Dummy me - I never even thought about clicking on spot for photo. Perhaps it's due to the image size. The click only are over 1 meg in size while the images that show are in the 400k range. Seems like there used to be a size limit. Below is 319kb in size. I should have reduced the canvass...

Allen, did you pull all your photos? I drop by your thread from time to time to see what you're upto, but today all photos are gone back to Aug 21st.

Yes, it's 220 vac 1 ph input with 220 3 ph output. I'm running it now and it works just fine. Let's see how long it lasts. For a $100 can't go very wrong.

I need to post a bit more often in this forum - it's always been my favorite because of the GREAT sponsor and folks who share their knowledge. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/IP66-220V-380V-Water-Pump-Inverter_10000033281732.html?spm=a27aq.27095423.1978240560.1.78372277JP4tjp Since most...

That is a good looking knife - With the thin blade profile I'll bet it's a slicer! What wood is that? I do like the bolster. Even if that's the "one of two" knives you made each yr it sure looks like a professional made knife.

My luck I'd have to remove the scales (destroying them most likely) and start from scratch. Good luck - the idea of drilling with a small bit to start the hole, then perhaps finishing up with a flat end type endmill might work ok. The hole will need to be large enough to completely remove the...

Robert, I've been trying to respond to your post since Monday but life kept getting in the way. I agree there are much fewer folks posting these days. I know I do less - still drop by to read most days. I'm making fewer knives myself, but still enjoy it. Is your website still active? I...

Dennis, you might not be making many knives these days, but the knives you do make sure are nice. Good work.

Chicken scratching my foot - that's art!

That is impressive! I had to research Bulino engraving to understand just how impressive it is. NICE!

Nothing wrong with taking your time and doing it right - which from the looks, you're doing good work. Keep posting updates as you make progress

From what I've read, for a right handed person the bevel would be facing toward the right. Check this link: https://a.co/d/0bKlJwjE to see what they call a right hand

OK, I understand a bit better now (coffee's kicked in?). AS Sean said, you'll need to look at the motor nameplate to check the wiring there. It'll show low voltage ( 220vac which is what you'll want) and high voltage (460vac). The KBAC manual has pretty good wiring info - the motor will have...

Larry, I guess my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, but I'm a bit confused about what you're asking. Are you saying you have an existing KMG that has a 3ph motor with a KBAC VFD that's working. KMG has a good setup there for sure. Are you asking how to wire up an additional 3ph motor and KBAC...

That sure is a NICE Desert Ironwood burl for sure. Very nice. What type of finish is on the blade? Would you share how you did it? Good job all around - a knife you can be proud of... or should I say sword? {g}

I remember how hard it's been to find a 120 vac input VFD. Here's a HUANYANG VFD Variable Frequency Drive,1 Phase Input, 3 Phase 0-400HZ Output, 2.2kW 3HP for $95 shipped. Of course this is a NEMA 1 enclosure, but with filters over the air inlets that's not so much of a problem. A 1.5KW 2hp...

I am NOT an expert on daggers. The very next step (for me) would be to weld the threaded extension, then Ht'ing. Heating after the extension is welded on will help release the stresses that build up during welding. I'm a big fan of profiling (including thinning down to final thickness)...

That is impressive - and the story behind the knife is interesting. Truly a one of a kind knife

I just got a reply from Paul - he's been having health issues, but hopes to be back soon.

Now you mention it I've not seen him lately - checking it shows his last post was Jan 1, 2026, the before that was Dec 11, 2025. I sure hope he's ok. Isn't his name Paul Bunch? I've sent him an email to make sure everything is ok.
