I'm in, thanks for the GAW -David

That one is a real "female dog". -David

I had brain surgery in august on '09 and have had chronic pain & neuropathy ever since. I picked up knifemaking as a hobby to help pass the time. I too have had to learn the hard way that your body is not what is once was. Do what you can in the shop when you can and take joy in the little...

I also have quite a bit of wood laying around and have thought about using it in handles. But my reservation has always been about how to seal it and then the longevity of it after. So I will definitely be interested in seeing your results. -David

Now that a knife. What is the coating on it? -David

I'd go with a hunter. As someone living in rural NC, a useful knife is usually much more appealing. I know hunting is a big thing in my area and at $2 a pop you will definitely appeal to that crowd as well. Bowies are nice and appeal to the collector in all of us. But with a hunter you are...

I'm a newbie maker but I really like the sound of it. PM sent -David

I use a similar bandsaw in my shop and have tried to do exactly what you are talking about. My success has been minimal at best. I use the "metal cutting blade" from HD. I believe it is a 3/8" 18tpi. It doesn't work the greatest for splitting the slab, but its all I have. You just have to...

I'm in, Thanks John. -David

Try http://www.speedymetals.com/default.aspx There not local in my area either but they want a reasonable price for the steel. Shipping has always been fair and thats with me living on the east coast. -David

Thats how I am making a christmas present for my dad. Personally folders are far to complex for me to design from scratch at the moment. Hopefully in the future though. -David

I'm in and I'll take #13. Thanks for keeping these giveaways. David

Thanks Fred. I'll take #13 -David

Apparently the sensors are fairly tight but I was referring to a rough cutting file not an illegitimate child. -David

As some one who has only made a couple, but entirely by hand. Yes, a @@@@@@@ is good to start and take alot of material off. Once I get the basic grind, I switch to a second cut to get "closer in." And then bring it fairly close with a smooth. With all of them you only get a 3-4 good draws a...

I'm in. I'll take my lucky #13. -David

I am another newbie, still trying to get all the machinery together. I started with a drill press and made a makeshift disc sander. Files and sandpaper are how I am currently doing most of my work. I got alot of my files from Satco Supply...

I am definitely interested. I'm still itching to try the stuff. David

When I was building my canoe, I always dealt with raka epoxy, http://www.raka.com/. They were always very help. You may like to try a slower setting epoxy. This has less heat build up, since it has more time to disperse. It will also give you more time to work with things and use thinker...
