Nice! I like the pin arrangement and what's not to love about maple burl?

Very nice! I like that false edge/swedge (whatever the proper term is...) on the top.

Thanks John!

Thanks Guys!

Fillet blade from USAKnifemakers, Leopardwood, Corian sample pieces, brass and black spacers. Tru-Oil gunstock finish

I used a gift card I got for test driving a car to buy some new belts... I might test drive another... o_O

I agree. I think it makes sense to flatten the concave side. I would be concerned that they are not done drying out and may continue to warp, but if they do, there will be less tendency to pull away from the blank out around the edges. And hopefully the pins and glue will keep the middle flat too.

Yeah. Just a little nick. Was drilling pin holes in a set of handle scales and using a piece of oak 4x4 for backing. Something went wonky and the whole shebang was spinning. Luckily I hit the switch before it went through my wife's windshield!

Praying for the best.

Yeah, you've heard it before from people smarter than me... Clamp your @@@@ down when using the drill press! Luckily it was wood and not a blade helicoptering.

Not sure about the epoxy, but if you get the pins too hot they can burn the edges of the holes they are in if wood, or possibly melt other synthetic materials.

I like the grain on that piece. I'm worried about the potential of breaking it in half while clamping or pushing pins though it though...

Hopefully that's not the ingredients list... :oops:

Welcome! You could maybe start by buying premade blades and adding handles to them if you're not into the metal work/forging part of the hobby.

Welcome! (I just bought a new Outback!)

They might be some sort of wheel chock to keep a rail car from rolling away when disconnected. The flat part would go under the wheel. Just guessing though...

Again, the cleanliness of that wood to metal connection area just amazes me. And the checkering and Damascus are awesome. Good Job!

There was a post on their FB group page last Friday saying the April 18 meeting is canceled and the next meeting is August 1 in Iowa. No specifics.
