Very nice I like it. Where on earth do you find stainless thick enough for an integral?

The canon L series lenses usually have pretty good seals so dust issues really should be minimal. I guess it can also be heavily influenced by where you live and where you will be shooting. Obviously desert/dry regions will have more dust potential. I would say if your in a dusty area your...

Bright direct light is never great for photos(unless you specifically are looking for that). It creates hot spots due to the central light source (ie sun) which in turn can create a lot of harsh shadows. Days where there is a nice even cloud cover is usually best for shinny objects. When the sun...

Wow!

Nice tutorial, thank you. I look forward to the next one on scales.

Picked up my aluminum plate earlier this week and this morning had some time to start cutting it up, a little drilling. taping and its slowly but surely coming together.

amazing craftsmanship.

Congrats on the new rig, its a great starter DSLR. Teleconverters will often reduce image quality to varying degrees depending on what lens they are paired up with etc. WHile they certainly allow you to get a shot you may not otherwise get due to distance, the image you end up with may not be...

Thanks for the feedback, thats the belt I intended to use. I think im going to be hard pressed for a central motor position since I think the disc grinder platen will stick out much father than the belt or buffer. So right now Im thinking maybe mount the motor on a smaller plate that slides in...

Ive been wanting to make knives for a long time but just never got around to it. I finally decided its time to take a stab at at. My first step will be to build a 2x72" grinder. I dont have a welder so am going to build something I can bolt together. Ive decided to use 6061 aluminum plate and...

Randy, when you remove the lens the sensor is straight back inside the camera body BUT its behind a mirror. The mirror reflects the light coming in through the lens up to the view finder. When you press the shutter button the curtains open and the mirror pivots out of the way exposing the lens...

I started with a canon 30D, upgraded to 50D and now the 7D. Camera complexity is a very important issue as already mentioned so if your not going to take the time to understand the various shooting modes beyond auto then your probably better suited with a simple point and shoot, maybe a high end...

How does that duracoat hold up on knives?

Dogs are a passion of mine and I am a case manager for a local Pit bull and rottweiler rescue. I also competed in canine disc with my 2 pitties (jasper pictured below).

I'd love to see something similar happen in Minnesota. Ive got a permit to carry a firearm, it just seems silly that I cant also carry an auto knife.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Jim, im not a member of anything at the moment and I have yet to make my first knife but I will check out the guild. This seemed like a good place to gather some time saving tips and tricks so my first step was to register here. Im still in the process of building...

Hi all, Ive been interested in knife making for many years but for one reason or another just never jumped in and got my feet wet. Im a computer engineer by trade but like working with my hands. I do most of my own home improvement stuff from concrete to plumbing to electrical to cabinetry...
