I concur.

I think half of all the shows I watch on the TV are oldies in black and white. I remember having to actually get up to change the channel and adjust the rabbit ears. :D Your going to have a real nice sheath for that soon too right?

It hit 80 today in the Florida panhandle. it was a good day to see my man DeSantis get sworn in for his second term as governor here in Florida.:D

That's a nice one John, the blade pattern reminds my of an old black and white TV on the fritz. :D

A few things I would consider, does it come with that stand? is it a comfortable height for working with it? does the stand have a base that can be bolted down? also I would check for slop in the lead screw, like do you need to turn it a couple times before the jaws move. are the jaws square to...

Actually had some mosquitos around, I'm not looking forward to summer.

It reached 74 with a feels like 78 in the Florida panhandle today.

That knife looks great Dennis. waiting to see the sheath. have you ever used a swivel knife? you could carve an owl in it and with some simple tools make a nice owl.

Well......I don't know. $314.00 is a lot of scratch to drop on that hoping and not knowing FOR SURE that it will perform like you want it to and the interior looks kind of small. when on the other hand you could build one with a PID and be pretty much assured it will work. but you could try it...

The problem with the one you linked to is the problem with all of them...temperature swing. the people building them with PIDs are also gutting them and insulating them with kao wool or some other refractory insulation. I've looked into building one,I've got a decent toaster oven with convection...

It looks good, I’d say it was worth it. There’s a lot of people who like a mirror polish. It’s not for everyone or every knife but over the years I’ve heard makers shun doing a mirror polish and honestly believe some of those makers don’t like them because it takes longer or they just can’t get...

I've found that G10 is unaffected by ferric chloride, so if you use G10 liners you can finish the handles on the blade and carefully place tape at the edge of the G10 and wood then apply ferric to the tang. I use a very small paint brush and apply and wipe until it matches the spine. this is a...

It’s 17 and feels like 12 now at 5:30 am here in the Florida panhandle. I fixing to go sit in a tree stand in about an hour ha ha….Brrrr.

It’s 16 and feels like 8 here in the florida panhandle now.

Yea, I remember some of my leather stuff said they would be ruined if frozen and it's got to be bad for epoxy, as soon as it hits 50 I keep that inside till I need to use it. lately even when I've been epoxing handles up I've been bringing them inside until cured.

Currently 50 degrees where I'm at in North Florida but it's supposed to hit 19 by Christmas morning. all the pipes are wrapped and ready. put all my leather dyes, epoxy's and other perishable liquids in a box and put them in the house. my shop is an enclosed pole barn with roll up doors and gets...

I was by no means saying Sanford grinders are no good or not worth anything. I have one in my shop now next to my Harig. I rarely use it anymore but when I did it sufficed for what I needed it for, slowly, but did what I asked of it. What I found is it's woefully under powered and limited by the...

I get 6-8 rounds off before it gets tough to ram the ball home. I just run a couple dry patches down and it's ready to go again. Yea, I couldn't imagine what it would be like getting hit by a .58, lot's of amputations in the civil war. this rifle is patterned for the colonial era, 1760-1770s...

Today was the last day of the first muzzleloader phase season in my area, while I didn't get anything I did kill some leftover melons from the garden. here's a couple youtube links. the rifle was a .58 flintlock. the melons get it around half way thru the video. I had to turn the camera on then...

Thanks John, I'm giving it to him tomorrow, I hope he likes it. I'm also picking up 2000 pine tree seedlings at the same time so I should be busy outside of the shop for a few or more days. :D
