Thank you

Man, I like that last one!

No, but that is a cool knife!

Welcome, nice work!

Lockback, Ironwood and AEB-L. Used the waterjet, CAD modeling, milling machine, lathe, surface grinder at school

Some handled axe heads and sheath for a lockback

Kephart

Some recent ones

Air hardening stainless seems to be less picky about how long you hold it at max temp than simple carbon steels (you don't need to worry about grain growth as much). I do a few AEB-L knives at a time, "quenched" one by one.

Very nice work!

Looks great, as always! Metal shavings in a handle material, though? That sounds like a bad idea.

You might try stopping at 320 and going to a 3M gator/trizact belt, if you haven't already.

I know Evenheat makes programmable controllers that you can use your phone for. Probably be able to make a shelf yourself with a couple firebricks from the hardware/fireplace store. Sorry I can't help more, good luck.

Welcome, looks good!

My two cents: You are likely to get ripped off. China is currently persecuting Muslims, Christians, and any freedom loving people who will not adopt communist ideology and practices. Limiting financial support of the regime is always a good idea. Obviously neither the history of the machine...
