I have one more question that goes along with changing grinding direction with grits, recently I have been using the blue steel dye between grits to show high spots/ deep scratches while grinding, would this also help during hand sanding? -Cameron

wow, I didn't think it would be so simple a solution as just using 220 grit belts/paper. thank you very much, -Cameron

I would like to try to get a nice satin finish on my next batch of knives but since I do not have a scotchbrite belt how do I achieve this? I just want a nice even finish without doing a mirror finish, I see many hand rubbed finishes that look very good but I'm not sure how this is achieved...

I'll try that, might be it. Thank you for the help. if all else fails, I know of someone in town who could fix it, Just was hoping it would be an easy fix -Cameron

From what I know A deferentially hardened blade is mainly for the Hamon. There are may be benefits to deferentially hardening but I'm not sure how significant they are, but I'm sure someone else will know more than me on this subjects. -Cameron

laurence, how long did your friend have the grinder before it started having problems? I called and talked to them and they said they only cover power tools for a year, after that it is on the buyer. I bought mine from a friend, and he said it sat around for sometime around 10 years in his...

I have a 2x42 craftsman belt sander and lately I have noticed it is getting very loud. (I wear earplugs when using it or is causes a headache). I think it may be the wheels, because without a belt it is not loud. Is there a way to clean the bearings or do the wheels need to be replaced? If I...

don't worry about it percy, another person contacted me about it. Got busy and forgot to post that on here yesterday. thank you anyway -Cameron

I was thinking between 8-10 oz? as long as its veg. tanned thickness is less of an issue

I'm replacing the leather on an old strop I have and making a new one. I need 1 strip 1 3/4" X 8 1/2", and 2 strips 2" X 12". I have plenty of Corion for a trade or I can buy it outright PM me if you have some thanks -Cameron

Thanks Laurence, I'll give tru-grit a call. hopefully they have some, that'd really cut time off of sharpening all the time. -Cameron

Thanks, this is about what I thought, just wanted to double check. -Cameron

I have been looking for a way to sharpen my work knives a bit faster and would like a polishing belt to put some polishing compound to put a final edge on them, but I don't know weather to buy a leather or cork belt for this purpose. how long do cork and leather belts last, and would a cork belt...

I like the middle blade, but having the four finger grooves makes it a little touchy. some people it will fit and be very comfortable but on others their hand might not line up with the grooves and it will feel awkward to use. and on the blade on the left, the back of the handle seems a little...

looks great, I'm sure your son will be proud to have it. -Cameron

I read on another post here about going to a custom auto-shop and asking what temp the coatings they put on things cures at, if its not too high it should be very durable. I haven't tested this myself just read it that one time. wish I could be of more help. -Cameron

I heard a rumor someone got one of these in the mail before going to buy a car, once the dealership saw this thing they gave him the car for free. :les: I wonder why these keep causing awesome things to happen. -Cameron

update: the graft on the left didn't look good and at 0700 this morning they opened her up to remove it all, when they did blood flow was good and it all looked healthy. The doctor can't explain why this happened except for a miracle, I guess all the prayers paid off. she is doing better still...

I like the thinner design best, I don't know if its just me but I like thinner sheaths just because I don't like it when my belt feels overly cluttered. both look great by the way -Cameron

I have not done any of this myself but I read a post here a while back mentioning going to a custom car shop ans asking the temp their powder coat is cured at. I can't remember who posted it but they said it held up well. -Cameron
