Yeah, Thai! Thanks for taking the time to post that. Bill

One more vote for Ernie. He bent over backwards for me and was patient with my inexperience. Stencils turned out great, just like I wanted.

Mission Accomplished! and very well done. -like you said, one sweet knife, and a break from the usual.

Does your motor have a wiring diagram of any kind ? -might be inside of a cover plate of a small attached junction box.

That stinks- but at east you had the skills to make the most of a bad situation. Thanks for the warning. I've accepted some stuff that way (the driver always seems in a hurry to move on). In the future, I think I need to be less concerned about his schedule and examine the merchandise before...

Wow- nice all the way around! Rugged look, colors, grind design, file-work, and right down to the lanyard extension- I like! Looks like one you'd have to hold to fully appreciate.

Someones gonna get a bargain (looks under-priced)- good work tho- I'm liking that black canvas micarta lately with the black oxidized (?) blade. -and welcome to KnifeDogs! Bill

Seeing mentions here of Fremont and David City (one of our daughters was born in David City in '83). I keep watching for a knife show or hammer-in closer to me. What's the closest one to Nebraska that anyone knows of? Bill

Small world, indeed. BossDog & DeMo- It was interesting, hearing about your Nebraska presence. DeMo, was your Dad's sawmill anywhere near the Fremont area? As for me I'm about 15 miles south of Fremont, or 5 miles west of Valley. My wife and I (and a dog, 2 cats and an old horse) have been here...

Keep in mind that I'm just plain dumb when it comes to heat treating anything but high carbon steels, and at best a rookie with those, but... From EngineeringToolbox.com: “Thermal conductivity can be defined as the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness of a material, under...

Thanks for the drill size info, John and Ed. I copied it to a document/chart and stuffed it in my 'Specs and Reference' folder! I always purpose to do my drilling before heat-treat. But with that said- when my brain lets me down (occasionally) I have had to turn to a carbide bit to save my...

Thanks Ed. I don't know if you remember a thread where I was ecstatic about a free heat treat oven I came across, only to soon come to the realization that not only was it too large (90 amp draw), but the oven walls were built in such a way that wasn't really conducive to installing new elements...

The bearings I used are about 1 3/8 OS Diameter, so it would take a pretty big bearing to go outside them. But, might be an option... I just used what I had on hand- and will probably get by okay, no more than I do, by staying at slower grind speeds. But with 20/20 hindsight, I suppose if I were...

After reading about all of you experiencing PBBT (post-broken-belt-trauma):what!:, I thought it was probably time to order a better faceshield- one I would actually wear- It just arrived. I chose one that I think John Wilson recommended in a thread titled 'Safety Gear'. I'm anxious to try it...

Does anyone know anything about these- like do you, or anyone you know, use anything like this to minimize decarb and scale? Sentry sells them as Diamond Blocks- It looks like a great way to achieve a carbon-rich environment and not deal with foil- but -what do I know- I don't even have an oven...

Thx to you too, Ed. Will do.

That's good to hear! Thx for the feedback- I'll keep things slowed down. Bill
