Beautiful work!

I'm an MD in a small town, so my crew and I are working pretty much as usual with the added burden of the infection precautions. So far we have had only two cases of covid-19 but we are expecting more to surface in the next two weeks. The first was a 79 year old lady who had to call EMS while...

There's no such thing as "social distancing" at the blade show.

Scott is right. Don't cut small pieces like scales on a table saw without push sticks and a feather board. Serious accidents happen that way. As someone who has worked a lot of time in the ER I have to say I cringed a little watching Mark cut those scales in his video. Table saws are the #1...

Looks like a design that is somewhat popular recently. I really don't care for it either, but you did a very nice job on it. You are making the right choice...build the designs you like. You'll do a better job and enjoy it much more. Interesting handle material. May I ask where you got it?

Your feather Damascus is amazing. Nice work!

Looking good!

I bought the Evenheat LB-22 with a TAP controller couple of years ago. It has been excellent and the TAP controller is easy to use. I don't do that many really long blades but the extra size wasn't that expensive and I have used it more than I expected.

Sweeeet!

It looks fine to me.

I've been watching and pretty much expecting a cancellation of Blade. There are thousands of people there and you are packed like sardines on the show floor. I already have my tickets and room, and I hate missing it as it is the one big show I look forward to each year. But it isn't worth anyone...

I have an older model, the Tormek Supergrind 2000. I use it and like it very much, but they are expensive. The advantages are that it's a good way to get a consistent grind angle that is reproducible, plus the fact that the water keeps the edge from heating up. Larrin discussed this effect in...

The ones I have seen were double.

Really nice looking knife. The pocket knives that are thin and light are the ones that actually get carried a lot.

That looks great, Drew. I will take one once you have them ready!

I generally use 1 part ferric chloride and 2 parts distilled water for 10-30 minutes depending on how deep and etch you want. Have also had good results with 1 part ferric and 2 parts vinegar. Temperature of the etchant also makes a difference....warmer is more active.

A better source for these pins is to go to a guy who makes them. I have placed several orders over the past few years with a gentleman in Russia. The downside is the fact of dealing with someone in another country, and the wait time, which is usually 2-3 months. However, Alexey has a large range...

Looks great!

Very nice looking!
