I don't know if everyone knows this yet, but Norm has a small roller attachment available for his grinders. When I bought mine 6 months ago, it wasn't available. Thought I would pass it on. Thanks, Dale.

Is moose antler a good handle material? If so, how would you use it? I know where I can get one for a small fee, and was thinking how many handles a person could do. Thanks, Dale.

Corby bolts vs. Loveless bolts. Is one better than the other, or is it personal preference? I am getting ready to handle a couple of blades and need to buy supplies. I like the birdseye effect with loveless bolts of different materials. Anyway, any help is appreciated.

A friend of mine works maintenance at a sawmill and I am the lucky recipient of two 24" sawmill blades that are 3/16" thick. They have carbide teeth. What are the chances they are made from L-6 steel? If not what might they be? Dale

I guess the first stop is here to say hi. I am in the process of rounding up the equipment to build a grinder, until then I am playing around with two 1 x 30 belt machines. This is something that has interested me for several years but have not been able to try. Dale
