I do batches and send to heat treat but then I do them one or two at a time. Gotta work on speeding that part up

Don't you just love that stereo microscope sitting there? I've found more uses for my microscope than I ever imagined. I purchased it for working on SMD (Surface Mounted Devices) on printed circuit boards, but have found uses from gunsmithing to knifemaking.

@Nick Riggi Nice looking profile. Make sure you post it when you finish. I always wanted to try and make 1

This may not be news to others, but it is to me, so I thought I would share.
My last collet for my Dremel went missing, so I went to Lowe's to pick a few up and instead found this.
Just like a regular chuck for a drill press. So no more need to change collets. It works quite well and saves a lot of time when switching between tools.

Completed my first folder. Very basic with a lot of flaws but you have to start somewhere.

Made a few with Spruce Pincone lately. Seems when I think I'm through with them someone will see one that I've done and want one. Good problem to have I guess. Steel is 1084 with white liners and natural micarta pins.

that is a fine lookin knife, Randy. That pinecone always looks like a centipede to me !

In the past I haven't liked cone scales. They always looked awkward to me. But these don't. They've turned out very nice. Good job!

Very nice BJ! I really like that bird's eye maple. I have some that I'm looking forward to putting on a knife soon. I hope it looks as good as yours.

Thanks ,Sean. Birds eye is nice to work. Just pre sand to 400 grit , then slather on the tru oil . After it dries , buff with 0000 steel wool. Repeat til you're done. Wax with carnuba and presto , all done.
