Won't load for me either. Tried Edge, Explorer and Chrome... hmmm edit: just noticed that the pics from earlier of the sheath work won;t load either. They did the other day... hmmm more.

Yes, that's what I was seeing recommended too.

So, I just bought a 2x42 to replace my crappy old 1x30 (not gonna make blades, just handle shaping) and have been looking at advice for glass platens etc. Here is some on USA's site: https://usaknifemaker.com/ceramic-glass-platen-liner-for-flat-platen.html Seems like you shouldn't use just any...

Hey now... if you get off I-94 a ways we have many redeeming qualities in The Land of 10,000 Lakes. As for ND and eastern MT... well there's a reason the westbound Amtrak leaves St. Paul at 10:00pm...

I've found that the wider the blade the better when re-sawing, and crank up the tension to reduce wandering. So I would say find the one that takes the widest blade and fits your budget and space and isn't junk. Sorry I don't have model recommendation on a bench top, but I've been happy with my...

Just... Holy Cow!

Thank you all!
