    Pin placement help

    Pin placement help

    Laser Cutting Composites?

    I know they won't cut certain materials like kydex it contains I believe polymers and it will corrode their equipment and void the warrantee. Whatever it contains it's not good. I have had krynite cut but it kind of melts and distorts. I think CNC is the best for most materials. But I am not an...

    Storing wood?

    I recently had some troubles because as I was trying to speed up the dry time on the truoil I placed my knives in a room with a dehumidifier and the scales shrunk. So I thought about storing my scales in a room with a dehumidifier to start with. I figured if they shrinking is worse than if it...
