Social media places are NOT the place to find anything - like ya'll I MUCH prefer forums. Much easier to find past posts and threads.

I just looked at this thread again today. I realize my reading comprehension has always been poor. Now 80 my next birthday it's got really bad. I see the very first line in your post says "curly rosewood". How did I miss that? I also mentioned how nice the bolster looked without really...

BTW Alden, I do like the scroll work on the bolster. How did you do that? My plan would be with a laser.

Dummy me - I never even thought about clicking on spot for photo. Perhaps it's due to the image size. The click only are over 1 meg in size while the images that show are in the 400k range. Seems like there used to be a size limit. Below is 319kb in size. I should have reduced the canvass...

Allen, did you pull all your photos? I drop by your thread from time to time to see what you're upto, but today all photos are gone back to Aug 21st.

Yes, it's 220 vac 1 ph input with 220 3 ph output. I'm running it now and it works just fine. Let's see how long it lasts. For a $100 can't go very wrong.

That is a good looking knife - With the thin blade profile I'll bet it's a slicer! What wood is that? I do like the bolster. Even if that's the "one of two" knives you made each yr it sure looks like a professional made knife.

My luck I'd have to remove the scales (destroying them most likely) and start from scratch. Good luck - the idea of drilling with a small bit to start the hole, then perhaps finishing up with a flat end type endmill might work ok. The hole will need to be large enough to completely remove the...

Robert, I've been trying to respond to your post since Monday but life kept getting in the way. I agree there are much fewer folks posting these days. I know I do less - still drop by to read most days. I'm making fewer knives myself, but still enjoy it. Is your website still active? I...

Dennis, you might not be making many knives these days, but the knives you do make sure are nice. Good work.

Chicken scratching my foot - that's art!

That is impressive! I had to research Bulino engraving to understand just how impressive it is. NICE!

Nothing wrong with taking your time and doing it right - which from the looks, you're doing good work. Keep posting updates as you make progress

From what I've read, for a right handed person the bevel would be facing toward the right. Check this link: https://a.co/d/0bKlJwjE to see what they call a right hand
