Brad if you like ostrich you can get small pieces of the real thing on Ebay for cheap. They are "scraps" but we bought a box of them and all are plenty big for sheath inserts or small wraps like that. It takes regular leather dye nicely. I will try to find the seller's name and send it to you.

Those are cool! Nice work man.

Cool! you may want to look into converting it to run 2x72" belts. Either way they're good little machines.

Welcome and thanks for your service! Any pal of Murph's is a pal of ours :)

Seems to be an older model. If it's in good working order, 1HP is a lot of snort! Wanna trade? :D

RIP Mr. Hood.

Lookin good!

Mike is a hard guy to pin down, I saw him at the Guild show last year and he was busy as a bee taking pictures, greeting people and generally having a good time. Go look at his site, he posted a boatload of pics and info there. I did get a minute with him though and it was worth the wait :) He's...

Very pretty yet wicked knife, and a cool photo layout too. Nice work!

Once again, I'm very proud of my fellow dogs for showing their community spirit, kindness and appreciation. I'm not able to commit at this time; I already have a couple NPO projects in the works and my office manager (AKA she-who-must-be-obeyed) says I need to stop giving things away for awhile...

Looks like you're starting to get the hang of it :biggrin:

No, it really never occurred to me. I always have enough projects going on at once that I don't run out of things to do, usually I run out of time and/or belts first. Many times I don't even have handle/bolster/guard material picked out before HT, just drill the tang for whatever kind of pins or...

I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. Brass is pretty easy to hammer. Give it a shot and let us know! I've gotten cool textures just by laying brass and N/S on a concrete surface and thumping it with a rubber mallet. Here are some other interesting ideas for coloring brass, bronze and...

OK that makes sense. Thank you :)

I've used a "holy-smokes-this-is-fast" 2x42 for an awful lot of knives and frankly I don't see the big deal about the speed. It just requires a light touch. Maybe I'm just used to it, I sure made a lot of goofs on my first dozen feet of steel or so :o In fact when I get around to building a...

One concern would be how coarse most bench-grinder stones are. How the heck would you get the rough scratches out? I did my first couple flat-ground KSO's on a bench grinder and that was hard enough to clean up by hand, I'd hate to try smoothing out a hollow that coarse.

That's pretty :) I have one already finished, just in case I don't get the other one I have in mind done in time. I'll post a pic as soon as I decide... oooohh the suspense is killin' me! :D

I don't know Coop personally but I've seen a lot of his excellent work... and if you've picked up a major knife magazine or book in the last ten years or so, so have you. He's one of the best. :thumbup:

Hi gentlemen, I'm looking to set up a raffle for a non-profit organization. (It will be one of my knives, with the money raised going to a NPO that recently got robbed.) I'm a little confused as to how to go about this and accept payment, keep everything transparent, etc. Or maybe it would be...

That's unfortunate. I tend to believe the church will be looked after in way or another. PM sent.
