Anthony, Give me a call and come over. We will figure it out. I bet we can get this squared away in a short time. I do agree and have said many times, to do the weak hand grinding first. Remember to look at the sparks when grinding, they tell you if you get out of the hollow or if you are...

Thanks guys. OK, I am a regular guy that enjoys helping people more than about anything else. Vary rarely does anyone visit my shop that they do not go home with something. I have spent a lot of time in my life trying to help. I love seeing the light bulb come on. My entire childhood...

I am in for #57

Like Bill I had one without the other components. I just ran it as a blown forge and it was great.

Hey guys, I called Gracie yesterday to confirm her mailing address. The buyer of the shop has picked it all up already. I told her about the donations that I have collected from you guys and the first thing she said was; "Why would they do that?" I once again explained that the knife makers of...

Heather, Tell him to take it easy and not rush the recovery. Hope the entire family is doing OK and the recovery is complete. Tell him we all send our best. Thanks for letting us know. Bob

My guess would be no. The acid will etch the steel all by itself and there is no need for power. If it soaks under the stencil, you would get a big blob and not a logo.

Steve, I am not a member of THAT zipper club but have quite a few zippers myself. I hate hearing you are facing this but love the attitude. My father-in-law (Greatest man I ever met) Pete Lozano had this surgery many years ago. The big thing I remember about it was he had a pillow he held...

Damascus making materials.

Looks good, I have made a few myself.

Like I said, I am no expert. Just shared what I knew which was a minor amount. Now it looks like there is more value in them than I thought. Sounds like something worth pursuing.

I am certainly not an expert but I know a little about antler. The inside is soft, therefore you will have difficulty using it for slabs that are thick due to the soft center. If you used it for thin scales like a folder you should be fine. I have never heard of anyone stabilizing it. If you...

If you can do it, DO IT. First of all learning something you don't already know is NEVER a bad thing. Second, it would benefit you greatly to find out the things you need to track and how to track them for not only determining your profits but for your taxes as well. Third, any grants you can...

You can make a second worksheet with all that stuff listed and have the total auto-populate the MISC spot on this form. Don't forget about Electricity, mail costs for ordering materials, gas to go get stuff, shoes to keep your wife happy so she does not get mad when you are in the shop...

Thanks Anthony. I am just saying in general that it is not intended to be a pity party. I am glad you were happy with what you learned. You know I like to help. I may be contacting you soon about heat treating a stainless blade since I don't have the heat treat oven built yet for myself (too...

I do not want this to be a pity party for me. I was just curious how people in my situation are dealing with major medical issues so I will know what to do in the event something big happens. My daily struggles are something I have to deal with and not posted here to get sympathy but to...

Good to hear the headaches are gone. IU did not know they could make them go away. I told the doctor I had headaches all the time and she said; "A head like that is supposed to ache." Anyway, glad you are on the way to being free of that pain. Bob

Definitely a man admired by all. As he said in his video, he left a good body of work behind. His style has had a large influence on what a knife should look like to me. Sad to know he is gone.

Thanks for the replies so far. Like I said, I am not looking for sympathy, I just happen to be in this situation and not ashamed to say so. I am sure there are others here that are probably in a worse situation. There must be options that I am unaware of and maybe someone out there has already...

To all that have donated, I just got the clearance for the outstanding donation that processed kinda weird and took a while, So unless someone else wants to donate I will go ahead and transfer the funds to my checking account and send her a check. We are currently at $327.08. Wayne Coe sent his...
