    New Chinisium Tig

    Sean Im sure the welder you got is way nicer than the one I bought! But I've wanted a Tig for a while did a lot of research and came up with this one. After seeing Sorrels vid and discount code it was a no brainer for me. I can arc weld with this machine as well. And if it works decent I may get...

    New Chinisium Tig

    In all honesty I've never had an issue either but have always wanted a TIG (LOL!!). Couldn't justify spending a lot of money on it. This is a link to his YouTube Channel and the actual video I watched. I hope it works? If not check out his YouTube Channel. The video was pretty informative and...

    forge construction question

    Did you spray the Kao-Wool with a mist of water prior to putting the Kast-o-lite on?? If not that could be the reason it didn't adhere to the Wool. I would chip out the protruding Cast-O-Lite under the burner, mix up a smaller batch of the cement, spray the area affected down with water (and...

    New Forge

    Finally did the first test fire!! I had some leaks on the gas delivery a couple months ago so I had to tear it all apart and reseal. Put it all together today and got it up and running! I can't believe how quiet the Ribbon Burner is! Still need to dial it in and figure it out!

    Etching Damascus

    I'm just sick of paying for the newest thing. $60 a gallon plus shipping from Baker Forge for Gator Piss when the 2 main items are Hydrochloric acid and Distilled water to me is high. I have a quart of that Rooto drain cleaner I may play with. I did a stone wash on an 01 blade I'm working on to...

    Etching Damascus

    I have a question. I have always used Ferric Cloride to etch Damascus, then added instant coffee to get more contrast. Now a lot of my fellow knife makers are using Gator Piss. I looked up the ingredients and one of the big ones is Hydracloric acid and distilled water with a couple of other...

    Chef knife

    All done finally! Real pleased with outcome. Some firsts on this one for me. Micarta Bolster, pins to locate, bolster, spacer and handle also bedded the handle. That worked GREAT but was a PITA!! I'll do this more but only on higher end stuff I make.
