Nice piece of mammoth. I hate the smell when working it, though. Makes me gag. :15:

I'm not sure I understand your reasons for "pulsing." Would you mind explaining that a bit? Also, I think you will get better results using TSP as an electrolyte...

Here's mine, well, rather the one I had. It was a HF mini mill, which I totally broke downm stripped, and modified from the ground up with better bearings, and drive belt mod. I hand-dressed the ways and installed new worm screws so it moves like butter. I also reworked the electrics, and...

I agree, but make sure its decent quality. Lots of crap out there.

I just used anything in the low-400's and that always seemed to work well for me. I was never too fussy about it - I just used what looked nice and would take the finish I was after.

That is one fine folder, sir.

Nice to have an advocate, John! 2thumbs You are right on about the quick release. I feel that it very quickly puts the plates in contact with the blade. Plate quenching is awesome for finicky steels like 154CM or ATS34. For me, it kind of takes the dummy factor out of the equation. It also...

Nice gun you will have there, Bruce. This is the kind of stuff I am getting into now. Hey have you been here: http://www.homegunsmith.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi I hang out there a lot. Watch out... its a dangerous place! It might just ruin you for anything else. ;)

Yes indeed it does feel like old times, and I do feel good about this. I forgot how cool you guys are. I forgot how good friends you guys can be.

Oh I see how it's gonna be! :rolleyes: I'll have to admit I am a little out of practice with the insults, but I am sure I will return to true form after seeing you two scruffy bastids again. :D

Long-time, no-see some of you guys! This forum is going to be cool I think. Speaking of st...thinking... I have been thinking that I could make a few tribal-style blades to get myself some funds for new equipment. I have a friend that once said he had a Peter Wright anvil I could borrow...

Larry, IG, good to see you guys here. It'd be better to see you both in person. John B. and Bruce Bump too! Hey Bruce, you still make those kickass gun-knife combos?

Since my sabbatical from knifemaking, I have been building guns and gunsmithing. I just rebuilt this AK47 from a Romanian AK. Without going too much into it, there is a federal law called 922r that states imported AKs need to have a certain amount of USA-made components. My next project...

Does LV check or crack?

I'm Jeff Higgins. I used to be a knifemaker. A lot of you know me already. I left knifemaking a few years ago, and took a real job. It was probably the biggest mistake of my life. Everything went downhill from there. I was making some good cash, and had some benefits. That part was good...

You gave that crazy portugee his own forum? Holy crap, we've had it now. :rolleyes:
