That's a mark from the Nagoya Rikugun Zoheisho Arsenal. Don't make me try and spell that again. :D Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

I think I figured out that fixed blade. It appears to be a Japanese bayonet for an Arisaka. The Arisaka was the standard infantry rifle around WWI/WWII. It's missing the barrel "loop". Whatever it's called. Either way, that blade is likely something that a veteran brought home after serving...

Oops. Wrong button.

Overthinking things would be using the compressed propane to run the blower before it goes to the burner. :) 12VDC wouldn't be a bad way to go. especially for a travel forge. Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

Without a multiple burners or a ribbon burner, I just expect to "paint" the heat into a billet. That sounds like it could be a pretty fun project. Making a ribbon burner and converting it to a forced air style burner. My suggestion if you decided to buy a blower is to either get one with a...

For sharpening stuff like that, I usually end up wrapping sandpaper onto a file or a dowel. If you want something fancier than that, I suggest looking into stuff for sharpening carving tools and lathe tools. https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Carving-Tool-Sharpening-C30.aspx Sent from my...

Makes me sorta uncomfortable not seeing dirt on the floor :D Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

That's a good question! I didn't think about that. I'm just impressed it was able to punch through that much material! Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

LOL Lived in that neighborhood for 11 or 12 years. Those were the only two things of note that happened. No theft, no break-ins, nothing. The drug dealer dude wasn't in the neighborhood he owned property down the road from it. That said, I'd hate to live there now. Houses are too close...

That's awesome! Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

Also - I actually DID know a guy who got picked up on some serious drug charges about 1/2 a mile from me. Black helicopters and all. Big drug bust. Think he was distributing to dealers, so high volume. I imagine he's in for life, now. Knew another guy that got picked up for stealing diamonds...

That's not what I'm getting at. You can write it down next to your name and SSN and fly it on a flag pole and you won't get in trouble for it. I still wouldn't post serial numbers on the internet. [emoji2369] Edit: same reason that they blur license plate numbers Sent from my Champion Forge...

Nice lookin' knife! (Best practice to hide the S/N when you post a picture of a firearm online) Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

I had someone ask me to make a holster for them years back. I was probably 16 or 17. It was one of my buddies - they had just bought a 9mm carry gun. I ended up wrapping the gun up in plastic and forming the leather around the gun for that nice "click" fit. How does one go about making holster...

This guy was hanging out over the forge last night. Not no more! Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

Whatcha take it apart for?

I did some copperhead skin inlays in a rifle stock when I was younger. I started out with a 1/2" chisel and slowly worked down to finer and finer chisels. Ended up sharpening a 1/8" wide screwdriver. I don't recall if I used a Dremel or not. Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

11,000 CFM. I take it you have natural gas at your shop? Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

If you can't hit welding temps, you could probably rig up some sort of forced air burner. That'd definitely do it. It wouldn't take a large blower, either. Sent from my Champion Forge using Tapatalk

Best put the constitution on one side and the bill of rights on the other. Bonus points if you can fit the Declaration of Independence on the scales. :D Honestly, I think something like "VA USA" would look cooler than just USA on a knife. I wouldn't bother putting the type of steel on the blade...
