That was interesting, it looked like fur. I am sure it was just some type of material. Anything to hold the rouge would do.

I didn't know any other way to share them. I would have expected they show a preview image, but they just show the text you type in. I am too new to this board to know the ins and outs. At least it is easier to share photos here than BladeForums. I am kind of spoiled with FB Groups now.

There are links that you have to click to see. One says "I'd like to be this good" and the other "or this good" you can tell they are links because they are blue on my screen.

No shoes extra grippers for the vice grips. I guess they could have cut out the HT but I didn't see one either.

I think he took it apart after all that bluing. I watched so many I don't remember the specifics of each one. But, after that, I am not willing to give up any of my tools, but I sure don't think I "need" a mill :)

or this good...

I'd like to be this good....

Of course, properly sized bushings are available for $4 and change, and a pair of bronze washers are like $65 cents.. I could buy a lot of both of them for $3k :) Okay, still going to file it under nice to have. With CNC as even nicer to have. But all completely unnecessary. :(

Looks like a knurl... I get that it can make things easier. And, if I owned one, I would likely get plenty of use out of it eventually. But again, the question in point is "Is it necessary?" I ordered a new dial indicator today. When I get it, I will measure runout and other such things on...

A little cleaning and some tuning and I get this... Okay, so i cleaned and tuned up the drill press. Then I used my crappy Pittsburgh 4" vice, and some random carriage bolts, finger tightened, I dressed off 2" of some kind of chrome steel 3/8" rod with a file, and center drilled it to 1/4". It...

So you're sayi g size "does" matter ;)

Well, my plan is to first tune up my DP. I will be removing the woodpecker table and then getting the table and at least one vice square to the spindle. I have another project that i put on the back burner, but it requires a 1/4" hole down the center of a 3/8" rod. If I can do that, I will stick...

The big problem with the secondary market is shipping. Especially on something as big as a Bridgeport. There is a guy nearby on CL that has a Shereline mill as well as mini lathe, that he has replaced with a Tag. But he is not responding to my contact. But I think the Shereline is a mini. The...

well, I know I would be, if I were replacing my DP

I guess I may have worded it funny, I didn't mean "If I get a mill, what are it's requirements"... I meant that moving forward, advancing in knife making, is a Mill a requirement? That said, I am taking your list of requirements into advice for what to look for in a mill. And that the "Mill...

Okay, if you thought I was a cheap b*d before, now that I have committed almost $6K to a belt grinder and HT oven ... just wait :) So, I assume it is possible that one would need some kind of mill, be it, micro (Proxxon 70), mini (Little Machine Shop), Bridgeport... who knows what? If I am...

Ray Wiley Hubbard comes to mind. "Baby's got a do rag on her head. An old banjo's under the bed. She hates the d*** thing. But she sure enough loves them blues." :)

Thanks, if you look at the rest of my YT channel there are a few sound checks with canjos and cookie tin guitars, so you can hear more playing, but no more singing. :)

I got into doing some Cigar Box Guitars, Canjos, Cookie Tin 3 strings and so on. I have also tried on and off to get to where I could play a real 6 string... However, 6 strings are 3 strings too many... Here is one of the first I ever made. 3 strings, no frets, and a literal bottle neck slide...

bring it on!
