I've got a coffee can with a half dozen boogered up flat-ground (or attempted) blades. I've heard it's the toughest grind to master and my experience bears that out. When I commit to offering the flat grind on a regular basis I'm going to for sure go with the Bubble Jig to help me get it down...

Good to see you on board, Connor. I'm in Lewistown myself, let us know if you have any questions. We only bite when we're hungry.

I'm in the market for a good vise, or two. Parallels are already on the list. I'm going to be cutting some fullers soon and I'll post up my progress with it.

That is fantastic. The dark colors all match perfectly. Wow!

Excellent! Good shot, Josh!

Here are my thoughts on your points. 1. A bushcraft knife is a lightweight, compact knife that's either constantly on your person so you have it when you need it outdoors, or is convenient enough to be packed in your regular gear so it's available. 2. I've heard a scandi is great as...

He's got a pretty good sense of style. Getting better all the time. I'm getting busier and busier on the "fine knives" end of things and having someone up and coming where I was 3 or 4 years ago helps me focus on the fit, finish, and clean lines of my own work.

Here's a pair of daggers my shop hand, Lonnie Bulloch patterned and collaborated with me on. He did the fit up, grinds, and shaping while I tuned the finish somewhat and completed the sheaths. They have his maker's mark and are the 6th and 7th he's completed. Blades are 440C stainless with a 3...

At 1280x960 and ~350kb it's still doing it. However, now I notice on mouseover at the exclamation point that I'm exceeding a quota. I suppose it's time to get my Photobucket loaded and start linking them from there?

...I let my camera shoot on auto and this is what it does to me. Grr. Thanks, Tracy.

pretty good sized, 4608 x 3456 and around 3.83 megabytes for one of them.

I've been uploading photos to threads for awhile now and haven't had any trouble. This go around I'm getting a red exclamation point in the "For Sale" fixed blade forum. Any thoughts?

There are a variety of the electrolyte etching solutions available, several from USA Knifemaker. IMG Electromark provides their own list of them as well - what I'm using right now is the 110A from usaknifemaker.com and it's doing just fine. I'm curious about the finer applications of the ones...

This is good to see, David. My wife and I are homeschoolers as well and my oldest will be in the shop with me in a year or two.

Laurence - Those are fantastic! Is the hardware from Woodcraft?

That is a gorgeous knife and some very nice materials. S90V is coming to be one of my favorites after making a set of leatherworking knives from it.

It takes a lot to set me back in my chair and this did it. I'm shocked.

Wow. Your site has got to be the nicest I've seen so far. Nice and tight, loads fast, smooth buttons - I really like, and you've got some awesome work to show off too.

Thanks, Don. The power down is just an absolute "take your hand off of it and let it feed" instead of a calibrated screw pitch feed then? Good - I'd hardly ever have use for something like that, and I've had some fairly big or deep holes done for associated work where it would have been great...

I'm going to clean it up, lube it, spin the chuck a few times and then wait for some money to appear so I can buy a few milling cutters. It has a selection of collets and the aforementioned chuck already. I'm shooting for something compatible with the 304 stainless I use. Then I'll give some...
