I, I didn't cause I don't like to yuck it up about, you know, the company cause they're, they're just walking up and they're like, so what are you doing? You know? And we're not a real, and a lot of mechanical engineers will make good,
00:37:54
echo_blades
designers, but it's not really what they've gone to school for, right? So we have to take their aptitude to to understand concepts and learn they're sharp people. They get hydraulics and, you know, and they, you most people that could, I mean, basically it's just, they, they go to school every day. They finish, you know, they committed to, to a four-year university there, know, there's doing basic things to show consistency and, and, and ah reliability and all that good stuff. But ah overall it's like, I can't, it's not very transferable, but there's,
00:38:28
echo_blades
there is some, it's better than just a job off the street. Right. You know, there, so, um, but yeah, I, overall I was like, uh, yeah, the the whole concept of that, I was pretty optimistic about maybe we were going to find somebody and then just to be completely devastated that there was a bunch of second and third year people like, you know, so, uh, in March though, we have one that's actually, uh,
00:38:32
Denis Tyrell
Sure.
00:38:52
Denis Tyrell
For graduates?
00:38:53
echo_blades
isolated for for mechanical engineering because there were other majors around there too. So, you know, talking to some computers there.
00:38:59
Denis Tyrell
Did you get like the occasional artsy come up and ask like someone who's an arts major?
00:39:02
echo_blades
Yeah, computer science guys were telling us how they want to integrate AI into design and get rid of all design. You know, like, it was but like, yeah, get the fuck out of here, dude. But it's the whole schmoozing about, you know, like, hey, what does my company do?
00:39:15
echo_blades
Well, we're this and this and this and this and this and this and this, you know, and I'm like, yeah, not my...
00:39:19
Denis Tyrell
When I was at oracle Oracle, we had our user conference every year and I always had to... Me and my guys, the guys that worked for me, had to man a booth and, you know, sit there and talk about our part of the software to random people that would come up.
00:39:37
Denis Tyrell
And you get to learn, you know, it's just like being at Blade Show, or you know, that you get to learn that same spiel because you've said it like five billion times over the weekend, like that kind of thing.
00:39:47
echo_blades
A hundred percent. I, that that's what I looked at the, the, the guy that was with me. And I go, I said, this is like basically what I do for knife making, except it's cool and interesting. Like I actually want to be there. don't want to be here.
00:40:02
echo_blades
is It's a little different, but.
00:40:05
Denis Tyrell
ah When I.
00:40:05
echo_blades
Yeah. I mean, not not to bore everybody with that with that nonsense, but that was, that was an interesting thing and something I had not ever partaken in. And, uh, you know, just, yeah just one of the things professionally you find yourself and you're always learning, always doing new stuff and yourself in positions, no matter what, you know, no matter how, how you, how far you've come or whatnot. But, uh, it was interesting to to say the least. And, um, so we'll, we'll do better, but, uh, I, uh,
00:40:33
echo_blades
I didn't get to hook up with ah with Steve Lockwood. We were throwing around, you know going at least getting dinner or something like that.
00:40:42
Denis Tyrell
Wait, it's Lockhart, right?
00:40:45
echo_blades
is the lock It is Lockhart. Why do I always call him Lockwood?
00:40:48
Denis Tyrell
so
00:40:49
Denis Tyrell
Lockwood is like the guy from clouded Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
00:40:49
echo_blades
He's in my phone is Lockwood.
00:40:50
echo_blades
I should probably change that.
00:40:53
Denis Tyrell
And
00:40:54
echo_blades
My bad, Steve. yeah I'm going to change your contact right now.
00:40:57
Denis Tyrell
i and the reason I know it's Lockhart, because his symbol is a lock with a heart.
00:41:01
echo_blades
Yeah, no, totally. I can see it right now. Yeah, feeling pretty dumb. Thanks, buddy.
00:41:07
Denis Tyrell
Oh, see, you so you screw up the ad read for Matt.
00:41:08
echo_blades
Well, actually, this is...
00:41:11
Denis Tyrell
You get Steve's name wrong. i might have to get a new co-host pretty soon and keep screwing things up.
00:41:18
echo_blades

00:41:22
Denis Tyrell
You wish.

The last night I had available, he's like, I'm like, dude, I'm whooped. Like it was, it was after that whole show thing. I'm like, I'm just going to call it. And he's like, yeah, it sounds good to me.
00:41:53
echo_blades
So next time I'll be back in December, I think is the next one to go.
00:41:57
Denis Tyrell

00:41:57
echo_blades
But, um,
00:42:07
Denis Tyrell
Whenever turkey season opens, the fall turkey season, which may have started already. It may start this Saturday, actually. i don't know.

