Since Tracy doesn't seem to carry the 2x42 belts, what other suppliers offer them at decent prices. The only place I've seen them is at supergrit.com. Do they even make the blaze belts in the 2x42 size?

I'm confused as to why you all are saying that motor won't have enough torque. It's a DC motor, so torque is continuous across the rpm range, and it's a 1/2 horse compared to the 1/3 horse for the craftsman motor. How do you know it won't have enough torque?

Good idea Ern! I think you will find that there is a chemical in that wood hardner that will eat any rubber and plastic stuff over time. That has been my experience with it anyway. I would kink the line with a clamp and disconnect the pump to save it. Eventually you will probably need to...

I have some of that damascus, and it does have voids every now and then, and it's really soft and doesn't hold an edge well. Oh..and the sticker does say Pakistan. It seems to etch fine though, so I guess that's a positive. I'll probably be using some for a display/prototype for the...

Thanks for the encouragement. It was a downer for a little bit, but I think I've made the best of the situation. I can't wait to see the WIP! 2thumbs

Well given the way things have been going lately with big money household emergencies (dryer/water heater/car), a NWG build or KMG clone build were out of the picture for quite some time until I build the emergency kitty back up to where it should be. It's so bad, I've even put my NWG plans and...

For a "tactical" knife to have damascus bolsters? Too blingy? Thinking Carbon Fibre scales with damascus bolsters, and a black oxide blade. What say you?

635 Thanks

LUckily I beat my wife home and got to stare at my package from Tracy of beautiful aluminum goodies before I got yelled at.

Now that is great info. Thanks so much! I will not go with the durablanket and will pay to have the Kaowool shipped to me.

Your probably right! :D

I did! That's the worst part. I just use it through paypal since it's so quick and easy! Anyway...I really can't wait to look at my wheels tonight. My wife will totally think I've gone off the deep end.

I had considered casting the chamber out of refractory, similar to how it looks like Paragon does their kilns, but I think the bricks are the way to go. I did want to put the blanket around it, because this will be in the garage, and any safety factor I can build in to prevent a fire is going to...

I would think switching the compass and the firesteel would be much more comfy to have around the neck. Is there a particular reason why you couldn't do it that way? Forgot to add, either way it's a nice setup!

And here I was hoping you were going to make one for us to buy!

I ordered from Tracy on Monday, USPS picked up the package 3/2 at noon, and I still have yet to see it. Why call it priority mail if it's not your priority to get it to me? :confused: I'm sorry, but this is just the latest in the longest line of things. I shipped out 20 packages in the past...

Nice idea!

I plan on sending out my first few blades for heat treat, but after that I plan on building the heat treat oven from the brittish blades plans. I'll be winding my own kanthal wire into elements. I found a guy on ebay selling the 16 gauge Kanthal A-1 for 9.99 for 25 ft. Has anyone found a...
