VERY nice looking. To be honest I'd never even considered making a bolster out of wood. 2thumbs

I was going to say the same thing. I have a block of that I bought at the ECCKS a little while back. Now I now what it will look like finished. Very nice Frank, I'm definitely making myself a karambit one of these days, they're one of my favorite knives. 2 questions: How wide of a piece of...

I'm in the process of soldering and wiring up my etcher from Chris Crawfords website. The part for the AC power cord that he has is no longer made by Radio Shack (or at least listed as that part number), so while I was there I bought what I thought was it's replacement. I just cut the wire and...

Looks beautiful, really like that you put that white spacer in there really helps make everything "pop".

I'm just getting ready to wire my etcher up myself. So you guys are saying graphite is the way to go? How do you attach it to the wire. And if anyone has any (graphite) they wouldn't mind parting with I'd love to give it a go.

Very nice! Although that seems like the brownest buckeye burl I've ever seen.

Sweet! Thank you sir.

So essentially the width of the blade is irrelevant then? It all boils down to what height you want the plunge to be (or the bevel to stop)? So in my prevoius example I could mark my center line, and grind lines on either side. Then set the jig at 9 degrees and grind until I hit my marks...

I'm horrible with excel so to be honest I'm just going to take your word for it that the chart is fine. So thanks to whoever posted that link and thanks to those who have verified it's accuracy. Last question: When it's referring to the bevel height is that basically how far up the blade the...

Yeah I know but I'm wondering about how to go about using that calculator to determine all the angles for whatever different size blade someone is making. I'm guessing that chart someone posted can also be used but how familiar is anyone with the accuracy of that? If that gives the same...

So let's say you were using Fred's bubble jig on this calculator but no dagger just a standard blade. What are specs one would need to enter into each parameter? In other words in the first field we want to calculate what and what? Then we would input stock thickness and blade width (I'm...

Just curious as to what every uses for their hand sanding? I have 2 main "tools". One is a piece of metal stock I use for sanding parallel to the blade. I also have a block of Bocote I use then I sand perpendicular to the blade. I also occasionally use a small piece of 1/2" square stock that I...

Nice looking pieces Fred. I have a few I have had sitting around while I was waiting for the HT to be done on my first. I also want to try and get a wharnie done in time for father's day as present made in stainless. We'll see how many actually get done. I still need to get the stainless. Oh...

My brother had an Akita years ago (which wound up with what became his ex girlfriend). However I don't know if was the particular one but it required A LOT of work with obedience. From what I've gathered (and may be incorrect) they are a very dominant breed. Extraordinarily loyal but if they...

I'm sure this is extremely helpful.... is there a "for dummies" version :confused:

Welcome to the pound from another member of "The fun-died" state. :p hello there

Congrats to her being cancer free for a year!! Here's to a lifetime of it staying that way! She's a cutie and sure she's already bent your will to do her bidding ;).

I would have to say there seems to be something wrong with that first one. Why don't you send it to me so I can inspect it better ;). Very nice work.

I'm in the process of getting my mark made and wanted a quick opinion from you guys. I'm debating getting "Custom Knives" put under my name on the mark and wanted to know if this is a good/bad idea or is it even worth having put on?

Some of these were taking with a light rain taken so forgive the water spots
