I hear what your saying! Maybe call or send an Email to Council, talk to the engineers?? Maybe get the information your looking for. Worse thing that could happen is nothing leaving you right where your at.

Councils been around a long time. I have one of their Boys Axes and love it (great for my camper). I know they make all the axes for the Forestry Dept as you have noted. Really don't have a definitive answer except their long time experience and their largest single customer (I would think) The...

They call them never Twist! Suppose to not kick sideways when you tighten them down. Nice clamps but expensive. I just use the cheapie Harbor Freight C clamps.

Really miss his posts. He does GREAT WORK and was really interesting!

I just checked his history he hasn't been here since October 1st!! Hope things are OK too!!

This is my setup very similar to CD setup! Works very good. Out of oven in foil between plates, compressed air to cool as quick as possible, out of foil, file test quick and into RV Antifreeze and Dry-Ice for Cryo overnight. Read that this Cryo works by some and doesn't work by others?? Better...

I'll get a pic

I bought a cheap woodworking vice drilled and tapped the aluminum plates and attached a 2x4 to it so I could clamp the vice and plates in a bench vice horizontally then clamp away!! Works GREAT!!

I've done a couple CuMai blades and as long as the Copper is not on the cutting edge it shouldn't be a problem. I also did my Homework on the Copper to steel bond the shear on that bond (I looked for the article and couldn't find it) is around 70,000 PSI!! These are hand knives 1 is a hunting...

Lots of reasons to use mystery steel! Some reasons off the top of my head, Cost, practice, availability. Heck think of it RR Spike knives are a right of passage along with Farrier Rasp knives and Tomahawks. Beginners always looking for a cost effective way to get more forge time! Another reason...

Surface Grinder Attachment.

I thought someone had a surface grinder build on here?? I searched and didn't find a build but a few discussions about it. Anybody know of a documented build??

Unless your forging all your knives and making Damascus or going for super flat ABS type knives they are a luxury for sure. One of these would IMO would bring your knives to the next level as far as flatness. That said many fantastic knife makers on here don't have them and produce unbelievable...

I used 1x4 top and Bottom and 1x3 in the middle. I was using drops and shorts for steel and that's what they had. Its a bit taller than the Coal Iron because of the 1x4 and the 1/8" plate.

I'm no expert but a friend of mine had the same issue with his 25LB. It ended up being rust between the flywheel and the clutch material. Like you he sprayed it down also. He used believe it or not WD40! I don't know if that's what I would use but it seemed to have worked? If he didn't use the...

A moderator has to turn it into a Sticky. Boss or one of his crew!
