A customer recently requested a remake of the Loveless Hunter order #MDL in 154cpm with Ivory micarta handles. It obviously has a bit less belly & a little more tip than his standard dropped hunter. I've always thought it to be a great looking knife. Here's my version and also a pic of Mr...

Benchtop Hydraulic Press Here's a benchtop size hydraulic press I've been building. Like most of us I'm pretty low on floor space so I wanted as small a footprint as possible in order to mount it on a small work table. The press is 44" tall and 13" wide. The cylinder has a 4" bore & 2.25" ram...

I'm in the process of building a hydraulic press and needed to drill some 1.250" holes in very thick stock. Neither of my two benchtop drills were up to the task. They were too fast & didn't have nearly enough torque. After reading several threads at some of the machinists forums I came up with...

For those with real life hydraulics systems experience... I'm collecting parts for a hydraulic press build and have been offered a used vane pump for about the same cost as a new gear pump. Noise is something I'm addressing so can anyone tell me if the vane pump will be that much quieter? I'm...

Found this today and thought someone might find it useful.

I've been working on my first folder (a slip joint) and was surprised at the work involved in getting the geometry of the blade shape, tang and back spring just right. To those of you who make folders, how do you go about your design & build process? Do you use pencil and paper or CAD...
