    Ideas for 1/2 hp motor

    If it works don't trash it. Blow the dust out everytime you use it. When ( and if ) it wears out, then upgrade.

    Which metal cuting band saw to buy?

    Don't waste money on a blade welder. They can be silver soldered with great success and very easy to do. There is a great video on YouTube by Tom Griffen. Look under "Tom's Techniques" for the step by step tutorial.

    The "Unigrinder" WIP - another KISS knife grinder concept

    Why not just machine the rims out of solid 2" thick aluminum, rather than casting? That diameter could be swung on a Bridgeport mill with a rotary table pretty easily.

    Slipjoint Liner Mill Relief Fixture

    I have done similar set-ups using a spring type hold down. You could apply pressure to the top with a long bar or even a piece of wood attached to the center of your pivot point with a screw. This would give more friction while moving about your axis, and you would be sure that the work couldn't...

    Carving a Bowie Handle

    Ed, I really like the texturing. Is it done with carving gouges, or a burr in a rotary tool? Nice work!

    2"x72" Belt Grinder

    Finally got back to the grinder this weekend. The last 2 weekends were spent dealing with frozen pipes at my camp in northern Vermont, unbelievable winter! I finished up the tension and tracking assemblies. For the tension I have a heavy spring inside the white tube, the clevis at the top and...

    In my business, the best way to control backlog, is to bring about a price increase.

    Stabilization at home??

    There is a great video on YouTube by Jackloreknives. He lives in the UK and imports Cactus Juice, but his method is far more intensive than anyone else I have heard from. He bakes the blocks to bring the moisture content down as close to zero as he can. Then he puts them in the chamber with CJ...

    Stabilization at home??

    I have quite a few different species. The largest amount at the moment is probably French Walnut, maybe enough for a couple hundred blocks or so. Few dozen spalted maple, probably a few dozen crotch mahogany, a couple logs of Gaboon Ebony, a log of Pink Ivory. Lacewood, Boxwood, Rosewood...
