Maybe Whiny :p

Well my stencils (the second set he sent) arrived today. They look great! I really enjoyed the experience of working with Ernie!

I am looking to buy some smaller pieces of stainless steel for blades and springs of slip joint folding knives. If just asking for some good stainless steel wasn't hard enough, I'd also prefer if it was hardened before shipping (so I wouldn't have to worry about doing that/sending it out) I'm...

I just wanted to share my recent experience buying stencils from Ernie Grospitch. I emailed him back and forth on the 2nd to come up with the best logo that I would want. I had to call him to pay with a credit card, and he said that he would ship it on Tuesday the 6th. I checked the mail every...

I googled it, and I couldn't find much. The best I can come up with is he is (might be) a dealer of antique/collectible knives.

I believe it was an old tradition where makers would put their knives into a hat and each would pull a different knife out or something as an exchange. Instead of that, names will be drawn and the knives will be mailed to the recipients.

fleabay=ebay That's a HUGE anvil!

I tend to lean into the belt when grinding at the plunge, then ease off toward the tip. It gets me screwy grind lines, and the edge is not uniform in thickness. And, I've turned the edge blue at the plunge while finishing. Not fun.

I have one of the 4 prong chisels to get my holes, and I also have a 1/8" flat head screw driver to help around curves. One thing that has helped me a TON is to use my wood band saw to cut the leather pieces (already cemented) to the right shape. I have cut 3 pieces cemented together as if it...

I just wanted to add to my knife pics that I had to make a new sheath (the leather I had was chrome tanned) but I finished that last night. And I still am waiting to my stencil to arrive so I can mark the blade. So depending on when I get my stencil, I may not have it ready in time. (Ernie said...

This place seems to have it, but you have to request a quote. http://www.alloymetalsinc.com/tubing.php

Congrats! And thanks Fred once again for the chance.

Happy birthday Charlie! My dad's is tomorrow (like in 2 minutes lol) and mine is Monday.

Here's what the company for the leather scraps said: And today, I just found a really cool leather shop downtown in Indy, called Landwerlen Leather Co. If any of you guys are near Indy and want to check out an old-fashioned leather shop, go there. They're really friendly, and their scrap...

Hey Bob, thanks so much for sharing your design for the etcher on Chris Crawford's web site. You have helped so many people out.

I'm still waiting for an email back from the company, but I burned two sample pieces, one that I was pretty sure to be chrome, and the other I wasn't sure about... They both had green ashes. Looks like most of it's chrome. Bummer.

My dad just built me (he's an electrical engineer) that etching unit that Josh referenced. I have to wait for my stencils to get here, but in my tests, it's working wonderfully.

Oh... Wish I had seen this earlier... I have been buying leather from Hobby Lobby farmer's bundle packs as seen here so I hope that its mostly/all veg tanned... I just emailed the distributing company to see if they can help me determine.
