Just wanted to drop a line and let you guys know I'm still wiggling...Got a lot to catch up on, still knee high in boxes from the current move and swamped with work... Still have to set up some 220 and get my shop together but that will have to wait a couple more weeks... Just need a little...

time does seem to just slip away, I've had a few bumps in the road of life as of the past couple months so getting back in the saddle of knife making is a slow go, I thought I'd have to bow out, but seeing how this may still be good til the middle of July I may have to kick myself in overdrive...

maybe an email thing, but I'm just getting desperate as I finally have made another stab at making as I had life issues to contend with that has kept me from it for over 2 months... Maybe I need to call him, haven't tried that.. thanks ..

Andrew, I was going to use Ernie, sent him some art he returned a proof a little different.. which is fine but his email got buried and within that time (couple weeks) I had changed my design to something super simple, sent him a link with the font and haven't heard back from him.. so in short...

rotary platen.... I couldn't change the title, I have a separate thread around here somewhere to help bog down the forum:D

Does the kmg rotary platen have a work rest?? I've only seen them free hand... they are really pricey, but I think it would really help my style as convex is right up my alley.. so I'd assume one would use a flat platen, or wheel to profile and bevel their knife.. then use this on the final...

I asked about a radius platen but was thinking rotary platen, which is fine because I was going to do a radius platen a while back but have to little time atm.. What is the purpose of a Rotary Platen Attachment as seen on beaumont ??(wont let me direct link it)... To me it seems like you...

Rotary Platen... Its uses? Let me be as perfectly blunt as possible, I have no idea what the benefit of a radius platen is... This may be stretching it a bit, but isn't it more like a slack belt that's fully taut?? please clue me in, as I see more and more of them lately... there...

Here's a little testimony, his mother whom doesn't believe God exists 'at all' has obviously been affected by this tragedy not only on a physically emotional level but also on a spiritual level as well, as they were wheeling him into surgery his mom pointed up to a cross in the hospital and said...

really appreciate all that prayed... its a miracle that he didn't die, the doctor was blown away and told his mom later before he left that he really didn't expect him to pull through the sepsis... at all... my wife's a nurse at the same hospital and used to visit him during her lunch, she'd...

I thought I was seeing things, the same thing has happened out this way.. I'm afraid these knockoffs just may turn out to be a new nationwide fad... I too received mine yesterday as well, Thanks Guys !!!! I've had it just laying out in the open for the last couple days just staring at it...

this is just what I was going to recommend while reading the thread.. I'd also only finish sand it to 1000 at best and wax the steel... take care
