Thanks! I’ll look at getting one on order.

Have any suggestions on which wheel to buy?

Completely agree!

Not really sure. It was on it when I bought the machine. Label is faded and hard to read. Have any suggestions on a good wheel?

Ok Boys Here's the deal. I had an older gentleman come by today to look at the surface grinder. I had second thoughts on selling it and had taken the ad down earlier in the day. When he arrived I told him I had taken the ad down but if he wanted it after seeing it I would honor the sale and let...

Daniel and Smallshop. Got a guy coming to look at it this afternoon. If he doesn't buy it I'll convert it to belts.

Oh, Grasshopper! Too much wisdom to impart on a web forum. :) Just kidding. Picked up some good tips on stone wash and black oxide knife finishes that I will be trying in a few weeks and I did purchase that Foredom engraver.

Not all the makers at the show are Master Smiths making high end stuff. You'll see everything from $5 Chinese junk all the way to Alekseyev Ilya's incredible detailed sword that won Best Sword. If you are confident enough in your work to sell to friends and family you really shouldn't be...

Thanks for the offer of help but I’m pretty much done with this machine. I’ve dressed the stone before each run, changed feed speeds, changed depth of cut, tried a different stone. Everything I could think of. Still not happy with it so I’m moving on. Here’s some pics. The surface on the last...

Oh man, come on. Pull out in that fast lane. :)

Tables are a little cheaper than I remember :D We’ll definitely get together somewhere next year.

Last I checked tables were $750. That was awhile back though.

Not sure. Instead of crowding someone’s booth it might be better to meet out by the display cases at the front entrance. That’s what I was thinking anyway.

Thought some of you might find this interesting. Award Winners

Might be a good idea for next year to set up a time and place for all Knife Dogs to meet.

Good luck with that Boss! Your “no-weld” grinder plans were really well done and helped me get started in knife making. I’ve since bought a KMG-TX but I still use the no-weld one too.

The finish is not as smooth as I would like. In fact it’s horrible. I dress the wheel with a diamond dresser before doing any work then spend another 30 minutes hand sanding on each blade to get a decent finish. I only sand the flats to 220 before heat treat so it’s not like I’m trying to do a...

I have a surface grinder but I'm not happy with the finish I'm getting. Really don't want to hassle with converting it to 2X72 belts either. Thinking of selling it and getting an attachment from Origin Blade Maker. Anyone using one of his?

Me too Chris. :D

Had a great time at Bladeshow. Didn't get a lot of pictures because I was too busy spending money. Got to meet a couple of Knife Dog members. J. Hoffman and Jeremy Bartlett. Very good to talk to those guys for a couple of minutes. International knife makers were down this year about 100 tables...
