Check out brtbladeworks (Ben Tendick) on IG. He does a lot of wrapping. The interesting thing is his wrapping jig. A hinged clamp for the blade that swings side to side for wrapping.

Yup, it makes it seem too much like working on someone's payroll.

Truth unless you jump into a full size right off. That's impossible for most of us. I bought a Grizzly G0704. It's pretty good but sometimes......

I bought a jig from DDworkrest (Instagram) when I started to make folders. I was unable hold the blade to grind freehand well. While I still grind freehand on some, I find I use the jig more because grinding with it is faster, cleaner and more repeatable.

I scan my blade before putting the handle on. I pull the scan into Lightburn as a picture, trace the image and delete the original which gives me an outline. I burn that on MDF which gives me an outline of where the blade positions. I use tape to hold the blade position while setting focus.

Send a picture of it to Ben Greenburg. He has always been happy to answer questions. And sells great wood if you haven't looked. https://greenbergwoods.com

Just ask K&G to dry if needed. They charge but not too much.

This is my way of life also. Over the years there has been very few items from HF that have found their way into my shop. I have bought castors and the little segmented razor knives though.

Those with a 20 watt or smaller, are you coating your blade to etch?

Is there a difference between marking aluminum and steel or stainless? I tried to mark aluminum with my 20 watt both raw and painted black. Once at 100% power- 150mm sec, and 100% power and 50 mm sec. took the paint off but no etch into the metal. Help!

I just ordered the ATEZR P20 Plus. $598 including tax.

For those of you who bought the 10 watt lasers, have you found anything in knife making that makes you wish for the 20 watt laser?

Pretty common on Wa handles.

He sells on ebay also.

Don makes many products. They are first rate. This is what you are looking for.

Better than no gas.

Straight CO2 works for mig. It leaves more splatter and the welds don't lay as flat but works just fine and is less money than the mix. I use both depending on the application.

Various holes to be drilled in a folding knife: *Pivot: 1/4" Pivot: Predrill with Letter "D" (.246") bit and ream to 1/4" (.250") 3/16" Pivot: Predrill with #14 (.182") bit and ream to 3/16" (.187") *Stop Pin: 3/32" Stop Pin: Predrill with #43 (.089") bit then ream to 3/32" (.093") 1/8" Stop...
