I have seen the "shadows " you talked about I have welded for about 10 years and have seen that plenty of times while heating up certian metals with a rose bud. I may just buld me a mini cheap forge for now for this knife.. So that I can get through everything and see what I need to improve on...

I do not have really anything I have a acetylene torch and a few map gas torches that is about it at this point. This is the first knife I have ever attemted. So I have got to this point bare bones I have a drill press a bench grinder and polisher in one and few files. I have just started...

I know I do not have the pin holes drilled yet still need to do alittle work to it and finish out the profile I have roughed the blade in going to make it look better and work just alittle more tomorrow at work. What is the best way to heat treat this? I have read the play by play on thread on...

uuuuummmmmm looks like a finger print smudge?

guess it would help to explain the magbase. HA you can you the mag base on your drill press to make sure that your bits are running true and that way you dont have a drill over drilling a hole (check the runnout). You can use them for any kind of fine movement you need if you need to push...

yes sir that is what you need.. I know it buy a 0-1 dial indicator most have 1" of stroke on them. Some have 1/2" but either will work for what you want. Both of them are 0-1 they will work great for what you are doing. If you can round up a magbase from ebay. You can find them pretty cheap

them some good looking ones.. great job. I have my first one roughed out.

buy the way i am just useing a bench grinder no belt sander yet. We have one at work i could use there may just wait untill monday and work on the blade

I have got the knife to here now what is the best way to hand grind the blade? Is it best to get it close and then hand file is what i would guess. I have read through the post with this excat kit just any pointers before i start would be great. Thanks Seider

I worked in a rock crusher for about 7years and we use to speed up our belts just buy changing the sheeves I would not see why it would not work with your grinder that you have. I intend on doing it to the one i have here will have to do some modifications to it but hey poor man has poor ways.

I am will work it in when i get it cut out if i was smart i would have shifted it all back about a half inch and I could have made the blade that much longer but i am going to try and make my boy he is 5 alittle one out of what i have left over. I have a vision of what i want now all that is...

What they all said is what I would check. I work at a machine shop I would go to ebay, msc.com or mrs.com and find you a cheap magbase with 0-1 dial indicator then you can see exaclly how much runout you have and check all your bits when you load them to make sure they are running good. I have...
