I have a old Kilns.Inc kiln. It is a 220 kiln it has a high-med -low knob. it is 10 x12 around 5 inches high When you turn the knob the light only comes on when it is on med or high now . I just had it running for 2 hours and it maxes out at 1100 degree's the elements burn bright and...

Thats a good idea about making a shop knife and pushing my so called limits.

It was the older style... I have to get the newer larger female conector to hook my regulator to. Just having a hard time getting one local.

Is this better ? I wanted to see if I learned anything last week from you guys.

Got this sorted out. Sorry for the thread

Ok I got a tank gifted to me. Its about twice the size of a 20 lb tank. Problem is I went to hook up my hose and the fittings are not the same. It's not the old school smaller threaded one its almost the same size as whats on any standard 20 lb but the threads just are off. It apears that it can...

Very nice !

Thanks for the imput you guys . I can see where you all are coming from and I will use this in my next handle. I will also let a smaller handed person help me out and try and find a middle ground.

I should have added a few other shots. This knife did not come back but was noted as having a handle that was to big.

Hi I am having a hard time selecting handle size. problem is I tend to make all my knives based on how it feels in my hand. I have a good size hand so I make my handles a touch thicker than some people like. I have had three out of my last 10 knives come back for some more removal. Most...

I do agree.. Very nicely done.

You got that right.. I remember I was drilling out a pin when I first started when it got hung up and spun the blade spine first into my hand. I remember looking at my hand wondering how I still had all my digits. If it was going the other way you know what the outcome would have been.

wait..What this is no longer standard practice ?? JK .. Thanks Kevin you have been very helpfull to me.

Those are some really fine looking hammers !! I have to ask. Can you use them ?

Well I just got done forging a small blade on my new and improved atlas forge. I bought the forge last year and after using it for a bit I started to get frustrated with the slow heats so I decided I was going to build a new forge. Well I got to thinking. Would be a shame to let the platform go...

Great job on that..I to am a fan of the old stuff. Always have my eye open but really like the disc on that. I think a good disc grinder really helps around the shop so usefull.

Nice Job ! All the materials flow really well.

Thank You Doug..I think I am going to go with the Venturi Burner just so I don't need electricity.
