    Paypal

    hmmmmm. Well I'm not marketing using the term "knives", just outdoor "stuff". In fact, I listed "2checkout" in one of my earlier posts. They came back to me asking for PII information and so much other stuff I told them to "forget it", I'll go elsewhere. PII is sensitive info btw.

    Paypal

    Both of those were recommended to me by the person who manages my website for payment processing. I'm in the midst of being authorized by 2checkout (they ask a lot of questions) and authorize.net has higher processing fees so they are not my first choice.

    Paypal

    I just received a Quickbooks module for card processing and I am about to use it next month at my first show. I currently use Stripe for my online payments but am checking out 2checkout and authorize.net among others. Stripe is mucho too liberal for me.

    Paypal

    I currently have Stripe, their policies are just as crazy as FB and Paypal. It was recommended to me to use "2checkout" and "authorize.net" which I am doing as I type this. But this recommendation was not because of guns or knife selling, I just don't like their insanely liberal policies.

    Along with my previous comments, the last time I was at a H/R store buying a very cheap item, I told the cashier to PLEASE tell the manager to start buying ANYTHING not made in China and PREFERABLY made in the good ole USA. He was annoyed at my comments and when I saw that I told him to tell...

    New shop question

    I've reached a point with Harbor Freight that I won't spend my hard earned money on their tools going forward. I will spend extra $$ to buy better quality...........

    New shop question

    Great overview Ed. When and If I ever buy a belt grinder, forge and other things for knife making, I will not do it in my woodworking shop. All of the experience on this forum by many experts is very helpful.

    New shop question

    I bought the Grizzly cyclone dust collector 10 years ago and have not had any problems with it. I had every tool laid out and ran overhead piping to each one. I even ran piping to the floor in 2 locations to allow me to vacuum the floor. Each of these 2 locations had 20 feet of flexible...

    what to buy when setting up a new shop

    Either I don't know what I'm looking for or Beaumont doesn't offer a "flat platten". At least searching on their site doesn't come up with anything. Did you buy it elsewhere?

    what to buy when setting up a new shop

    Ed: Your lengthy details are VERY MUCH appreciated from this newbie. Your approach is great!! If this new contract lasts as long as expected, I won't bother with the smaller belt grinders, I'll just go for the 2/72, 2hp with speed control. I'm actually looking at the KMG-TX today, here's...

    Ed, I haven't been on this forum for very long but I've noticed that you go "All out" when someone poses a question to you. Your reply to me above is hands down super valuable! And I thank you much for you taking the time to compose such a time consuming and detailed response. I will check...

    what to buy when setting up a new shop

    Hello Ed. I realize this is an old post, but I've been looking at "belt grinder" topics hoping to reach some sort of conclusion as to when I'm ready to actually buy a top end belt grinder, I know which one I will go with. This was not a consideration until I started working again (which...
