That is interesting, very interesting. Thank you Ed and Dan. Ed, I really appreciate you “breaking down” the process. I have some 5160 and some 01 that I could “play” with. As luck would have it, my neighbors own their own AI business and have some of those Dewar tanks. That being said, I...

What exactly is cryo treatment? Does anyone have information on the process? thanks, curtisk

I kind of figured there was already something out there, I just couldn't find it.

Hey Dee, check out Wayne Coe's tutorial on making a forge out of an old propane tank. Indian George has a tutorial on one from pipe. My new forge is (going to be) a combination of theirs and advice I got from Ed. I say going "to be" casue all of the material is there I just have to find time to...

great sheath Scott. Just out of curiousity, the "belt clip", what is it called and where do you find those? Perty dern slick! Our SWAT guys would be slobberring at the mouth.

thanks to each of you guys! Wayne, I'm fixin' to check out the "for sale" forum; IG, I will past the pick as soon as I'm done with it. It may be awhile as I have many "honey dos" to accomplish first. My wife's first name is Thelma and I call her the "Therminator" if that tells you anything. :)

Gentlemen, I am looking to build a new forge for damascus forging. The forge I am considering is based loosely on Indian George's design for the burner and blower assembly with Mr. Caffrey's suggestions on size, type of blower, and liner material. Where I am having some difficulty is locating...

Keith and Mike, thank you gentlemen. great information!

I have aquired some pre-ban ivory. I suspect it is similiar to working bone but I'm looking for advice. Any tips and pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, CK
