  1. Its not what the users do with the blades, its HOW the blades can fail, You really should pop over to the knife section and read a bit there to understand more
  2. and depending on where in the world he is located, he may or may not have the correct power for this, so add in the cost of transformers and phase converters, which can cost more than just getting a new motor
  3. speaking of M-16s, my son went shooting over the weekend with friends, and the range had a few full autos available for rent. So he presented his credit card and fired a few different models, and he loved shooting the old Thompson, so in a short time went threw a few drums on that, Boy was he shocked later when he saw the credit card charge for the ammo he went through , $130
  4. We have a compound bow beside our bed, better range than a knife has
  5. I edited them for you, you're fine. Just remember to read the rules you agreed to follow when you joined
  6. To be honest , last I saw you Thomas, you looked more like Gimli from LoTR
  7. When I was forging outside, I used a large rubermaid tote to place over the anvil to keep it dry
  8. 4th degree burns are continuous burning like Nukes or chemicals that keep burning you up after the initial contact
  9. maybe in 3 years for me. will decide when it gets closer. Congrats Thomas
  10. easier to update after a change of address as well
  11. I have made more than a few blades from various meteorites but that is not the way to go about it
  12. not to mention a very expensive experiment; the cost of Campo is in dollars per OZ
  13. why does your tea need stirring?
  14. Wife says Forward Air does not do International you should call DHL (She is F.A. dispatcher)
  15. Get rid of that cobbled up furnace breaker, get a real 2 pole. they wont always trip as a pair the way it is rigged, leaving the electrician a surprise when he thinks it is tripped and start to work on it Steve, who happens to be a Master Electrician for 34 years IBEW 305
  16. If you want auto start, you will also need a power transfer switch to prevent it putting out power to the system when the main power returns to service, plus its a major NO-NO to just plug it in with out protecting the linemen working on the lines due to your generated power backfeeding the lines
  17. Honestly you are better to remove the 2 prong plug and replace that with the 3 prong female
  18. the first temper is done immediately after the quench to prevent cracking from the stress of the quench. We temper again later, as in waiting until the next day or so, to temper the retained austenite that converted into martensite on its own (which is brittle ) during the wait between cycles, I see no reason to quench more than once, nor tempering more than twice
  19. I should add that unless you have very specialized software running, your IP address is visible also, loudly telling anyone that knows how to look where you are posting from
  20. Sorry guys but we have a complaint from PETA about the alligators and dragons...
  21. If you fear posting the name of the State you live in is a security problem, then perhaps the internet is not for you
