Welcome back Ernie! I was wondering where you "runn oft" to.

I am happy to hear things are looking up for you Bob! Curtis K

In case you very have problems with your forge’s PID or you really don’t mind reading the temp in Celsius, the Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/ac-dc-digital-multimeter-37772.html multi meter seems to work well. I don’t buy much of anything from them but this will work in a pinch and...

Howdy All! I was perusing some equipment in a fella’s shop (actually more of a museum) a couple of weeks ago and noticed a magazine on the floor: “Knives Illustrated” August 1999. I started reading the magazine and in the “Knife Knews” section they mention our very own Ed Caffrey putting on a...

I have read the tutorial and done as instructed and still can't get them to upload. I have posted photos before and I don't recall it being this difficult. I think there must be an error between the console and the chair. Suggestions anyone? Please be gentle.

Well, on the bright side at least I know I'm not alone out there. Thanks Gents!

Question: does anyone else get the “rippling” effect when using a 3/4" small wheel attachment? How in the heck can you avoid getting them?

thank you gents! Great info!

Looking for Tips, Advice, and Direction on Temp Control I recently purchased a used Johnson 102 blown gas forge. This thing is a jewel other than the time needed to get it up to working temp. I would like to install a temperature control unit but I do not want to buy the one from Johnson...

Ernie Grosptich by all means. Great guy, easy to work with.

Thank you Chris. That was number 4. Practice makes perfect or at the least a bit better than the last.

thank you gentlemen. I picked it up and I am now waiting for some help unloading it. The paint is still intact and looks new. I bet it wasn't used more than jsut a few times.

Anybody ever use a Johnson Gas forge? I bought a used one (in excellent condition) and was curious if any knifemakers use them. It is a Johnson 120 (best I can tell). Here is a photo.

I posted this photo in the hawk forum as well. This is a set I shipped out a couple of weeks ago. All metal construction with axis scales. The hawk haft is regular ole schedule 80. I tested the strength of the hawk head/schedule 80 combo by beating the poo out of an old dead post oak tree. The...

This is a set I shipped out a couple of weeks ago. All metal construction with axis scales. The caper is actually on the "knives of Alaska" caper. I made the caper thicker wider and longer which seems to be an improvement on the original design. Steel: 5160 Christopher, thanks again for the...

Done!

WOW! My goodness, I never dreamed I would get sooooo much info at all once! Thank you gentlemen! I must go soak my head now to reduce the information overload! :)

Thanks for the tip and pointing me in the right direction James!

I have had repeated inquiries about creating a knife with saw teeth on the spine. I really like the design of the teeth on the red scorpion knife. They look to be sharp and effective for cutting through bone. Have any of you gents ever done this?

gentlemen, I am calling upon your seemingly endless supply of wisdom yet again. I was following AW Stovall's post on hot bluing and noted the comments about cold rust bluing. What is the best way to do cold rust bluing and what formulas do you use? thank you! Curtis
