Still won't bring up the attachment. his is Harbor freight, right? Thanks, Dave

Got the HF tool ID number? I can't find it on their site. Thanks, Dave

I like this one a LOT! You do very high quality work :) Dave

very nice work, Geoff! Dave

The epoxy stuck to the wood side. My next try was using 100 grit in circles, wash with acetone then alcohol and coat both sides with contact cement. I let it dry then stuck the pieces together. That appears to be working. When I finish the knife will carry it for a couple months and see how it holds up for me. This knife will never be sold- this one is my learning curve :) Thanks for the ideas- Dave

This is one of my very top three all-time fav axes! You do nice work :) Dave

I am working on my first folder, a friction folder. I want to use thin copper under the zebrawood scales to add a little support. I fit, sanded with 220, and used my normal slow-set epoxy to join the copper and wood. 48 hours later I tested the join and the copper fell right on off. Must I use thicker copper that will be held in place by the screws or is there something that will bond the copper and wood? Thanks, Dave

Give it s try and report back with pics..... Dave

Yup x 2 Dave

Great work! I like it! Dave

Knives................... Dave

Another very nice knife, Geoff! I like it a lot. Dave

My favorite tools to make are the ones that do the job. Looks like those will work. Dave

Nice work! I like everything about it! I'd be proud! Dave

Mark Aspery maintains that a 2 lb hammer, swung twice as fast, delivers 4 times the force of a 4 pounder. Dave

You have a marketable produce there- if blacksmiths are willing to pay you know it is a hit. Fix the base, make more colors and get busy casting! Where can we see them for sale? Dave

Grant sold some that were actually made to hold the end of a spike. You might check Blacksmith supply and blacksmith depot. One of the two is selling Grant's line. Dave

Nuttin wrong with those, look pretty efficient to me. I bought a pair and then stumbled across a tutorial on making scrollers from tin snips. Those worked out great. You will get a ton of use from yours. They work out really well for bending. Dave

Looks like you did a great job AND had your mind working hard about what you wanted and how you would get there. I love quality tools that are shown well and are functional. That setup will probably last at least a couple hundred years and spark a little joy every time anyone looks at and/or uses it. Primo for sure. Thanks for sharing this! Dave

Nice batch of projects, all very well executed. I also checked out your blogs- very impressive. Loved your smithy, but I would need a much younger feller to shovel that walkway! Wish you weren't so far away- know that I would enjoy a visit to your place :) Thanks for posting these treasures! Dave

Nice knife, Geoff! But I would never expect less from you! Looking forward to late May :) Dave

Very fine job! Being married to a gardener, I am sue your mothers' day' recipient will lover hers, too :) Dave

You done good :) Every knife teaches me something new. When they stop teaching I will branch off into something else [radical Damascus, maybe]. Nice work! Dave

Patiently waiting for the youtube and explanations along with the very first piece done on you new hammer. Good Onya! Dave

Nice work! Prices are set by the maker for the maker.. Since none of us dothings the same wat there is no basis for comparison :) Dave
