I started with a 4x4x14" square. My friend who started this journey at the same time as I welded two 8" pieces together. His did not work the same as mine. It definitely takes more work to use his. I gave him mine when I got my actual anvil. I cut a 7" piece off his and use it as my travel demo...

Nice! Has a very threatening look to it.

Glad your in Florida! We get to work year round here. Congratulations on getting back on the journey!

Ed I use one of these with alligator clips attached. Simple to use, portable, not too expensive. I have two of them...

When I made my first friction folder I got all my parts from USAKnifemaker.com. they have everything you need. Tim at Sugar Creek Forge has a good step by step on them on his YouTube channel. Check him out...

I sand to 600. Buff with Diamond white compound. Shines like glass.

When I decided to do this full time. The first thing I did was take an American Bladesmith's Society Introduction to Bladesmithing class. I got a Phere grinder basic package with VFD and a reasonable motor, $1,200 shipped. Good used drill press $100. 14" cutoff saw, $200. 110 lb anvil, $600. 3...

I use a Spydeco Sharpmaker. In it's basic configuration the unit has two sets of ceramic triangular shaped rods. I added the extra fine ones and get super sharp edges with it. If I have a damaged edge that needs a little touch up to correct it then I use a 600 diamond stone and after corrected...

Il vostro disegno sembra molto funzionale . Molto ben realizzato .

Welcome to KD from Hialeah!

I started with a homemade one. Then got the Bubble Jig. It helped me go free hand. I've loaned it to a friend to try. It's also good for grinding sweges. I highly recommend the Bubble Jig to start with. You can build a forge a lot easier than trying to duplicate a jig similar to it.

I have an original Phere that still going strong. I bought mine not sure of the unit or if I was seriously going to make knives full time. It has served me well. I have several friends that have purchased them after using mine. Jose has great customer service and nearly always answers the phone...

Artistically crafted! Truly a collectable piece that would greatly enhance any collection. Crafted with great attention to details.

The most precise looking one I've ever seen.Very nicely crafted!

Anthony I'd like to suggest you make the tooling arm 1.5x1.5" instead of 1.25". That way a standard size KMG style arm would fit it. Most grinder tooling accessories come in that size.

Welcome to the pack from South Florida!

I too send a little time on Facebook and in the Knife Dogs group there but, still make time to spent with the Dogs here. Glad to see you back, and look forward to seeing you progress with the new toy and production pieces.

Anthony you would need to show some photos of the unit to spark interest. Price point is going to be very important on this endeavor as there are several different options in the market currently. Would this be an entry level unit or a more advanced performing machine?

Wow!
