Thanks for the good tip with the white vinegar Bubba-san. I thought that stuff was a pain as well.

I couldn't send them via PM. Here are a couple of pics of my BBQ pit. The last one is the decals that I added after the first two pics.

Sending PM.

Wow, love me some morels!!....Nice haul and really nice size too....do you slice them in half to clean them? Oh, to keep it knife related....what knife do you use to slice them?

I would be interested in one Charlie. VERY new and still trying to amass the equipment to make knives. You could try to ship it in one of those flat rate USPS boxes. Do you have Paypal? If so, give me your info and how much it will cost to ship, and the money will be on it's way. BTW, you...

Link to the pic isn't working. Hope no one was hurt in the fire. Pretty cool to redo them for him.

Thanks Tracy! I guess I get the "stout" from my grandpa. He always said "If you're gonna build it, build it to last." The only "weak spot" in the design for ME is the hinge point of the tension arm. I wish it was supported on both sides, not just the motor side. Or, using a 1/2" bolt...

Thanks Wayne. In pic #5 you can see the mount I made for the VFD. It's 1.5" tube with an 1/8" wall. If you are really careful you can drill and tap the tube to mount the VFD. The tap was rubbing the inside of the tube just a bit, but it works. I plan to weld it all up in the near future. I'm...

I finally got some pics taken of my No Weld Grinder. The base is 4"x10" tube with a 1/4" wall. After talking to Wayne Coe about the motor and VFD, I decided to go direct drive and made the necessary changes. I got the tracking wheel and the drive wheel from a friend who used to work in a...

Bruce, a "WOW that is beautiful" comment seems pretty lame and can't express what I think of that knife.....a phrase from Bob Loveless comes to mind...."Iron Mistress"......yep, I would probably sleep with that knife next to the bed.....

Looking really nice. Can't wait to see them completed. Do It Best hardware stores have cobalt drill bits and that is what I have been buying to replace my old HSS bits. I've been buying a couple of bits at a time till I get a nice set built up. Quite by accident, I found out that they are...

Being a newbie to knife making I'm going to take a stab at it... 1- Curly Maple 2-SWAG- Mesquite? 3- No clue- Hickory? 4,5,6,7- Leopard wood 8-Laminated wood like Dymond Wood 9-Black Palm 10-SWAG- Bubinga? 11-SWAG - Walnut?

Thanks Stephan, I'll watch for them.

Excellent idea with the roaster! I'm using an electric skillet right now and its not quite big enough for some of the blades I would like to do.

I would like to make a quench tank that is able to preheat the oil. I am thinking horizontal, rather than vertical. Are there any plans/tutorials on this? Advice? Do's- Don'ts ? Thanks

Also I see the need and purpose for having a couple of different quenchants given the specific steel and type of knife/sword, but just starting out, this can be quite expensive. Not to mention having to build separate quench tanks for each different quenchant. Right now I'm just using an...

Thanks for the reply Kevin. I got a chuckle out of the sarcasm.;) Tomatoes Caprese is my favorite use for olive oil. :biggrin: It has to be a good spanish olive oil for tomatoes caprese and bread dipping though...smooth and buttery with just a bit of a peppery bite at the end..... I see a...

I like the design really well. It should do the things you designed it to do very well. Just curious, are the tubes in the handle steel...or stainless steel? Did you flare them or just epoxy them in?

Ok, I saw that pic of the tomahawk in another thread with the decarb splotches. I have seen this on 2 of my blades thus far. I am using my mentor's forge. It's a 3 burner propane forge with both ends open. At one point he had a fire brick setting sideways in one end of the forge that blocked off...

You should be able to get real Lexan at any place that replaces windows and deals with glass. Check the yellow pages....
