Steve Sells Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I had not thought of that, Since I replace my 14 inch chop saw blades when they get too small, I have a free source of those blades for the table saw as I replace them when they are about 6 or 7 inches, and that's the size this Old Craftsmen table saw ($20 at yard sale last summer) uses. not only will that assist the angles, but depth as well Frosty is da Man !

Frosty Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Aw Pshaw. . . Credit Alexander Weygers for the general idea, I just tweaked it a mite. Just be aware the motor isn't going to like the abrasive dust much so expect it to die sooner than normal. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnptc Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 based on that you could use a chop saw and a stop as well............keep those ideas coming !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 when i said old craftsmen i should have said VERY OLD, it does not have a motor. Just a pulley with a belt to remote motor dust is not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 thank you all, I see at least 4 distinct colors already. also it seems this blade has been spoken for by an IFI member.

Quenchcrack Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Steve, How do you establish the provenance for the origin of the nickel in the blade? Since meteoric origins are highly unique the blade should command a premium price just to offset the cost of raw materials. The skillful incorporation of celestial materials should add even more but how do you prove it is of celestial origins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andgott Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Beautiful blade- made that much more interesting knowing the origins of the material. I have been watching this thread intently- It is a subject that I am very interested in! We tried to find someone to make Damascus wedding bands w/meteorite, with no luck... I'd have rather had a knife, though -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought that occurs to me immediately is to polish a left over piece and place it in a setting in the pommel. But without an analyis of a "certified third party" to compaire it to some of the orignal we have to rely on Steve's reputation for impeccable honesty.
