    Feathering adhesive leaking out.

    Anyone have any issues with the tube leaking? My last 2 tubes have leaked all over the drawer. The cap is always tight and it's in a temp controlled room. The leaks have both occurred on the bottom of the tube.

    What's going on in your shop?

    Finally got some time to spend in the shop. Three on the bench. A Lanny's clip slippy and 2 hidden release autos.

    Disc Grinder

    I made this attachment several years ago and put it away when I purchased a standalone unit. It's homemade and will bolt on to a standard 1 1/2" tooling arm. Comes with a Beaumont 9" beveled disc and 4" drive wheel. $225.00 shipped CONUS.

    Long time coming....

    It's tough sanding and filing with a torn rotator cuff but I finally got through it. Difficult to capture the actual colors. Timascus with Del Ealy nitre blued damascus. Now I just need to concentrate on my photography skills.

    NCCA Knife shows

    You have more than enough knives for a table. I brought 7 to the CT show last year. Sold all but 1 and got 2 orders. There is a very well known maker who does the shows and he brings 1 knife. It's all about getting your face out there so people will know who you are.

    NCCA Knife shows

    Slight setback

    Glad you are on the mend Ed. My visit to the doctor was pretty standard. Plenty of X-Rays that showed nothing. MRI being scheduled. Once the MRI and EMG is completed, they may have a better idea on what going on.

    Slight setback

    So I have a few on the bench that I'm trying to get done. Due to some physical issues, this is taking longer than expected. First of all, I am having issues with my shoulder. I have limited movement which makes it tough to do anything. In addition, Carpal Tunnel is kicking my butt. My hands are...

    Help ID'ing old folder

    I met Lhomond Jones at a show a while ago. He had a display of hundreds of Hobo knives. He is quite an authority on them. Shoot him an email at ljones@edoclogic.com. I'm sure he can supply some information on that knife.

    Another 5 blade stockman

    Thanks for the vote of confidence Don. I've tried in the past but was not satisfied with the results. I'll eventually give it another go. Craig, What tool do you use to make those straight square cuts in your bolsters and liners?
