It came with about 50 sanding disks and also a few flap disks. I think there were a couple grinding wheels also. I haven't gone through everything in the tool box yet.

I like it. I think it will be useful and hopefully prettier when it's cleaned up more. I also want to do a diagonal end cut and see what that gives me. If it doesn't look good for knife handles I can make cutting boards out of it. I also ended up with a Porter Cable 7" disc sander from the same...

Here's a couple photos. the edge is oiled. The front surface is just cleaned with alcohol. It's very heavy

Welcome aboard! Nice looking knives

OK.. thanks...

Here's a photo from the seller. I'll have better photos tomorrow.

I have located a large piece of Bubinga. Roughly 6 feet in length 11 inches wide and 1 3/4 inches thick. I don't believe Bubinga needs to be stabilized. Since it's far more than I could ever use, is there any interest from others here in cuts from it? I'm thinking $15 per piece. Each piece would...

Very nice!

I've been tinkering today with cutting some 4x4's for an anvil stand. And I've been thinking how all of this is going to come together. I have one piece of heavy unknown steel as shown here. It has almost no rebound. And I also have a 52100 round that has reasonable rebound. To my...
