I agree with jeremiah wholeheartedly! The skull looks like an SS death's head hat badge. Lose that trash! Besides that, The Minute man logo has class and you say you are giving money to our veteran programs. I sell a few protect autos on a retail basis and don't order the ones with the...

John has listed many great pointers for learning to get your grinds consistent . I also recommend that you try a couple of different belts. Some grind best with Blaze, some with 3m Cubritron I've found that VSM are the best belts for my money but you may be different cause we all use different...

I leave my Kirinite handle at 120 grit finish, G-Flex Epoxy and use mechanical Loveless bolts. I've made in the area of 40-50? knives with Kirinite handles and no problems.

You Animal! Just had to put the noisy throaty sounding muffler off of the Merican truck! LOL So much for being nice to your neighbors:35:

Ed, Great to hear you so happy with Orange Crush! Did you find a Volvo Muffler for the beast? That was the quietest and smoothest sounding car I owned.

Nice little paring knife, I've used Purple heart many times for my culinary knife furniture, handles & Saya. As mentioned the problem with woods is in the working dust.

Daniel, Welcome to the Pack here at KD's!

The materials & finish do complement each other very well! Excellent.

I think "B" is your best bet. You want to have a thinner relief area where your pinky rides or you will tire out a lot faster and the swell at the end will keep your hand from sliding down.

I just Googled Sid Bell knife maker and a TON of stuff came up. Was he an engraver too?

John, I have found that I get the best mileage out of belts by using the fresh belts for bevel grinding then at about 50% of the grit gone they get put into the rough and nasty work pile for profiling and just making metal go away when heat doesn't count. I only really do profiling on...

Justin, Good job on the center line marker! It doesn't have to be pretty to use in the shop, It just has to work! John, Nice pile of kitchen cutters and I do love that Bocote wood! I will have a few pic tomorrow of progress on the bench. Have some sharpening accounts to tend to today.

Bruce, Get a carrousel projector and number out your slides with talking points below each number on a handout that you use as well, with room for notes. You've mentioned a .22 Cal Cut & Shoot. May I suggest that over the next couple of months you simplify a Cut & Shoot design. A...

Just to make sure, When you say you did the test against a 1/4" round rod. You do mean brass, right?

Hyatt, Great looking chef/Santoku knife and I like the Amboyna wood handle with a little live edge at the front! Welcome to the pack here at KD's and with Bruce as a mentor and keeping your nose to the grind stone you will go far making knives! I love being able to tell someone on...

As long as you can get belts for it! Look around for VSM Ceramic Belts. They are a German made belt that here in the USA are low cost and high quality!

You want new wheels or you want to get the wheel recovered in a rubber/neoprene? If you want the wheels look on crags etc for someone selling an old one.

Liam, It looks very solid. I'm sure you will be fine with that machine. Is it being shipped to you?

I read a book a few years back about the test that did at Los Alamos/White sands testing for the very first nuke detonation during WWII. One of the scientists to mess with the other laymen workers at the test not only wore the goggles that they all received. At the final countdown he started...

I've had excellent results with link belt on a KMG and on my 6 x 48 sander. Less vibration and they didn't/haven't developed a memory and stop in the same place all the time like a v-belt can.
