I'm in. Thanks for the chance! BJ

Murph, The knife does mean a lot to me, so thanks. Unfortunately I have not been down there in 7-8 years because most of my family in the area has moved, passed away, etc. so I am hoping I can find something here. Thanks, BJ

First a little background into this knife. My Uncle Tommy was like a Grandfather to me because both of my grandfather's died when I was young(2 and 6). He was the one who always took me hunting, fishing, etc. He collected knives, mainly Case, but had some customs also. When I was 15 he was...

Yeah the shop thing comes from my Dad and Grandfather. My grandfather was a carpenter so his tools where his livelihood. He cleaned them after every use. My dad is the same way. All the tools get cleaned before they get put up. If he walked into my garage right now he would would say I...

No dust for me. As weird as this is I try to shop vac after I do any work in the garage because we still go in and out of it all the time and when the door goes up and down with all the dust it creates an even bigger mess. Just one of those strange quirks I guess. BJ

Thanks fellas!

Here is mine. Variable Speed KMG with 1.5 hp motor. I have the flat platen setup and an 8" contact wheel. The next purchase will be the small wheel attachment.

Well, I finally took some pictures of the new KMG. I also took some pics of the rest of my work area. I have one wall of my garage basically set aside for knife making and tools. I keep trying to put my wife's car outside but she keeps warning that I'm going to come home and my tools are...

I've got a block of zebrawood that I'm getting ready to cut up into scales. The block is big enough where I can cut a pair of scales off the end grain and still get 5" scales from the rest of the block. Will the end grain scales be susceptible to splitting and cracking or will they hold up...

Sorry to hear about the knife. I imagine it ruined what would have been an enjoyable show. BJ

I have joined the SC group. I live in Anderson, SC. It is located about 15-20 miles from Clemson University. Thanks, BJ Sharp

I got the GFCI outlet switched out today and the grinder runs fine. I will get pictures up tomorrow. Thanks for your help. BJ

I appreciate the help folks. Hopefully I can get this fixed tomorrow. BJ

OK fellas I need your expert help. My KMG arrived late yesterday and I wired everything up this afternoon. I have the 1.5 hp Leeson motor and the KBAC VFD. I got all the jumpers set, motor wired, power wired, etc. My garage outlets are all on one circuit and the first outlet in the garage is...

Welcome. I live in the Upstate. I am sure you will find all the help you can get here. BJ

Thanks for the heads up on knifekits.com. The kit Eric posted is exactly what I am looking for. I appreciate it. BJ

Bill, I just got belts from Tracy in UPS today. I am looking more for someone's thoughts on a kit that they have used. If that is one of Tracy's kits even better. I don't mind supporting a guy that gives us knife junkies a place to hang out:) BJ

I am new to this knife making gig, but I want to try making a liner lock folder kit. I would like one that scales can be put on. I don't want to spend a ton of money on this as it is very much an experiment. Does anybody have any suggestions as to a kit they have used in the past? I am not...

Congrats to the winners and thanks to Jeff for the chance. BJ

Hellgap, I'd be glad to take those wheels and attachment off your hands for the right price. BJ
