Ran late with work today and missed the getting mine shipped today it will go out Monday.

Ernie, Give us a run down on what you are doing when you are laying up and doing your weld. I will do what I can to assist but need to know your process in order to make suggestions.

Got my PM, mine will ship on Monday.

Very cool Bubba

Good looking knife and sheath Mark, nothing to add that has not already been said. Dang I still need to come out to your place, you going to the OKCA show?

According to the numbers on it is 126 pounds, if it was I, I would get it even though she is pretty beat it is still serviceable. Old Cast anvils you do not see the the stone weight chiseled in and Cast only gives you the first 2 numbers with all the cast anvils I have seen like my Vulcan 300...

Hi Ernie, Never made it to NY closes I have been was South Carolina but if I get out that way I will be sure to look you up and thanks for the compliment on my damascus, that is some nice damascus you posted above as well. Your always welcome to stop by here if your out in the Pacific North...

The NC Whisper forges are good for making horseshoes or general blacksmithing, the problem with these forges for forge welding is the atmosphere is to oxidizing and the flame blast right on your work causing massive amounts of scale and the are real bad about hot and cold spots another thing is...

Well someone has to do it ;) LOL This is why K&G needs to know they are potentially a bigger squeaky wheel than us little knife makers

Thanks Laurence, Yep I have the household stuff, those squirrel, chatter marks are driving me nuts. I can not wait to finish up using the belts I have so I can do a final clean up. Did you let K&G know their belts did the same with the crude? This is going to be hard to change belts as Blaze...

Sign me up Ernie.

Just amazing Bruce

Not sure how I missed this one Bruce but dang nice to see another farrier banging out a blade, hope he makes more in the future.

Thanks Laurence I have some of that just did not want to use anything on the rubber wheels that may harm the rubber.

Not sure how I missed this thread and it has been driving me nuts wondering were this black crude has been coming from, not only is it on my platen but it is all over my contact wheels and my aluminum tracking wheel. Any of you have it on your contact wheels? If so how are you cleaning it...

Mike if it was me on that thin of stock I would just grind your bevels afterwards. Many things can cause them to warp, probably the most common is not grinding the same on each side and if you use your dies you will most likely have the same problem. Just use new Ceramic belts to put your...

Don't have one here either, I have a garage still door I open along with a another door on the other side and I get a lot of cross breeze through the shop. Plus my smithy is temporarily in my machine shop area but I plan on moving it all to the other end of my shop building, soon as I can tear...

Excellent advise from Ed, I agree cable is not for beginners and chain is much more difficult. A smith by the name of Jim Wilson known to many as Paw Paw died from burning off galvanizing in a forge, so don't do it. If you want to read about it here is a link...

Thanks Guys, that Ash is truly amazing and looks way better in person, unfortunately I only have enough for 3 more knives :(. Jim well I had 2 huge slabs of this ash but only a few pieces of it was like this and I have not seen anything like it since. I am on the hunt for more, if I find some I...

This was forged out of some of Don Hanson's W2. This blade has been clay coated and polished to 2500 grit to bring out the hamon. The Bolsters, domed pins and thong tube are 416 stainless steel. The scales are stabilized spalted Oregon Ash with lots of black line. This knife has a good amount...
