Happy Thanksgiving Dogs

Good filet knives are in demand always! You, just provided excellence, on time! Beautiful!

Burl Source has some "very purple" dyed and stabilized wood. I just ordered a piece of buckeye burl from Mark.

Very neat, I have several blocks and slabs I have not been able to shape into scales because I know as I start to shape and contour for fit, the design (grain) is going to change. It is like............, well I can't explain it. That's why I'm still looking at several blocks and slabs, and...

Yeah, he mentioned his background was . His tools seemed to "get the job done", that is what I got from it! His choice of metals, doesn't mean he couldn't take "super steel" to the grinder and start some sssssserious, knives

My son said the same thing! (he just turned 15, so, I had to explain). My take on that, is that he knows his tools, and compromised safety for sake of the video. I didn't see any flesh and blood flying, so I guess chest ex rays would be needed to fully understand the risk!

I found this to be very interesting. This grinder looks like a flint stone machine, but when you see it operate, it is anything but! Take a look, and check it out in action on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DupWsV-iiys&feature=related It is very interesting.

Rouge(in all it's glorious colors) is designed for softer metal. You can find more aggressive polishing compounds, but taking a bead blasted hardened steel surface to"more shine", is a little over the pay grade for Dremel! I would forget that, and move to sanding.

The more knives you grind, the more sparks you make, the more warm inside! Gas heaters do the job, just make sure CO2 levels stay safe in your environment.

I think the curing part is the easier part. I can see metal ductwork with maybe a heat source and fans blowing from one end, over the treated wood, and out a vented exit (fumes are forced away from heat source) . Maybe a hotplate(burner with rheostat for temp control) with fans or heatguns...

Wow! You even made my computer hungry! Very nice looking food my friend. I looked at each meal with my mouth watering. Thanks for sharing.

Tracy, looking at your knives, I get the feeling you can make anything "work". I've been thinking about trying a stainless steel keg, like soft drink syrup is dispensed from in fountain drink machines. They have a fitting on top for pressurizing with C02, so I don't don't see why one couldn't be...

Wow! Your team is amazing! I don't think that could have been any better. Beautiful work guys, and thank you for sharing!

Todd! Why didn't you tell us your a German Shepard? Or is that Belgian Malinois?

Ernie! You know if "that" shoe was on someone else foot, you would do anything you could to help out! Remember "What Goes Around Comes Around" and we might just need you one day! Let your friends give you a hand brother, that's what friendship means!
