Very very nice!

You betcha!!! :biggrin:

Mr. Svinarich, you have to call Jeff to get that info. Trust me, it will be well worth the call. Your initial response will be disbelief which we be promptly followed by the phrase "you have got to be kidding", and then disbelief again. Curtis

Timy, It has a texture all of its own; it is closer to linen though. I think you could probably do things with this stuff that you couldn’t do as well with phenolics, such as carving. I have not tried that yet though. As for toughness I would rank it on the same level. The stuff is very hard...

Timy, I use quite a bit of it and have come to really like it. The only supplier that I know of is Jeff Petzke at Jephco. http://www.jephcosupply.com/home.html I have attached some photos for you to look at. In the tactical knife photo the knife on the bottom has warwood/fauxcarta. In the...

Very very cool!

Thank you Bruce! What an awesome tutorial!!!

I am very happy to see that you are back at it Ed!

Thanks Bruce! I now have part of my milk shake backed up into my sinuses!:biggrin:

I'm with Bruce, machinist screw bits (stubby bits) do not flex and are normally constructed of higher quality materials. Also, I know just about all of the lower priced drill presses are made in china but they do produce different grades of presses and HF is on the bottom. You may want to...

You are correct. I am not sure why they left that part in there. I was a bit nervous with the whole thing .

This is so awesome Bruce!!!

I'll have to check it out!

Very very nice!

Thanks to all for the kind words! Bruce, sorry bro. Laurence, I nearly burst into tears (laughter) when I read the part about you setting yourself on fire. That was one of the main reasons I started wearing Dickies. I used to wear the “off” brand overalls and after the 3rd time of setting myself...

Williamson-Dickie “I’m a Knifemaker” commercial. I thought I would share this with you gents. Just to clarify, I started blacksmithing 15 years ago and have been making knives for around the last five. And my anvil had to be placed that distance from the forge. I give a lot of the credit to my...

I am not sure about the NSF rating, though the addition of 1 cup of milk can raise the calorie count to 120. Franklin, I just sent you a message via your facebook account. Curtis

I think it is just as rigid as g10, though I have not run any tests with it. On a "textured/scalloped handle you will notice the lack of that micro fiber feel you get with g10 or Micarta, and that would be my only "complaint" about this stuff. This is straight from Jeff on what the stuff is...

I'm not sure, but Jeff at Jephco said I wouldn't believe it if he told me.

I thought I would share a recent find with you gents. I decided to try some new handle material called “fauxcarta”. You know that funky smell that g10 and Micarta (yes, you can smell it even through a mask) emit when worked, well this stuff doesn’t have it. The texture is a bit different and it...
