Awhile back I got the idea to use a scroll saw to cut out a design in a knife handle and fill it with InLace. InLace is sold in wood supply places and also in some knife supply places. It comes in several colors, but being in the South West, I use turquoise. The problem with a design on a...

Great buy. I have used one for over 30 years. Wear ear protection. They are noisy.

Well, I guess it was a bad idea for me to post the pictures. The person who started this thread asked for pictures, and when no one answered, I thought I would try to help out. Sorry.

I would never ever grind Ti with my system on.

I hesitate to show pictures for fear someone may copy my set up and burn their shop down. Fire is a very real possibility, and should not be taken lightly. I have several smoke alarms to give me warning if anything goes wrong. I also have several fire extinguishers. You will notice in the...

That storage rack is a great idea!

I have never used a KMG. I have heard many good things about it, and I think there are many satisfied owners of the KMG. Beaumont Metal Works is a first class shop and they produce excellent products. The TW-90 will change from vertical to horizontal which I like. For me the TW-90 is the...

Ted, I have a square wheel grinder, a burr king, a Dozier, and a JL grinder. The TW-90- is by far the best. It is very well designed and a real pleasure to use.

Laurence, thanks for the reminder! Possible fire is something to be very aware of. I have several smoke detectors inside my shop and by the dust collector which is outside. Laurence, I notice you live in Santa Monica. I was born in Santa Monica and for the first 9 months of my life lived on...

There was another thread about the TW-90, so I thought I would show my vacuum set up for it. The TW-90 surface grinding attachment throws horizontal sparks. I used a plastic dust hood that wood working stores sell. I attached a flexible vacuum hose from the hood to my vacuum system. The...

I am always on the look out for better belts. Where can these be purchased?

I have a Burr King, a Dozier, a Square Wheel, a JL grinder, and the TW90. The TW90 is by far the best. Well designed, well made, a real pleasure to use.

Thanks for your willingness to share.

Around 25 years ago, Bob Jones, a member of the Knifemakers Guild told me, "Brass is out". You might look in the "Knives 2014" book and see what is being used. I think brass goes good with a Bowie knife.

Beautiful knife, and the sheath gives me some ideas for some of my own.

Thanks to all for the friendly greeting. Here is one of my latest. It is W-2 steel, clay tempered in Parks 50. The handle is stabilized maple burl.

Wayne, I live in Carlsbad. Lovington is not that far away. Tennessee is a nice state. My son used to live there, between Memphis and Nashville. I always enjoyed going there. Tennessee is also in the heart of knifemaking country.

I have sold knives for over thirty years. I have been in the Knifemakers Guild and also had Journeymans status in the ABS. I am no longer in either of those organizations. They are fine organizations, but I got tired of the 1100 mile trip to Atlanta, and the trip to Florida for the Guild...

Scott, I did the same thing with mine and it also works fine.
