Congratulations guys; can't wait to see what you do with it! Steve, thanks for the opportunity.

It's a heckuva lot prettier than the one I built. I really like the work rest.

Okay. I'm in and I'll partner with #2.

Annoying as heck, isn't it? I try (I'm not always successful) to do as Tracy says, move fast, but also keep moving and keep the pressure light. I have a fixture that helps keep me square to the small wheel and I have to be careful or I'll hang up and create a really ugly divot.

Those are absolutely gorgeous, Butch!!

I don't think I've made perfect knife yet either. Some of mine hang on a nail over one of my benches to remind me not to make the same mistakes.:34: Some of them get used for design testing, changing the profile to experiment with blade or handle shapes.:les: I used a couple of them to...

Very cool; that is some gorgeous wood. Count me in, and thanks for the chance, Bill!

Hmmmm, baking soda. Have to try that. I recently got some red dykem in a felt tip applicator (I actually meant to order the blue) but it works just fine. I really like the applicator as opposed to the brush on. It goes on thinner, similar to the spray, but I don't waste any in overspray...

I feel your pain, brother. There are times when I fire up the grinder and dim the lights in the house. My problem is that my shop (garage) is on the same breaker with the front room of my house. Back when we used that for my son's room it was particularly bad because, of course, he would have...

I don't have one, but I've used one and the above pretty much sums it up. :cool:

According to the ads, Wally Hayes get his here: http://www.adamunlimited.com/ There seem to be plenty of other suppliers, but who am I to argue with Mr. Hayes! Murph, I see by his website that all his stock is tanned.

The stuff I have is some 3m Outdoor Tread tape. This is the first link I found to it on Google. Amazon.com: 3M 7635NA Safety-Walk Black Outdoor Tread 2-by-180-Inch Roll: Home…

I bought some grip tape from Home Depot and used that on the only knife I wrapped tsukamaki style. It's not a bad look and is definitely grippy, but it ain't same. YMMV.

And there I was feeling bad about not finishing anything in the last year. Glad to see you back at it. Looking good.

Looks pretty handy to me. Nice!

Thanks, everyone! :)

That about sums it up! 2thumbs

Nice forge, Murph! I gotta think that it's a lot more fun to fire that baby up in the winter, though. ;)

There's something to be said for a "simple elegance." That's a very well done and useful looking blade.2thumbs

That is just gorgeous, Frank. In a You-could-really-take-some-heads-off-with-this sort of way!:eek:
