X2... on what Rudy said. When my wife applied for disabilty it was not an overnight process. I would recommend doing what she did, keep a journal of your daily health struggles and get copies of all medical records. This is what my wife did, and she was granted disabilty the first time.

The worst year ever. Chemo, put the dog down yesterday, and now my inspiration passes. My thoughts go out to his family.

I know all to well the fear you have. I have only spent about 9 months of the last 24 working due to Chemo treatments, on top of this my wife has RA and Lupus. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that has allowed me to go on leave and front my portion of the Insurance benefit. I...

I am starting work on a 4th knife, this will have a guard. Where can I purchase the stainless or copper bar stock for this. I have looked at a number of knife supply houses and only see .125" stainless. While I am at it; can stainless and copper be soldered together for a layered look...

Thanks for the kind comments. The middle scew is a bit high, there is a slight arch to the spine and it follows that instead of a straight line. The thumb "jimping" is not sharp at all. I wanted to try something other than a checkering file, the drill bit I used in hind sight could have...

First complete knife: O1 Bit over 8" Natural G10 removable scales Thanks, David

And I thought this was a stupid question.2thumbs

Thanks I am using O1 for right now. I am comfortable with the process; I was not aware that an oven takes that long to cool. I guess it is just another excuse to buy something (every shop needs a toaster), or give my wife more counter space.:rolleyes:

My heat treat oven is due this week so I am getting myself ready for the big event. In many posted shop pics there is a toaster oven or in many HT threads a reference is made to a toaster oven or the kitchen oven. Why can't the HT oven be used for tempering? All help is greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if it is the same person but I sent a question to an ebay seller that is using "micarta" and "G10" to describe the same product. Their response is that in the future they will not be using Micarta to describe their product, and thanked me for steering them toward a correct...

Thanks Paul, I was at the Tandy store on Friday but I was not sure if the Sam Brown studs were the correct item. This weekend was my first attempt at sheath making, it does not have a keeper but my mind started working on the future.

Excellent! Thanks for the help.2thumbs

Maybe? If this is how they are used; yes. I borrowed the pic from the collectors forum, hope nobody minds.

I have noticed on some of the upper-end sheaths what appears to be a stud instead of a button on the keeper strap. I hate buttons. What are they called and where can I get them? Thanks, David

Thanks! I'll try for #156

Thanks for the generosity! Why is Maxwell House coffee only "good to the last drop?" What happens to that last drop?:confused:

I'm new but... I have a significant amount of experience with steel in other areas, if jigs and fixtures where not used in machine work you would never get past the protype stage of many things. Prototypes are hand-crafted and in many cases works of art. With out jigs and fixtures we would not...

Thanks for the oppotunity I'll give it a shot. 2thumbs

Can't live without one My wifes a vegetarian so it helps with the veggie bills. I do the heavy lifting (tilling, fencing, amending). She does the seeding and watering. And I do admit that everything tastes better than what CA. stores have been stocking.

KMG with more counter space. Chemo has slowed me down just bolted down this week.
