Hmm well I guess no one has this unit. That does not sound promising.

Rich you do some amazing work. Thanks for the share

You might look around and see if someone has a plasma cutter. Fast clean and easy. If your were close I would be glad to do it for you, but looks like a 12 hr drive might not be a good plan. Good luck

I have been talking to Sue at Sugar Creek and she has priced this unit with a digital controller for $850.00 shipped to my door. So I was wondering if anyone had used this unit and your thoughts. Thanks for the help in advance

If this was something I had developed or discovered on my own, I would happily share, but a knife maker up in Washington (Michael Rader) shared this technique with me, and since he's the one who figured it out, I feel like it wouldn't be right to post it on a public board without checking with him first. (Which I will do.) Very sorry to withhold, but I don't think I should out his trade secrets without first confirming that he doesn't mind.

Where is the tracking adjustment? I've found being able to shift the belt quite useful.

Where did you get the contact wheel?

Hello all

This is my 2x72 grinder. The build is still in progress. I need to finish the tool rest, a couple of tool bars, and wiring. I am always open to suggestions.

Hello all

I thought this Hardness Gauge would be an interesting project.

Some great work thanks for the share

Glen I use yellow ochre as well. The product does a great job for me.

Does anyone know what the maximum psi that can be run through flexible copper or rigid copper "plumbing lines"?  I want to add a section to my air lines to cool the air to aid in removing water from the air this coming summer.

The blades look good indeed! The handles are a bit clunky looking with the lovely curves on the blades putting more curves, "organic" looking handles would be super---and you're using really nice material for the handles too!

(I might try to make that finger curve on the blade able to open bottles for one for myself...but that's a dangerous thing mixing bottles and blades!)

Thought you might be able to use this as well.

Thanks Lyman and Chris

Nice looking wood that stabilized maple. Where did you get it?

Well its a bad picture. They have a mirror finish and I did not notice the pictures were that poor until after I had already gave them away for Christmas gifts. I will see if I can get my hands on one of them and get a better picture.

Great job on a folder. Thanks for the share

Hello all. Its has been a while since I have been in and I thought I would show my first attempts a knife making. I forged these three knives from O-1 steel. Handles are from stabilized maple. Thoughts on how to improve is always welcome.

Hey he may be smarter than we are he might find the goofy person that bids on it

I use a gut hook knife. I have been hunting for the past 30+ years. I find a hook very handy for hogs and deer. Yea a good sharp knife and a bit of caution any blade will get the job done. However a gut hook does speed things up.

Well I use a variation of the last post. A 5 gallon bucket with a piece of 2 inch tubing from the ground then bent over into the bucket sticking down a couple of inches. In the bottom of the bucket is poisoned corn. The rat or mouse is caught and killed and not allowed to get out and poison other predators in the area.

Check the wire and make sure it does not have any rust or dirt build up on it.

For you folks that have moved to Microsoft Vista. If you are using Zone Alarm Security Suite 7.1, Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, and BitDefender 10. It also blocks the 2008 version of the Jiangmin antivirus products. Then do not install Service Pack 1. This service pack will disable these programs the link below will provide you with more information. Other software is being affected as well a complete list is not available at this time.
