I agree, we're going to have to get him a camera though. He doesn't post near enough pictures. 2thumbs:D Hi ya Frank!

Making one slip joint is asking for punishment, making a double blade is just insane! Very very nice.

I noticed you had to put brains in these"". :D Thanks for the tip the more I read the less I liked the idea of a polished spring. I've been doing some polishing tonight I'll post up some pictures tomorrow.

sweet knife. are you going to Wannenmacher's again?

:D dang turkeys bout time to brush up on some calling. Well yes I have actually been in the shop. WHen I left off I had drilled the mother of pearl. It chipped out some and also I had left the mop a little higher (proud) of the bolsters. This was so that I could lay it on the flat platten...

Thanks, with my real job it's going slow. Hunting season will be done soon and this knife will be right after. Then headed your way. It's been a slow journey but it'll get there. Thanks for the patience

Thanks guys. JAWilliams I drilled at high speed, everyone recommended that to me. Been out with hunting groups one right after the other should have some more to post this weekend. James I will call you, I haven't been home at a decent hour to do so.

Thanks Papi, I've done a little work shaping the pearl closer to the liners, and also catching the second knife up to this point. Might get a little shop time in this weekend.

Getting a little closer, got both sides drilled. This one chipped on me some too, but not bad here it is mocked up

You read my mind, scary posting mistakes and all. Looking good, real good a damascus slippie is going to be sweet2thumbs

Ah you know I don't know my belt speed, I'll take some measurements of my pulley's and what not and see if I can figure it out.

Joe awesome first attempt. How much hair do you have left? lol Thanks Craig, it's slow going with my job, but I'm getting there. James sounds good, give me a hollar when you are ready. Well the big day has come drilling. This whole WIP has made me nervous as can be, at least when I'm not...

Hey stranger, I don't know how fast you grind, but I can see a big difference with speed. If I run my grinder on the slower setting the 3m gold belts you are talking about will last forever and put the blazes to shame. If I run my grinder on fast the blaze belts will out last the 3m gold belts...

Hey glad to see ya over here, great talking with you too. Stick around here, it's a great forum. Phil thanks for the comments. I'm still learning at this as well, it's been one big learning process. Well I have some more done tonight. First off I put masking tape on the back of the liner...

I also have a new toy I have no idea how to use just yet. It's a Kuhlmann 1/2 milling pantograph. I"ve got a couple of ideas for some slip joints with no pins showing. Jerry McClure is going to be giving me some lessons.

Well I got the bolsters up to 600 grit before glueing up. This wasn't really necessary because I had the MOP a little proud of the bolster so that I could sand it down flush and get rid of any surface chips. It was more to let me know that the spot weld spots weren't going to show when polished...

Well after taking a haitus from everything but work I'm back. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I got the bolsters flat sanded. I wanted to get them just a hair thinner than the mop so that they could be sanded flat together and the mop would be more soft than the...

Just started thinning bolters here. I beveled the edges to about the thickness I wanted and started flattening.

14" of snow, I don't think I've ever seen more than 10". Bad deal with all this cold weather, is that we didn't get any moisture. I got some shaping of the boslters done tonight. I'll post up some pictures tomorrow night.

yup
