ADT is a really good monitored system. My alarms have went off twice at my gunshop and both times an adt employee called to see if they needed to call the police within seconds of the alarm going off. Luckily both times were hail and heavy rain hitting the front glass door setting off my glass...

The best ones are the ones calling themselves knife makers at gunshows and when you look at their knives all they are is re-handled pakistan junk. See this from a guy at local gunshows all the time. He calls himself a knifemaker because he take pakistan made knives and puts deer horn handles...

Mostly gun work but wanting to get back to making knives again.

Since Feb. of 1989 however long that is.

I own a sporting goods store and I sponsor a Team NuCanoe Kayak member who is from Lee's Summit.

Thanks!

Hey all, Been making knives since 1989 so not new to knifemaking. I've just been out of the scene for awhile with my gunshop and business. Getting back to making knives again to add to the gunsmithing I do at my retail store in South Central Missouri. Later

You will need to square your table on the mill to the head. Mine is off by .03 over a 9" span. I cut a piece of steel 9" long, drilled and tapped 10/32" hole for my vise, mounted the vise and put a parrallell in the vise and shimmed under one end of the piece of steel to get the parrallel...

olli, welcome! Thank you for your input. Always nice to hear from the perspective of potential customers instead of just talking with other makers/vendors. The more I think about it, the more what you say makes sense. Most customers don't want to carry more than a few dollars change in...

Excel spreadsheets. Used to always use Quicken until I got another computer. I asked my CPA what he would like for me to use and he told me just to use simple Excel spreadsheets. He said that was all he uses for all of his records! If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me because...

Nice! I really like th damascus. Good job!

Ernie, Please take a moment before you start an LLC. Yes, they have their advantages, but they are costly to set up, costly and hard to maintain, and I have not been able to take any more deductions from my business than I did before I set it up in an LLC. Just one added expense to an LLC. is...
