Well in the end I opted to make a new table for my grinder. A long table in order if I want to make a kitchen knife and use a jig I can and I also put a deep slot in the table with a 'V' shape (v formed by either side of the slot edges) so the grit can escape when grinding. I can now sweep the...

Thanks, I will crack it as thee one in the image was my first ever attempt and thinking about it I jigged it first and thought it ok but if wasn't sharp enough. I then did it every so carefully free hand....I forgot that bit.

Now this is the part where I punch myself!...….Glad you posted this as I was going to make a double for my other grinder, never thought of one for my smaller grinder I do Scandis on, reckon we might have it sorted as I have the magnets :) Here's another tips using micarta, pity I have glass...

Very nice knife, especially if its your first. The normal rookie mistake......as with my firste is over grinding the edge but you weren't tempted. That knife has taught you more than you will know and will teach you more even years later as suddenly you think of another way of making your...

Thank you :)…...it has inspired me to make some kitchen knives in the future, already I have had people asking.

Thanks for doing this. Scott is UK based and the Swedish division picked up the article and said they wanted it world wide, so brought a smile to my face and I was glad to help Scott as a decent guy. I will add a few images for those who might not have seen my previous posting of the knife...

I thought about making one of the burners but I sent the link to my father who was an electrician for 40 years and he said no way, way to dangerous. He has had hits from 240 volts supplies that have thrown him off a ladder. As Ken says one mistake.....we all know how dangerous our buffers are...

Well as I found out yesterday the noise comes mainly from the intake as when I took the cheap filter/muffler off it was hardly making a noise in comparison. I think the only issue with the hose will be to keep it as short as possible due to losses in the air that the compressor needs. But I...

I have done free hand on hollow grinds but I think I would find it difficult to be precise on Scandi grinds..:( Though I have thought of getting a bubble jig before. Cheers

That's is the link to it via LinkedIn, I just tried to copy and paste it but it would be to bigger file to post on here I think. I tried and couldn't do it.

I am not sure to be honest, I joined it to see but if there is another way I don't know, tad frustrating I know.

Many thanks for the reply. I looked at the boxing method but the only issue being if the fan fails and everything starts to heat up it might not be so good? But I have learnt that simple using a reinforced hose to take the compressor inlet too the outside or in my case to an outhouse will cut...

I made these two knives recently and as you can see the curved blade has a 'Scandi' grind for deer gralloching ie stomach removal in the field. The curved blade was a challenge as I had the blade in a jig and had to move it along the belt in a sweeping/ curving motion in order to grind it as...

I am pretty sure someone on here will have a noisy compressor and will have fixed it. I am thinking of using a 24 mm hose of a meter in length which will go through the wall of the work shop to my smaller shed. The hose will then be connected to a muffler box which will have another hose...

Another lovely knife!

I have another tip to add to yours. We were always taught and this might sound odd. If you are a witness to an eye injury and render first aid to the injured person, if the eyes injury is bad, lightly cover with sterile gauze and secure,then cover the uninjured eye, so both eyes are covered...

Well I have been doing a bit of digging today with other heat treat companies and they have told me that the 'salt bath' method of meat treating is a fantastic method as the medium once at temperature is bang on the money. They also said they will be no corrosion so long as the steel is tempered...

Good to hear your OK as you only have one pair of eyes. Oh and out of interest where about's is the 'good looking' doctors practice just in case I get a shard in my eye or need my prostate checking? :):):)
