I will give Don a plug . I have the extreme and I have his small wheel one. They are very well made and very useful . The pricing is very fair considering if you had to go out and buy all the same parts and then found the time to actually make one at the same quality level .

I have some W-2 and personally I get wacky results with it too . Just like what Matt was getting. I don't really have the time to be playing around outside the norm and praying for it to respond correctly . I found that the W-2 that I had would harden down close to the thinnest point and was...

The more oil the better . Use the canola oil if that's all you can afford but personally I don't think its that good for 1095 . If you invested in a Heat treat oven then why not invest in the right quench ? You can get 5 gallons delivered for probably $140 dollars from Maxim Oil in Texas get...

1 inch plates with compressed air . I was looking at my log and it has been 63.5 and I do what Calvin does start at 350 for 2hour temper . and I soak for 45 min for heat treat phase (wanted to clarify I soak for 45 of the heat treat phase not the temper)

Hi I have been using the D-2 and I am getting 64.5 off the plates every time. I am using the recommended heat treating methods described on the Data sheet . I do not do any other treatment but I temper three times. I really feel that I am not loosing anything from this steel doing it this way. I...

Very Nice

What exactly are you using to check your hardness ?? Numbers are 10 points to high . Do you have any test blocks to determine if your hardness tester is accurate ?

Looks really nice . I always like the mixing of styles

Mark Andrews .. I am from Massachusetts . I have been fooling around with knives since a young kid. I was always collecting back then . Mostly good old fashioned buck knives . Got older and drifted away from it and started my family . About fifteen years ago my old pal and neighbor got me back...

I will give this a try. I think I will make a aluminum disc put a nut through it . As long as it is true that should work . Them you can use spray adhesive and use any paper you want. Glad I stopped by.

Good Post Tom .. I think no matter how you do it is the end result . What you make today and what you make next year are usually a lot different . At least for me. I started free hand and tossed many blades in the trash. Frustration set in. I found that a lot of new people rush to get it done...

Nice job..Real classy looking on that.

Sorry to hear that .. Well just keep busy and sorrow will turn to a smile when you remember them and how you were lucky to know them.

This is a knife that I was making right at the Time my friend passed . It as a lot of activity on it from the quench . He commented on the smoke like appearance. Nothing special about a hamon but it was something I remember from our last conversation. What I did on this knife was to remove the...

Looks like his machines are improving. You will love the variable speed .. Although many people do just fine without it I personally don't want to go back to the days when I had to say a prayer every time I put the steel to the wheel doing finish work.

Great ... Nice oven ,, Just for other guys to note. The Evenheat 120 volt 14 inch entry level kiln is no slouch . I have had mine for well over a year and use it often . I wouldn't mind having the better controller but as far a heat up times I never feel like I am waiting forever. I probably...

With a heavy heart I was just informed that my friend has passed .. 51 years old and four children and a wife and two dogs . I really thought he was going to pull through all this. That Cancer is evil stuff . It doesn't seem to care what your story is and who you are leaving behind.

Sweet !

Nice oven you got there..Do you have any results yet ? looking forward to seeing your finished product.
