Well fellas I figured out the problem, turns out the screen will read "EEEE" if the ambient temperature sensor reads below 40F. So I just gotta run my electric heater next to the kiln for the winter time.

It has blue and red wires... I tried both ways. Roger thanks for the link, I'll try that either tonight or tomorrow.

IG, it would be nice if there were clear instructions. I already tried a new thermocouple (and switching polarity) which is the most common cause other than wrong programing (which is right). This leaves me with either too high or low input value; or a defective unit. I don't think its...

Hey guys. I finally got my heat treat oven ready but when I went to fire it up I ended up with a display that says EEEE. The instructions can be found here...

Buy from a known and respected American maker. Delbert Ealy, Deker, Chad Nichols, Ironarms, and myself all make good damascus. Also price is a good indicator. My prices are competitive but still cost three times more than imported damascus. This is because when your making good damascus you...

Myself and Deker make excellent damascus. We both have excellent prices for the quality and offer a variety of patterns. I can provide random, raindrop, butterfly, waterfall, maidenshair, firestorrm, explosion, or turkish twist. I don't know Deker's list so hopefully he will chime in...

Yup, part of it includes certain additives that are allowed in food. It includes 4 pesticides that are so dangerous that over 160 countries have banned it. I have a nice plot of land picked out in the woods for a garden if this goes though.

Build one from scratch. The hard firebricks won't insulate and that is too big for an efficient oven.

Thanks for posting that bossdog!

IG buyyyyyyyy it! I have the KGS-200 and paid $1200 for everything including the vfd and shipping. A new Kent KGS-200/250 costs 8-9G. They are worth every single cent!

Nope. I use the 6" wide dies on my hammer to make it even. It takes a bit of practice to do it right but its better than wasting more material. I typically take off .010" per side on the surface grinder once I finish the billet. This evens it up and removes all the forging pits. The key at this...

Frank sent me a few pictures of his grinding jig. Personally I would have went with hex bolt rather than Philips head screws. ;)

That makes two of us! :o

How much do you need taken off, do you need it an exact size or just flat in a .01+/- range, and would you be able to cut it into sections less than 18" long? I'm waiting on the last $55 to get my surface grinder running. If it runs as good as it looks I can do the work for you.

An absolutely stunning folder by Frank Niro. The damscus is my random pattern damascus. To say the least; I'm honored to have my steel used on one of Frank's fine works of art. 2thumbs The handle material is blue mammoth tooth and the overall length is 8 1/8" :eek:

You can buy brand new Hitachi and other surplus VFDs on ebay at a good price. I've even seen a 15hp vfd going for only $700 :eek:. The 2hp model I'm buying for my surface grinder is only $225 shipped which isn't horrible for a good brand.

They recently changed that so all flat rate services are included. I used to ship small flat rate boxes as flat rate envelopes since price and insurance price are the same and they didn't have small flat rate boxes listed. huh1 So far I've had two packages of damascus take over 20 days when...

That turn out really nice buddy! I like how you used the slow twist end of the bar to have the pattern curve with the blade, I never would have thought of that. 2thumbs

My other hobby's are shooting stuff, restoring old machines, machining, and airsoft. Airsoft is like paintball but with 6mm plastic bbs and realistic guns. Here I am before my ghillie suit was finished at a game about four years ago. A bit farther back. I'll snag a photo of my guns...

1)Treadle driven lathe with a milling attachment. (would cutting tools be included or separate?) 2) A pair of tongs big enough to handle a iron/steel bloom. 3) Anvil 4) Hammer I think those 4 would be the best for rebuilding humanity; not for survival.
