Thanks. Just another bump on my road. 20 years ago my doctor told me I'd be dead in a year. I'm still here and plan on keepin' on until God decides otherwise. I'd much rather be sick me than some poor terrified child hunkered down in some town the f'n Rus are bombarding. Welder showed up today...

Wow, what a difference a month makes. Not uncommon in my life, ill health interfering and determining my course forward is a way of life. :mad: I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) mid-June during a routine checkup. Went through a cardiology evaluation a couple weeks ago and saw the...

Welcome to KnifeDogs, bofir!

I have one of those bayonets. I'll have to dig it out and check the arsenal mark. Thanks, @52 Ford !

Welcome to KnifeDogs, Markus! That is a beautiful piece you posted.

Welcome to KnifeDogs! Mr. Haines lives next door to one of the coolest Canada Goose flyways/refuges there is. Horicon Marsh at the height of migration is an incredible experience.

Might keep an eye on this place for a 2" punch, for when they have them available. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Osborne-151-Oblong-Punch-2 There's one on AMZ @>$350!:rolleyes:

Interesting blade shape. I like the concept and look forward to seeing the final product. If you keep your focus on improving, you'll see something better every knife. The "next knife" is how we improve. That desire should never stop. As far as the pins, I would use my caliper and see if I...

Best wishes, Bob! Hope you get over the Covid quickly and with no lingering effects!

Thanks, @Critter ! Your post led me to find out that restrictive Illinois actually enacted a switchblade/spring assisted knife carry law all the way back in 2018! Damn, I've finally been legal for a few years and didn't know it. Yay!

I don't know for certain as I'd be able to get a 1/16" drill bit through that much leather without the bit wandering. That's so very cool your new machine blows right through that depth and repeated change in texture without deflecting. I hope you get that kind of performance out of it for many...

That’s incredible. Wow! How well is the stitch pattern repeated on the backside?

Hello, Biscuit! I have a big red black-nose male spends about 2/3 of his time laying there just like you!

Welcome back to KnifeDogs!

Welcome to KnifeDogs!

Prayers, indeed, Doug! Highland Park IL is about 15 miles south of me. A couple of my MDs live there and a number of old work friends. WTF is with people? Hate, hate, hate. Sick.

First thing I did this morning was put the flag out. Happy Birthday, America!

I thought about a metallograph a couple times. Used one daily my first year of employment, a carbide tool company, and it definitely has a cool geek appeal. Used carbon electrodes for the light source. Bigger than a business desk, though! LOL

PS If you freeze that and the HRC changes, you will have converted retained austenite to untempered martensite. Remember to temper again!
