Thanks for the information Ed. I do want to be safe.

You can see in the foreground how I currently have my gas forge set up. The large tank in the back is what I want to use. The 120 gl tank will go outside my shop. The guy behind the counter where I buy my propane says you can't run high pressure propane into a building in the State of Texas...

Thanks Wayne! FYI - I also recently hooked up the VFD and motor I purchased from you to my GIB grinder. Very nice. Working on a work rest now.

I was in a sporting goods store in Houston about a month ago looking at the production knives when I spotted three of the best looking knives I've seen in a while. They came from CM Forge. They are the kind of quality knives I want to make. I looked CM Forge up and was pleased to find out that...

I just purchased a 100 gallon propane "bottle" to replace the 20# bottles I've been using for my forge. I have an adjustable regulator on the small 20# bottle. The new 100 gallon bottle has a large regulator like the one's that go on tanks used to heat your house. My question is: Are both of...

Welcome! I'm just beginning and just up and off of IH35 near Waco in Riesel, TX.

This type of bayonet had a guard that had an "eye" hole that fit over the barrel. The tang stuck through the butt piece and was peaned on the end to keep it all together. Apparently each manufacturer had a different pean look. That, for sure, would be ruined if I tried to replace the guard. I...

Is it a particular weight of Mobil 1?

I recently found this bayonet. The guard is missing and I was wondering if it was worth reparing or just leave it as is?

All, Thanks for the replys. I recently bought the GIB and just about have it put together. Still saving for the motor and VFD. Right now I'm using a 1" x 42" Delta grinder so I need all the help I can get! Thanks again, Jamie

I saw a jig made of angle iron and bolts. I believe it was CJS Knives. I was at a resale shop the other day looking for some angle iron to make one when I saw a heavy duty hinge. Here is what I came up with. Take the hinge apart and cut off the last pin receiver on the end. Insert a bolt and...

Sticks & Fluidsteel, Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll be saving up for the KBAC 27D! Jamie

Please tell me about your VFD set up on your belt grinder. I have ordered a GIB and have access to several different motors. 1. Brand you have. 2. Input voltage & phase. 3. Output voltage and phase. 4. HP of motor. 5. Nema 4 or in another enclosure? 6. Best feature? Thanks, Jamie...

Your knives look awesome. I'm just getting started with this obsession! I live just up the road in the "big" city of Riesel. Thanks for the pictures.

Howdy! When I saw the title I thought you might be a fellow Aggie! I have been looking around here for a while and I am just getting started in knife making. Yours look great. How far South are you? I live near Waco, TX.
