Is there an easy way to get my mora knife as sharp as it came? Like out of the box it cut everything like butter. With some light sharpening on a tormek or with a stone, and stropping by hand I can get it to the point where it glides through paper or shaves the hair off my leg. Yet, these tests or the level to which I'm sharpening is inadequate.

So, I'm kinda wondering what I could be doing better, and what y'all do to get ultra sharp knifes.

Hi!

My sisters recently had a lil baby and he’s adorable!!

I gave them a cherry spoon I carved and he’s been playing with it which makes me really happy, unfortunately it broke. It was a super thin long stirring spoon, so not super surprising.

Anyways, she asked about repairing it and I said I’d bring some titebond mother’s day to fix it. But is that safe? Are there better glues for babies, like is titebond safe? Also are there any woods I should steer clear of? It’s made out of cherry which I think is ok, but I’ve got some walnut now and I’m not so sure about that species.

Anyways any and all baby safety related advice like finishes, wood species and glues would be greatly appreciated.

Just went for a ride wearing a long sleeve jersey and shorts thinking I'd warm up quickly, I mean it's spring right. After 15min I hit the "climb", warmed up, and figured I'd be just ducky. After the descent I was chilly again, but nearly halfway through the loop, so I figured I could power through. Not ten minutes later I was doing the math every 5min for how much was left if I maintained my rough average speed. When I got back home nearly shaking I hopped into a lukewarm shower till it felt lukewarm. When I then took my temp after, it was 94F. So, I spent the next hour sitting under heated blankets and throws watching Hacks slightly panicking wondering if it'd be silly to call 911. Only took one hour to get back to 97F, and now I know. Lesson learned. Sometimes it's better to leave warm than just a little cold.

TLDR; Went for a ride under prepared and ended up with mild hypothermia, all good now lesson learned

Anyways, if you'd be so kind, please share your most recent whoopsie to help me feel better about this silly mess up. Bonus if you've got a lesson/tip to share
