Just curious, what purpose are you using this knife for? It must be something pretty severe for lexan to "chip/crack too easily".... Are you sure it was actually lexan?.....plexiglass and lexan are two different things...lexan is a brand name... I saw a demo where 3/8" lexan will withstand a .38...

I can't see any of the pics....is there something I am doing wrong?

Kevin, I'm new to knife making and I think most of my blades are probably going to be larger fixed blades in 5160, 52100, 1095 or O-1...after reading your post, I was checking out the McMaster Carr site and they have 2 different quench oils...an 11 second and a 28 second....which would you...

I have been trying to resist, I really have....but I just can't help myself......:60: Maybe your Love-less nuts wouldn't fall off if they were Love-more nuts! :biggrin: Ok, ok...going to my room now for punishment... :34::34: Oh yeah....nice save....

Nice work! Keep it up!

Steve, the wire from the grinder to the ground didn't work because the static is building up within your body..not the grinder...kinda like that old high school science contraption that made a girls long hair stand out straight....you are most likely wearing some sort of rubber soled shoes or...

Looks really nice.

Here you go Steve. They actually have a few models to choose from. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103245 They use them because the small jolt from static electric can fry a mother board in a heartbeat....

Steve, you can probably get one of the grounding "bracelets" at Radio Shack. It's a pretty common item for people who work on computers.

Looks really nice Fred, and really handy in about a thousand different ways too.

Very nice!

Ok Wayne, I know we talked about this briefly, but do you have any info on direct drive with a 6 inch drive wheel? I'm seriously loving this grinder! I will post pics of it maybe tomorrow or so.

I've thought about you quite a bit the last couple of days Fred. Glad to see you are back. The wife and I had some sad times much like yours several years ago. Continued thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear this Fred. My condolences and prayers being sent.

I'll take 829 Thanks Fred!

Congrats Danny! I'm in for the next round. BTW Mark, I received the curly redwood and curly hickory yesterday. Beautiful stuff Mark! :thumbup: The wife thought the redwood was "funkamadellicly pretty" when she saw the grain move and shimmer in the light. :s11779::laugh:

Not sure if you have started it again this week, but just in case, I'm in.:o

Thanks Fred!:) I actually haven't put the cutting edge on it yet. I'm gonna do that after I get the sheath done. For some reason the tang and blade look thicker in the pics than they actually are. The piece of O1 that I started with was just under 1/8 inch thick so the blade is actually...

Excellent tutorial! :35: Hope I can make something that looks that nice one of these days.:)
