Nice I like em , they make great novelty knives as well , give one a try !!

$18 ?? great score for sure !!!

great find indeed................do I also see a chunk of damascus chain in the makings also there in ye'ol pickup ??

hope to have it cleaned up today to have a better look Ivan , will post a pic for sure , not positive but I believe PW had that bell shape (right side of photo) on the screw housing, sorry if that's not the right terminology !!

stumbled onto this real nice 3'' vise yesterday............. there is a stamp of some kind on the bell side of the screw housing...........I wasn't to worried about the make, its a beauty and has been well maintained , hasn't seen much use , closes up tight, nice and even...........threw in 6 pairs of tongs with the vise, early christmas present !!

nicely done........

great piece Rhett !!

a buddy of mine down the road has one about 6 ft in diameter , keeps telling me to come take it !! that make a few blade for sure !!

Hey Forberg just over the hill I'm Kelowna, good to have you , check out Canadian Knifemaker Forum As well Rob

G2 epoxy and corby rivets for that extra piece of mind

I didnt know him but he's a blacksmith brother , thoughts and prayers to his family and friends

Looking good !! Look forward tomorrow pics

Wow very nice job !! He will be very pleased I'm sure

one other note Beth and Dodge......when I drill my tang holes I countersink them as well as you already know for a another place for the epoxy to go...........I also give the outside of the mosaic pin a real good scratching with some course grit like a 60 for epoxy bondness as well ( Bondness, ha ! not sure if that's a word or not but you get where I'm goin with it )...........a long setting epoxy is also better in my opinion...............as far as your mosaic design its whatever you can imagine

thanks Matt

Yes sorry forgot to mention Beth , I use full length through the handle. I make the pins in about 6'' sections and them cut according to handle width usually around an inch or so and then just enough extra for a light peen

here's a few samples of homemade.......many more if interested slightly peened just enough so you don't distort the mosaic pattern,( if you overdo by accident most will clean up when hand sand) I usually add an extra couple normal brass or stainless round stock or corby rivet for re-enforcment............hope this helps BCROB

saw your post Darren , thought I'd add a few I've done as well.......these are just rough cut at this point, used black enamel paint mixed with epoxy , very cheap to make , all supplies from your local hobby craft store.....

nice work Darren !! great pattern.......

at a glance I'm in with a Brooks as well with the thick heels, looks like one off mine sittin there

I like it !! how did you find working stabilized coco as apposed to just regular non stabilized coco ?

thats a great look , nicely done

I like the style and shape looks great, pretty sure you meant 400F and not C , you'd be much closer there..........nice work there rhitee
