I agree the oven thermometer is a must. I've found that my toaster oven maintains heat very well but the tempature presets are very wrong. My kitchen oven on the other hand has a mind of its own and varies temperatures at random I think I need a new one.

Howdy everyone! There's some nice stuff posted here! Here's one that I'm currently working on, Made from 1084. It's also the biggest size that I can fit in my toaster oven.

Fresh out of the last tempering cycle is one of my favorite times during the "making" process

This one is a lot like one of the first knives that I ever made. It just works a lot better though. 1084, orange g10, black g10 pins, kydex sheath with probably to many rivets*

It's gonna slay some letters for sure!

Completed my first knife of 2022 1084, Micarta scales. I'm not completely happy with how high I let my grind lines get but I feel like I'm getting more consistent.

Im back in the shop! Here's a few that I've been working on. Hopefully lots more to come

Thanks M.J.! It was a tad bit cooler this week 102°F and I was able to make some progress. Pro tip.. don't weld your motor plate upside down the work rest is backwards in the final photo I'm realizing now.. lol I wanted to do a more detailed build a long but it was too toasty, maybe next time I still have some finish welds left and some wiring but I'm pretty happy with this kit so far. It makes my 1x30 look like a toy

Got the uprights installed!

I needed an upgrade from my 1x30 but didn't have several thousand dollars to spend on something fully built I went for the gen 4 revolution kit that came with the precut to length tubing. I sourced the ironhorse 2hp 3 phase motor, Kbac-27d VFD, Wheelset. Everything to complete the build was $1400the heat got me beat.. But at least I got it started today!

Yes. I used a battery charger, stencil, salt water. To etch my makers mark in that photo. My bad, I should have been more clear Thank you Rojo! I've finished one of them so far.

Getting more crisp every time I mark a knife! Good old battery charger

Today was a busy day! Tomorrow I get to use my parks 50 quench oil for the first time! No more preheating canola

They are both kydex sheaths. Thank ya! My buddy asked for these and was pretty specific about what he wanted. *he even sent me the kydex

One of my favorite parts of making knives is taking photos of them when they are finished
