Day 2 Not much to show today. I added another layer of Satanite. The first layer was about the consistency of a thick soup. The 2nd layer that I added today was about as thick as pudding. I applied it in a thin coat also, but thicker than the first. Here's a few tips I've learned working...

No it's not just you. Looks like the photo's have been lost. Hopefully Boss will find them or add new ones. Although I don't make folders currently, I've always wondered how it's done. I'd like to see a WIP!

Okay, I didn't start taking pics at first because I had no intention of making this a WIP! But since Boss asked for 'em, here it is. (plus it doesn't hurt that he's willing to put us in a drawing for some goodies) I want to start off by saying that this started off as a hair-brained idea of...

Congratulations to you Randy and to Randy Jr. However, that poor girl has no idea what she's getting into!!!

Nice looking blade! Did I miss how thick the blade was? Congrats on the buck also. 148 inches of bone is nothing to sneeze at!

That's a great looking knife Eric., but that sheath is out of this world! Did you make it?

This is my first one. It was only about a year ago. Files, sandpaper and a piece of oak board from Lowes. The blade was suppose to be wider, but I screwed up and had to file the bad spot out which made the blade much narrower than what I wanted. The steel is 1/8th 1095 that I heated to...

I can only imagine the carbon footprint that fat guy is leaving with all those high carbon knives! Someone call the EPA and Al Gore quick!! J/k'ing Congrats Eric, looks like you have a fine set up! You do have to share more pics of your blades though!

I would snatch that up before they could hang up the phone. I bought the same model brand new a little over a year ago. In fact, I think I got the very last one in Tulsa. Home Depot use to sell them and I called everyone in the area and only one store had one left. I immediately drove over and...

Congratulations to you Mr. Coffee! I've never met you but I've seen your work and it's no wonder why you're in that book!

I must be the odd man out. I guess old habits are hard to break. I come to the main forum and then scroll down to each forum I want to visit. Looks like I need to check out this "new post" button. It's just that I'm afraid I'll spend even more time on here than I do now!

Funny thing with Bocote, at least for me, is that I'm never that taken with it when it's in the slab state. But once I see it on a knife, then I'm crazy about it. One of my favorite woods to work with also. BTW, Mike, love that knife! Flows well and looks really comfy to use!

My favorite use for my knives is for turning big critters into bite sized pieces. But in all honestly, they get more work cutting the normal stuff a knife is asked to cut...cord, wood, paper, cardboard, plastic wrap, dinner, etc. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I currently don't have a knife I...

I'm sure you all have heard about the alternatives, but in case you haven't, just thought I'd throw them out. Not sure if they'll ship north of the border or not, but they are a better to work with that Heat Bath from what I've heard and experienced. Houghton and Maxim oil both have good...

The link is broken for your image. I think it's suppose to be "http://kniferights.org/ultimatesteel" instead of "http://kniferights.org/ulimatesteel"

Those are awesome sheaths Bruce! Thanks for sharing! Okay, since Griz asked a question, I'm gonna ask one also. On this sheath, there's some stitching under the mouth of the sheath. What is that for? Wouldn't the liners stitching at the mouth be hidden when you fold the liner over? That one...

Glad you liked it Dan. Griz, you can see a few flaws in the new sheath, but overall it turned out way nicer than the first one. I love leather work, but it doesn't love me. I'm currently working on a sheath for a knife that was given away at Christmas with a kydex sheath. It's my biggest knife...

WoW, that's stunning! Did you do the beadwork as well? I've always thought I'd like to try my hand at that.

Here's an idea that you may have not thought of. You can buy blade blanks and finish them out your self. Ebay has a ton of them. A company called Premium Knife Supply sells them as do others. There are a lot of designs out there. Check 'em out - Knife Blanks on Ebay Your other option would be...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm not sure I'd want to send my wife and daughter to a Wal-Mart museum. They would probably never return! :) and if they did, I'm sure my wallet would be a lot lighter!! :noway:
