    3 diffrent knives from the same template

    All 3 look great, can't wait to see the top one sporting some bolsters. Funny how a knife can be changed so dramatically simply by different grinds, bolsters, scale choice.

    Tru oil

    I just picked up some Tru Oil yesterday to experiment with. I think Ed may be correct with his application method. I applied some and let it sit for a bit and it got real gummy and had to be sanded and stripped with acetone. I've been using tung oil or Minwax paste on all my wood and micarta...

    Randall experts needed

    I suggested the guy take better photos and submit them on a Randall specific forum. Thanks for the response Murph, I'm sure he will be thrilled.

    Randall experts needed

    Guy on my local fishing forum has the opportunity to pick up a couple Randalls. I noticed a few things in the pics that made me a bit uneasy but I am by no means an expert on early Randalls. Do these look like the real deal or cheap copies? Some additional info from his original post- I...

    How are you keeping your shop cool during the summer?

    Hey Todd, I'm out here off 295 and San Jose Blvd in Mandarin. I do some work in your neck of the woods at that new Gate station.

    How are you keeping your shop cool during the summer?

    I''m in Jax. and the skeeters are bad already :(. Like Todd, I have a 12'x 20' portable shed and installed a window unit. You can pick the small one up at Lowes for 100-150 bucks iirc. Another option would be the portable floor standers. I know this place carries a good selection...

    Painting bare metal question

    Good afternoon Dogs! I just ordered a stand for a portable bandsaw and considered painting it when it arrives. A thought popped in my head (dangerous I know ;)) on etching it prior to paint. Since its common practice to bead blast blade handles for superior adhesive performance, what do you...

    Strongest Epoxy On The Planet

    Interesting alternative I found posted on another site. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-Industrial/Adhesives/Product/Bonding-Tapes/VHB-Tape Actually a tape that seems to have some great bonding properties. This may be ideal for smooth scales such as corian and resin blanks. On a...

    Strongest Epoxy On The Planet

    After reading countless epoxy threads on this forum and others, I am attempting to gather some links to further the discussion. I would like to find tests that offer hard conclusive data conducted by a third party if possible. After reading the great ''Glue Wars'' thread it seems there is no...

    Commercial stabilizing set up

    I agree, for $69 it looks like a steal imo. Looks like he sells a heat cured resin so I don't know how bad clean up would be. If I order one I will post up a review for sure.
