My grinder shipped today and should be here on Wednesday, a week earlier than I was told. Nice job from Rob at Beaumont!!! Now I just hope my belts from Tracy get here soon;). BJ

Really nice looking folder. From the materials used this should be a nice EDC and should hold up well over time. BJ

Nice work. Those are some spiffy folder sheaths.

I'm in. Thanks for the chance! BJ

Are theses the cheaper wheels that Tracy sells or the Beaumont wheels? I am interested to see if the less expensive wheels hold up as I am thinking about purchasing them. BJ

Nice to see you here Ken. PM sent.

If I am not happy with the Zirc belts this time around I will give the blaze belts a try the next go round. I imagine they will help me get adjusted to the grinder if they don't cut quite as fast because I have been working by hand and with a 4x36 belt sander. BJ

Congratulations. I am looking forward to mine arriving in about two weeks! Now get to grinding, we want to see some knives. BJ

I ordered belts this afternoon. I ordered the Zirc belts for metal removal. i will give the blaze a try next time. Thanks for the tip. BJ

Well now the hard part begins. Waiting............................ I ordered the KMG 1.5 hp VS with the flat platen and a 8" contact wheel. Now I've got to slide over to USA Knifemaker and order some belts to grind with. Should be here in about two weeks. BJ

Welcome from another Carolina boy! BJ

Congratulations and I am glad she is healthy. We just had our first daughter 1/29/10 so I can appreciate what you are going through. BJ

JC, I appreciate the welcome. I have seen your posts over on BF and knew you where a Carolinian but didn't realize you are so close. The baby is doing good, but priorities sure do change. I am working on getting a workspace set up in my garage right now so I can get a little more serious...

Thanks for the responses so far. When I order belts from Tracy I may go ahead and this to my order. Jeff, Is this something you made yourself? It looks like it would be very accurate. BJ

I am looking to purchase a knifemakers scribe and like the looks of the one listed at USA Knifemaker. What else is available out there and what would you guys recommend? Thanks BJ

I am fairly new to the knife making world. I have been reading here and on BF for a few months now and decided to join. I have finished one knife and have a couple more planned. I have a wife and a daughter, that is six weeks old, so my time is limited. I live in upstate SC in Anderson...
