James, Didn't give it a thought, I got a kick out of it. Have a Happy Thanksgiving

James, Sometimes my humor comes across the wrong way so I've been going slow till I get to know some people on the forum. I'll loosen up a bit. Thanks for your input.

Chad, I hope to work up to damascus eventually but right now I can't even bring myself to use the one damascus knife I bought, much less grind on one. Graveyard also mentioned an orbital sander. I'll have to give that a try and get a good flat block to finish up with. Thanks,

Ok James, got it. Thanks

I'm glad you asked this question. Not to the handle stage yet, but will need to know this stuff when I do get there. Looking forward to the answers.

Thanks guys, Pieter, I'm not familiar with PU blocks, where in the States should I look for the hard & soft blocks? Keeping with flat grinding for now so one less factor to deal with. In fact I won the Bubble Jig GAW recently and hope it helps my grinding considerably when it gets here...

BossDog, Thanks for the info, I'll print this out and put it over my work bench. Franklin, Thanks also, using a file as a sanding block sounds good and flat. I'll give it a try.

Cut out and rough ground a blade today. Started sanding and it looks worse than when I started. I'm resigned to using alot of sandpaper, and I'm working on my patience but it's a little frustrating when you're excited about a project but the more you work on it the more it looks like...

Chuck, I kept coming back to look at this one. Very Nice. Still saving for a grinder, so I had to just look this time. Good that it sold. Now maybe I can move on.

Thanks guys. Murph, Looking forward to learning anything I can. (well maybe not testing the blade temp like Ironwolf described, Purell anyone?) We'll see you then.

Good to know, Thanks Cliff

Fred, Thank you for this great give-away. I'm looking forward to using the Bubble Jig. Hopefully I haven't had time to develop many bad habits yet. My wife has already requested some new knives for the kitchen so this is perfect. Again, thank you very much. I'll PM my info.

BossDog, I'm guessing SouthWest Pennsylvania Let me know if I win anything.

Thanks Mike, That's very helpful.

Thanks for that info. I should be set up soon to try my first solo blade.

Thanks for the chance, #317 please.

Related in a round about way, A while back a lady from the next town over had been bitten by a bobcat while trying to save a puppy. The doc wanted her to have a rabies series and nobody had any in the county. I checked with her insurance and they assured me they would cover the meds. I...

Ok, I'll give it a shot next weekend.

Ok plan B Here's the next option I could find. http://www.amazon.com/grit-4-5-Sanding-Sleeve-Assortment/dp/B003DL36MW Only one grit per pack but the have different packs available. I called the nearest HD - about 50 miles away, they are out right now but next time I get down that...

My wife wants to know what I'm laughing at.
