Thanks for posting those videos, I have seen the other links but forget about youtube when it comes to metallurgy. Now I just need 40 or 50 hours... OP I would start with Kevin Cashen's page as he knows his stuff and its a good short primer. As for steel if you plan on heat treating in a forge...

I'll take it can pick it up and drop the cash off tomorrow can you pm me you number? Thanks

Good to hear your recovering well Scott. I enjoy hearing others who are as obsessed with knifemaking. Like we are all in a support group! Grizzly I just saw a photo of someone who mounted their grinder to an old barber's chair base. You could raise and lower it with a few presses of your foot...

I ordered my Evenheat from the bossdog but wanted the Bill Burke mod so had to call them directly. I found them pretty helpful since at first they had no idea what I was talking about and expected not to hear back, but they did actually call back and take care of me. Been real happy with it and...

Hey Fred how long do you think that five gallons will last you? I've always wondered that with kool mist style setups that don't recycle the liquid. Also do you happen to have any info on Pro-cut? I have two drill presses by them and I really like them but I can not find any information on...