00:46:33
Denis Tyrell
We were actually done early. ah couldn't believe it. We were done. Well, only because we we chose, after we ground off the cladding, after the tiling, we chose not to stretch it out anymore because the pattern was perfectly square.
00:46:50
Denis Tyrell
And the billet was kind of thick, but he's still going to do a bit of forging on it anyway. So we ended up doing some guard and handle work on a knife that he brought um for the rest, like really like the rest of the afternoon. I think we started at one.
00:47:03
Denis Tyrell
So we had a good four hours to do some guard and handle stuff. So it was good. Got his money worth out of that class for sure.

00:48:07
echo_blades
i don't know. Like, and it doesn't really ever zoom in too much, but it is literally two hands grabbing a fat beat and it should say,
00:48:13
Denis Tyrell
or is it like, is that like the elbow and it's like three arms holding each other? Is that what it is?
00:48:18
echo_blades
i don't know. I'm not looking at it again, but it should literally say two bastards on it. Cause it's fantastic. Yeah.
00:48:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that is the biggest, that would be the biggest fat peen out there.
00:48:30
echo_blades

echo_blades
We was out to the party till the car turned past six in the morning. are i always feel like a pirate when I say that.

00:49:44
echo_blades
But these, they had these, it was part of like a corporation. They had some people from Dublin come in and I remember talking to them and I was like 18, 19 to super young.

echo_blades
And I was like, oh, Ireland, like what the are you doing out here? And they're like, Oh, yeah. says, what are you doing when you're here? and Because they're like in Fremont and Silicon Valley. And there was like, oh, yeah, we was out to the party till the car six in the morning.

00:50:26
Denis Tyrell
Now that you've insulted our maker spotlight, but go ahead.
00:50:30
echo_blades
I don't believe I did. I just believe I shared a nice story of their culture. So um yeah, Kennard Coatlery came across my feed earlier and um I was just digging what he had, some ah really nice kitchen stuff. The the packaging in the first reel that he has, what caught my attention. I really liked the way he displayed these What are those called? Funyakis?
00:51:00
echo_blades
Funyakis?
00:51:00
Denis Tyrell
what i don't know what you're talking about
00:51:03
echo_blades
The type of style of knives in that first reel. Funyaki. Funyakis. Funyakis.
00:51:13
Denis Tyrell
i don't know where you're seeing that i see the first reel but okay hold on i'm on the the web version

00:51:37
Denis Tyrell
I like the box, especially.
00:51:37

So go give him a follow. Tell him what's up. and the boys at Triple T said, what up?
00:52:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, i'm sure I'm sure we butchered the name of that city because you know they the way their things are spelled is never the way they're pronounced.
00:52:06
echo_blades
And butchered his accent.
00:52:14
echo_blades
Donegal.
00:52:16
Denis Tyrell
It's probably some fucking ridiculous pronunciation of that city.
00:52:17
echo_blades
Donegal.
00:52:21
Denis Tyrell
So tell them to send us a voice message.
00:52:21

00:53:49
Denis Tyrell
You can see some of the some of the the posts about with the pipe tomahawks which are very cool um i don't know I've seen people smoke one of those pipe tomahawks before. and Not that I'm not a smoker, but it looks kind of cool.

