I think I've heard of it. I actually have Autocad 2016 for work but I don;t use it much. I use Mastercam, and it is optioned just enough to put me out of reach of 3D capabilities. lol

The clip base is actually sitting in a pocket right now, that's how I am able to hold it with one screw. I thought about doing a hidden mount, where the screw comes in from the back side, but the new idea I have kind of creates a problem. The original plan was to tap the standoffs. I would then...

I have been nonstop building a completely new shop since around May of last year. Since my family and I moved to our new home, I finally got the chance to build a dedicated knife shop. I was able to section of an area of the shop and make it a grinding room, and then utilize the rest of the...

Looks great bud.

Subscribed. I have never done a show. I hope to attend Blade next year as a vendor vs. a spectator. Good advice so far - I am taking notes.

Very nice.

Good looking. I really like the hatching pattern look to the carbon fiber.

Tracy, great to hear you have chosen to learn about CNC and machining. I've been doing it for about thriteen years now. In my opinion, the real advantage to a CNC is the repeatability and the time saving. I bought my Tormach machine for one reason..to save time. I have been a hobbyist...

It's been a while since I posted around here. I seem to be more and more busy and don't have the time to just hang out like I used to. On top of that, more and more makers are moving to facebook so I see a lot of their work there. I just wanted to stop by and say hello to everyone. How is...

thanks!

I'm just hoping to retire TO knifemaking one day. :biggrin:

Thanks for the replies folks. I picked some up and will use it in a few days. I'm working on my first sheath.

I'm working on a charity knife I do every year and I'm looking for a small piece of exotic leather to trim a case with. I was interested in shark skin or ostrich, but I am not having any luck finding a small piece. All I need is about 2" x 6". If anybody has any of the following, Shark skin...

I've seen a few tutorials where people used some sort of glue in between pieces of leather, and I think I have heard it called contact cement. Is this what it is? If so, is there any place I can get it locally, like a hardware store or Walmart?

That's actually PathPilot, Tormach's new proprietary machine control software. I played around with the Mach 3 for a bit, but I was not all that impressed. PathPilot is Linux based and I feel like it is the good choice. It is still in beta, but the full release should be coming within the year...

After years of debate and saving and trying to decide when a good time was, I made the move a couple of weeks ago. My output has been severely limited because I just don't have a whole lot of free time, and it doesn't look like that will ever get better. This should free up a lot of that time...

I know many slipjoint makers use 416SS for their bolsters, and I assumed they were using it for the liners as well. I was on the hunt for some 416ss sheet yesterday and could not find any. A few suppliers tell me that it is not made in sheet...??I guess the only answer to this is that you are...

Understood.

Very much helpful. Thanks for the info. I've never done a two blade but I might try one. I'm going do a few more slippies. I have some ATS-34, and I have a piece of Elmax left from another build that may be good enough to get at least one blade out of.

Good stuff. I'd use it in a heart beat.
