Mike Draper Mike had a knife at Steve Kelly's hammer in and it had Armadillo on it. He did a very fine job of it. Maybe give Mike a call. Jim

steel I made myself a steel many years ago from a small rat tail file. I ground off all the roughness from the file then stuck it in the drill press and then used emery cloth to finish cleaning off the rough stuff. Once all the markings were gone I took it out of the drill press and used finer...

Leather stamps Dennis was here this last weekend and brought samples of his leather stamps. He does a really good job on them. I compared them to a leather stamp I had made 6 years ago and there is really no difference. His price is half of what I paid for my stamp.:D Jim

grinder I used this grinder just about all day today and WOW I am impressed with it's performance. It has a 2 hp dc motor with a VFD that you can't stall. (I tried).:D Jim

My new grinder showed up yesterday and I couldn't be happier. This thing tracks better than any other grinder I've used. :D Jim

no problem I think you and Doug are going to have reasons to celebrate at the blade show. You both do great work. 2thumbs Jim

nice John Nice work. I really like that piece of ironwood as well. Do you have a good source for ironwood?

Here are 2 more I have ready for sheaths.

Stamped I had a stamp made a few years ago. I want to learn how to etch though. The blade material started out as 1/4".

Sheath Here is the sheath completed

Here is the sheath I built for this knife

nice set-up Bob. What size is that contact wheel?

nice Nice work Dennis. Looks like you are going to have to stop building knives and start building stamps. I think my metal stamp was $150.00+. I had it made a few years ago in Edmonton. I also had a leather stamp made which has more detail and it was over $200.00 I think.

nice I really like deer horned handles. I have a lot of deer and elk sheds. I want to make more horn handled knives. Do you stabilize your antlers before using for handles?

Here is a knife I just finished today. Just need to build a sheath and sharpen.

NICE Very nice work Steven

VERY nice Brian. Congrats Jim

The smaller vessel is just there to tie my vacuum pump into. Then I ran another suction line to the bigger vessel. (here the wood and chemical solution will be). This way I wont be pulling any solution into the pump.

I will start selling once I get good at the process.

I will put wood into 6" vessel and pull vacuum for couple days(???). I will then use the vacuum to suck my stabilizer solution into the vessel. I will again pull vacuum for couple days(???). Then I will shut the vacuum and put about 150 lbs of pressure into the vessel and leave that for a few...