00:54:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I've never made a... I've made axes and I've made hatchets. I've never made a tomahawk before. Certainly not one that nice. It's got some nice engraving and, of course, the whole pipe aspect of it. I have no clue how to do.
00:54:45
echo_blades
Bong in a blitz.
00:54:46
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:54:47
echo_blades
smoking a flapjack piping a all i heard was side hole
00:54:49
Denis Tyrell
I guess I've never even thought, I mean, obviously that, shut up, the handle is hollow and it must have some kind of side hole in it and you have to align the the actual tomahawk with it.
00:55:05
Denis Tyrell
I've never thought about how they would be made, but I wonder how strong they are since they do have a hole.
00:55:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, big black veins and side holes
00:55:22
echo_blades
A little white vein. That's what you ended with.
00:55:25
Denis Tyrell
That's what happens if you hold your pee too long you get a side hole Yeah, well I why this is a total and I know you have you have Something about your dogs on here.
00:55:28
echo_blades
Oh, geez.
00:55:31
echo_blades
Interesting.
00:55:40
Denis Tyrell
This is a good lead-in. I remember i had a dog who had um like his bowels obstructed so much, we didn't know, that he basically like ripped himself a new ass.
00:55:54
Denis Tyrell
And basically, out of like i am totally serious.
00:55:56
echo_blades
Stop it. What?
00:56:03
echo_blades
The Tower of the Canine in the Tarot House has a side hole?
00:56:07
Denis Tyrell
I'm totally serious. Literally had hole in the buttock area where he tore himself a new ass because he blew.
00:56:14
echo_blades
Oh my god.
00:56:19
Denis Tyrell
the The dog was constipated and couldn't shit. And I swear to God, tore himself a new ass. So
00:56:30
Denis Tyrell
tell your dog story now.
00:56:31
echo_blades
Why couldn't you have a cat that did that? So he could say had a new cat's ass.
00:56:37
Denis Tyrell
It was the mutt's butt.
00:56:40
echo_blades
Oh, geez. Goodness gracious. Yeah. Speaking of side holes, my dogs are apparently fucking Houdini's.
00:56:44
Denis Tyrell
We might have a title for this episode.
00:56:50
echo_blades
I came home tonight and my wife and son were in the backyard and And I was like, what are they doing? And I walk and they're just like having this really intense conversation. But apparently, oh, we get the fat towel out.
00:57:03
Denis Tyrell
That was toilet paper.
00:57:05
echo_blades
Oh, even worse. Right after the side ass talk.
00:57:10
Denis Tyrell
Hey, sometimes you gotta wipe.
00:57:12
echo_blades
and Goodness gracious. You should do it every time. um Yeah, apparently our our dogs, my my son got a call from our neighbor saying, are you guys out walking your dogs? Because We don't see you. And they're running around outside.
00:57:27
echo_blades
We go in the backyard and these fuckers have like tunneled under our fence. Like, and my dogs.
00:57:32
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean, your dogs?
00:57:35
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:57:36
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean have tunneled under, oh in running around in their backyard.
00:57:36
echo_blades
They, they, no, they were outside. They were out in the front yard, like just running crazy. And they're like, are you out with your dogs?
00:57:44
Denis Tyrell
Oh, in the front yard, okay.
00:57:46
echo_blades
And and we're like, no, there should be in the backyard. And apparently though, we walk walk back. So we, you come out of our, Into the backyard, we have sliding glass door and we have this gazebo thing and a outdoor furniture.
00:58:02
echo_blades
So on the other side of that, though, is the fence. And if they're back there, you really can't see. And i apparently haven't been back there in a while. So we walked behind the fucking couch and there's just a tunnel under the fence.
00:58:15
echo_blades
And they've been digging for quite a while, apparently. And somehow, I don't, like I guess said, i the tunnel, like the little guy could have probably got out of there, but our bigger pit bull would would not have been able to to get her fat assed.
00:58:30
Denis Tyrell
What's that TV show like about the, what is it? The the Dirty Dozen or whatever, where they dig the tunnel. Like that's, I have like that tune whistling in the back of my head with your dogs digging hole.
00:58:41
echo_blades
Yeah. Like, I mean, I know dogs dig and it's not like totally outlandish, but like, I still don't understand like where the whole, where they were digging, how they got out. Cause they would have to go into the neighbor's yard and then somehow get out of that yard to get outside.
00:58:54
echo_blades
So like they're fucking Houdini right now. They've done a mass escape and we we really can't figure it out right now.
00:59:00
Denis Tyrell
Which one's the ringleader?
00:59:00
echo_blades
So. um We think it's it's Sasha, the the pit.

00:59:28
echo_blades
that my old boss gave me that he he was sure it was hardenable steel and I could turn into a knife. And I'm just like, okay. So I threw them in the side of my yard and they've kind of just been there. So I propped those up so they can't get out there.
00:59:41
echo_blades
Cause oddly enough, there's a big asshole that they tunneled in, but there's not like they've spread the dirt out like evenly all throughout the backyard. Cause there's not like, you know, enough dirt to fill the hole up.
00:59:52
echo_blades
It's, it's, it's magic, dude.
00:59:53
Denis Tyrell

echo_blades
And then my son and I did, you know, we golfed this weekend and um I'm pretty proud of him, though, because we.
01:00:49
echo_blades
Some but one of the good things I like, one of the things I like about golf is the time that we're getting to spend together. And this weekend was one of those one of those weekends where i had a rough day.
01:01:03
echo_blades
one round and, it was, it was, it was pretty bad. And, um, but I, I try to reframe myself and throw in like a level 10 bitch fit. Like I want to, because I'm always, I'm on his ass every time, you know, he's, he starts doing it.
01:01:16
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
01:01:17
echo_blades
own So, so, uh, the next day he was kind of doing it and he was kind of pouting a little bit. And, I had, I kind of talked to him a little firmly, like, you know, we can't do this thing.
01:01:29
echo_blades
You can't have a bad, couple holes and then you're you're ready to quit. You know, like, it's just, this is not the way this works. And, um, it was a little more in depth than that, but, uh, anyways, we turned it around and, um, and we finished up the round. We were in the, in the, in the pro shop talking to some people and, ah apparently the, they're having a, uh, a club tournament this weekend.
01:01:50
echo_blades
So it's a two day tournament stroke play, no handicap, just go out there and shoot your best round. And he was invited to participate and immediately saw him, you know, all the anxiety and shit coming around. Like, I don't want to do it. and But I was trying to encourage him.
01:02:06
echo_blades
And then a couple hours later, he hit me up and he's like, Oh, I think I want to do it, dad. So he's going to go playing ah in a two day tournament this weekend.
01:02:13
Denis Tyrell

01:03:02
Denis Tyrell
