Jason go to the beaumont site and look at their idler set up, it would be an easy thing to make and seems to work great.

Randy how think and how wide to you make a knife like the one with the blue handle. they are supurb looking. I was wondering if they are too thick how they would drag when cutting. Anyway just a question. Great work.

My understanding is that Wayne is the go to guy to get variable speed on your grinder. You might seel you 1 1/2 motor to help offset the cost also.

thanks Tracy. It seems no one that looked at this thread even wanted to comment. Maybe I will sell my rolling mill. It presses the crap out of steel. I put it at a friends shop and he was using it quite a bit. Anyway thanks for the info.

thanks for the info Ed. I just do stock removal but was wondering anyway. It is a great looking bar you came up with.. I have been wanting to have a billit made with this process and was just wondering how it was done. Have a great show. Percy

I cut a bunch of spacer years ago at the saddlemakers shop that does my sheaths. Than I sent them to K&G and had them stabalized and they worked great like that.

I posted a 50lb trip hammer for sale for my brother on this site and two others. No one seems interested even at what I think is a great price. At one time these little giant hammers were hard to get. I know I sold my 100 lber the first day I let someone know it was for sale and that was 15...

I don't even like the idea of digital currency. Greenbacks and coin, you get caaught up in the digital currency market and you may loose all your currency period. Better to use what works and be done with it.

Ed how big was the can and what did you use in it as far as material. Thanks for your time. Percy

That is awesome looking in a bad picture. man would it be nice in a great picture.

You could buy the whole sheet and then you would get the raw edges. Ruffin Johnson bought several and I cut them up for him. He would have other knifemaers go in to help with it. I bought one sheet once and the had raw edges all around.

I called and talked to Carpenter this morning and they sent me to a supplier, but the supplier said they did not have it and had not heard of it. That is something when the maker has a supplier that does not know of the product. How can you be a supplier if your number is the one given by the...

Thanks guys, this place is a world of info. I am joining because this much info should not be free. How do you join as a knifemaker, take into consideration I am not a computer person.

thanks for the time you put into this to answer. Percy

For some of you guys or gals that know more about this stuff. I have been making knives for 25 years and this has always been in the back of my mind but never reached out and pursued it. If you heat treat 440c and have a 59 Rockwell and you heat treat CPM 154 and get a 59 rockwell why would...

I am in!!!!!

I use it for bushings in folders. I make turn them in a lathe and they work great, K & G sells bushings made from it. I think that is what Tony Bose uses. I bought some from K&G to try and liked them so turned some out of 1/2 inch round stock. A lot to turn to 3/16 for a bushing but it was...

Mine are 2" X 12" X12" and I have not had a problem with anything I heat treat. They are heavy enough that a vice isn't needed. I don't know how many people use a vice with aluminum plates. Most people I have seen have 1" thick.

Remember in life with the wife there are only two ways to go. Either you are happy or you are right. Can't be both anytime anywhere for sure. Happy is always better because if she ain't happy nobody is happy. Right only works for you and she don't care about you being right at all. I am...

the guy who was going to get me his address and number said his boss said no he could not. Sorry I will keep on trying to help find him for you, if you do let me know so I can stop. Percy
