That looks very good. Great job utilizing work arounds for a nice clean finished product.

I have some left over rolls of various grits from doing body work and paint on an old car I'm restoring. I plan on using those in the shop but I think their use will be limited and if it wasn't for being leftovers, expensive. The nice thing about them is they are 2" wide and adhesive backed...

Nice work!! Following along.

I love getting new tools!

I like the blade shape also. Good job

Nice job! That Windex is some amazing stuff.

Thats one of the reasons I really dont have any desire for a YT channel. Well that and being ugly!! But I do subscribe to some of those smaller channel guys that I like to hopefully help get them a few bucks in their pockets for their efforts.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Those are very nice scales

Fixed it for ya! No resolutions for me but goals are: Finish shop Increase tooling with either a mill or a surface grinder Come up with new designs and blanks for all of them

Congrats on the show Kevin. And that is a beautiful piece of work you made there.

Pad poured today for the shop extension. Im not sure how long its going to take me to frame this up but I have a few other small things to get done for momma before I can really get going on this.

Did it tip over because the base being narrow? Just curious as I have an ammo can I was going to start using. If the base is too narrow do you think welding up some angle iron into a frame the can sits in would solve the problem? I suppose you could even extend some "legs" out a bit also.

Very cool.

It's actually unseasonably warm (and dry) here in Colorado. Warm enough that I ordered concrete for my new shop pad for Thursday. High 40's Wednesday and Thursday, 50's Friday and Saturday, and 40's again all next week.

Hello all, Been a long time since Ive been on the site. So many other things going on, knives were just secondary. Not having a dedicated shop was difficult also so this is not so much a whats going on "in" my shop but more whats going on "on" my shop. I am adding on to my garage a heated...

I just went through this thread from beginning to end. The progression you have made from your first to now is amazing. It is very cool to see that.

Those look nice. You mentioned SS bolster and 416 pin stock. Is the bolster 416 also? Using the same bolster material as pin stock is a must. I also have never put glue in my bolster holes. I built a small but heavy duty press that I use for bolster pins. After I press them I also beat those...

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I have found that people just don't understand this when they hand you metals they have no idea what it is, and want you to make a knife out of it. Well intentioned but misinformed. At the same time I just hate turning these into scrap metal.

I was kind of afraid of that Ed. Can you even get these tested? I thought I had heard the places that do that kind of testing wanted like a 1" cube of the material to test. Any idea of what the cost would be for something like that?
