not that i know of, my friend who made this app only works with android, i think. ill ask him though!

I talked my friend into programming a simple angle calculator based on Dwight Huges' formula. He said that it only took a half an hour to do, but it looks like it works pretty well. If anybody wants to try it, it is for android phones, here is a link to it...

i cant wait to try this myself!!

thanks guys, im already planning my next folder, it is very addicting!

Hey guys, I just finished my first liner lock knife, before this, I had only done friction folders (two to be exact) but i wanted to try more machining, and more precision work this time. I can say that for my first, its not bad, it will open, lock, close, and stay closed in your pocket. The...

cool, once its done, ill have to see what i can do with it! thats probably one of my favorite things to do hahaha, testing my stuff to see how well i did!

i have thought about using an angle grinder, actually on my first ever failed attempt to make a sword, i used a cut off wheel that i rigged up on this grinder. the fuller was nice, but the rest was chocked up to the learning experience! this sword is pretty much a weekend project, so i was just...

this is exactly what i came to look for when i got on this site today! i told myself "i want to learn how to do san mai blades" and the first thread that pops up is exactly what i was looking for! i never even thought of the problems thermal expansion and contraction could cause! wow, as if i...

So today i ground in one of the fullers, i actually free-handed it using my bench top grinder with a rounded out wheel on it, trying to keep it even, and just being patient with it. heres some pictures of how it turned out, and what not! its a little wider than i was planning on doing...

oops yeah haha two and a half feet long, nice catch! haha

Recently i have been interested in two new things, swords and bayonets. so i figured what the heck?? ill try to make a bayonet style sword! i had a piece of quarter inch by inch and a half 1085 from admiral steel, i cut it to be about two and a half feet long, and started grinding on it. so far...

i did the tape trick, i forgot to mention it. when i first learned of that trick, it really worked well when i was sanding long ways on the blade

Hello guys, so first off, this is my first folding knife experiment, i normally forge or do stock removal of fixed blade knives, so this may or may not work for you (or anyone). Unfortunately i dont have many pictures of this, but heres what i did: First- I cut out my blade blank, and profiled...

what was the ratio or mixture of saltwater you used?

hey guys, i just forged out a spearpoint hawk if anybody is interested in finishing it for themselves, its been heat treated, and thats about it! check it out! SOLD!!

paracord bullwhips are fun to make! it takes me about 12 hours to make one. doing it in a hammock keeps your butt or legs from falling asleep while your braiding. mine crack great, unless i accidentally hit myself in the face with them, true story :P

both blades are differentially tempered 1095 high carbon steel with a grey parkerized finish. the handle scales are self made black cotton micarta, with a random pattern in them. the sheaths are kydex, and comes with two tek-locks. i will sell them separately, but i made them as a pair...

Thanks! yeah that billet is a real tough SOB, im going to wyoming in july to learn how to make liner lock folders from mike draper, and while im there i think ill take advantage of their tools and pound this one out with their nice press. then next time ill start with a smaller billet! live and...

haha, they are really interesting, as far as doing actual artsy smithing stuff, im not so good yet, i have not really tied scrolls or anything like that, the only thing i really have done is a simple twist, but i plan on practicing more of the art this summer, also it was hard for me to keep the...

sweet thanks guys, ill start figuring out a plan and hopefully ill have a website up in the near future! near being like the next year
