Wait, so you're telling me I need to be cleaning my shop more than once a year? Lol

I like it Fred!

I have the same issue, I've made a few on my silhouette 3 as well and had problems with small pieces. But it does work good as a stencil once you stick it to the blade

Sweden comes in 2nd as best non-native English speakers..the Dutch take that one hands down, they almost sound American lol

And to add, I'm not sure about the rest of the Scandinavian countries but I know for a fact that they get 8 years of English in school. So you shouldn't have any issues with getting an answer in English. One of the hardest things about me trying to learn Swedish when I lived there was that as...

Here is one in Swedish that chrome will translate for you. I speak Swedish as a 2nd language, so I have a little advantage. Sometimes the translations are very literal and not perfect.. https://knivforum.proboards.com/

I keep it pretty simple, not too creative. I like some of these ideas though...might be changing it up. All of my knives get a zipper case, a few business cards, a knife care card, and a bottle of edci to protect the blade. Good thing about edci, is that it is food safe. There website says $5...

You can always get a kbac vfd for it to convert it to 3 phase, or a little cheaper option would be to get a phase converter. Just make sure the phase converter matches the hp of the motor

If it doesn't have the chuck it can give you some leverage to talk them down a bit :)

I'd grab that i a sec. I'm still looking for one as well. Id ask if it has a mag chuck that comes with it as those typically run a couple hundred bucks

Just for some background. This knife by don Hanson is one of the main reasons I tried to find and paid the price for this material..

Same here 1 or 3

Ok guys...been a while but I haven't forgot about @BossDog kith knife. I wanted to try something different since I'm supposed to be challenging myself, so I used a material I bought 4 years ago and had been saving for when i make some slipjoints. This is genuine Westinghouse micarta, what a lot...

Nickel is tough! Glad it didn't put you out of commission for long. That would have sucked

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna try that on these. A hammer would make that part so much easier. But what I will try to do it rotate it around on my flat dies, then hand hammer the rest. Appreciate the input

Thanks guys for the help. I'm going to weld up the stacks tonight and hopefully be twisting tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. Ed, I wish I had a hammer, just don't have room for one until I build my new shop. I know when I am ready for one its going to be a challenge finding one in good...

I always grind off mill scale. Another reason to do so it that the bar stock you get is never 100% flat, and you always want to have that flat foundation to start to make sure you are in proportion. I do this with my disc grinder but you could also use your platen lengthwise

This message is directed to Ed, but instead of talking to him privately I'd rather put it in here in case it helps someone else out or maybe someone other than Ed has some input. I'm going to be making a couple of twisted w damascus billets this weekend and my issue is that both blades I'm going...

I use Wix and I really like it. Its fairly easy to your own site using this tools. You can look at my site in my signature if you want to take a look

Definitely grind after heat treat on something that thin...also having it flat makes sure the whole blade cools evenly when you put it between your quench plates.
