Once again, In! :)

Ric, how do you keep the stones from getting filled with bits of metal, and clean them? I have a few stones that I had used (or bought used) that need to be cleaned out.

This is turning out to be a great discussion! What I think I will try is putting an edge on using a belt or paper wheels, then going to stone finishing to see if I can improve my hand sharpening ability.

I'm in for Saturday! Thanks once again!

In for friday! Thanks for the chance, again!

I'm in! Thanks for the chance!

I only got a 2 hour delay!

I wanted to start a thread here about how knifemakers sharpen knives. I have been using the paper wheels to get very sharp knives (still need practice though) but the knives knock hair off when I'm done. While I love the edge these things put on a blade, I would hate to think what would happen...

I have only made about 15 blades, tried to HT at home, got discouraged, then moved to files to make a few blades. Cutting tests with a 2x4 quickly showed me that a file knife was far superior to a "home hardened" blade I had done. Now I haven't sold any of my knives, but I did give one away to a...

I'm in! But, I prefer a square leg to speedo. A little less revealing...

Keep that cold weather up there! Or at least give us enough snow to cancel school :)

I'm in, and I'd like to take #2 as my partner!

$25 disc grinder? Not perfect, but it works pretty dang good! http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?5224-DIY-Disc-Grinder

I needed to polish up a couple pieces of mahogany for some pictures, so I decided to use a super glue finish and take some pics to show others how I do it. I have the mahogany blocks ready, sanded to 220 with an orbital sander. I also just use the cheapest thin super glue that I got for free...

I couldn't stop myself... I went back and picked up two more boards. Now I'll have to get them cut up for handles. Too bad I'm visiting family until Friday... I really want to see what these blocks look like! They should be on the forums for sale hopefully by this weekend. Anyone need a...

Hey guys, I had a thought... I have a bunch of threaded couplers that I am trying to use like loveless style pins. They work great for handles, but I was wondering if there was any way to use them for a pivot? I use regular screws for the handles, but I was wondering if a screw were to be...

I like the cross cut look the best too. What are others opinions about the cut? I'm sure it would make a wonderful looking gun handle, but it's only 1" wide, and I don't know much about guns, so I do not know if that would work. (Sent you a PM, Kris)

I planed the boards, then I just decided to cut the very end off, sand a corner round, sand to about 300 grit finish, then put two coats of super glue, sanding 800 grit between, buff with white compound for about a minute, and this is what I got. All I spent was about 10 minutes of work from the...

Are there any credit cards that have pin numbers? I have used my debit card many places, and quite a few of them have a handheld pin number punch to be able to have even small places safer from fraudulent purchases. The pin can be a hassle if it is only like a $5 purchase, but I appreciate doing...

James, I thought you liked mahogany. I can't wait to see how this stuff looks on a knife, if it even has enough color to look nice. Mark, part of the reason why I have the whole board (cut in half to fit in my car) is to maybe use it for a guitar top and bottom, and maybe find some other...
