I have blogged about my husband several times. I’ve shown several sides of him.
(Yes, I like the Z; it’s how we roll.)
Now I am going to show you his mad skillz. Tom is a machinist by trade and can weld like nobody’s business. Metal is a medium he is very comfortable with. So here they are, his mad skillz.
He has been making knives since he was in high school, many moons ago. He had the sheath made by somebody Peyton had met through rodeo. This particular one happens to be a gift for……..Mr. Peanut. Get it?
Over the years, Tom has supplemented our income by making and selling these handcrafted, shiny, deer slicing, pieces of art. Several years I bought every Christmas present we gave with “knife money”. God is good and He’s anointed my husband to make knives. Our financial condition has improved significantly over the years, but Tom still enjoys making knives. Several of the boys have them and we gave Peyton’s to a good friend of his. It is so good to give Peyton’s things to people we know will use them and respect them and think of Peyton every time.
After the “Verseman” post the other day, I had to write something more macho about my husband. He is a good sport and I love every skilled side of him. He is a complete person, nothing missing, nothing broken, an anointed man of God.
Thank you Lord for my husband.

What a wonderful skill to have! I think that is awesome.
Wow! What a great craftsman Tom is!
Mr. Peanut was tickled to death with his knife and sheath. The "Mr. Peanut" was a big surprize to him and he loves it.
So what you are saying is Tom is anointed to make knives on a level the world is unfamiliar with all for the glory of God!! I LOVE that!
