LOL, leave it to the math guy to come up with "12.86 degrees"!

A very nice design, applying the offered suggestions will make that an excellent knife.

No highjack dd, it's all good. I have not used the mini to it's full potential yet, as I am still learning it's abilities and limitations. I have flattened and squared scales and handles, slotted bolsters and spacers, milled tang slots for a through tang knife with scales, flattened ricasso...

That is the HF, I'm happy with it, it will do all I will ever need it to but there are better out there.

In a different thread, John was kind enough to take the time to post pics and descriptions of setting up his mini mill with DRO's. If not for his input, I'm not sure I would have figured this out. X axis in, milling a piece of angle aluminum to help protect the sensor and slide rail. Also got...

Nicely done, I think that will bring them joy and cherished memories.

Dang, that is nice! Time and money well spent there.

Frankenhammer, I love it! Great idea!!

Has this always had the A/C power port, or is this a new feature? Thanks,

I like the security cameras idea, 24 hr recording with at least 30 day storage would be great! I have two game cameras out in the trees pointed at the shop.

I'm pretty much limited to FM radio out here. Very little in the way of internet, I have to get on line from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. to download something of any size. The good news is I picked up a cheap MP3 player for dirt cheap at WW ($9.), found a free music site and downloaded about 3 dozen songs...

I have a very bad (or good) reaction reflex to such things, I keep mine locked also.

LOL!

If you like playing with San Mai, you will love low layer count patterns! I think I posted a pic of my first in the introductions forum. I don't think it is as persnickety as san mai in some ways, but a bit more grunt work with the twisting, for me.

Thanks for all the ideas/suggestions guys, I'll have to think about the external antenna for the radio idea. MP3? I'll start researching that. Again, thanks for the input, it is appreciated.

I suspect that many of us live a solitary life in the shop, and I enjoy listening to several inspirational programs throughout the day while I am working. I have noticed that as I have added more equipment and circuits, my radio signal has diminished to the point of not being able to bring in...

That is a steal of a deal!

Making San Mai is like a box of chock-lits ;)

Ken, if I'm not mistaken 1095 and 1084 "should" etch darker than 15n20, given the same etch treatment (at least that is what I have heard/read). You can also "layer" in visual effects (lighter and darker lines), at the transition line for more visual appeal. With stainless, you control the...

Cleaned up a the transition area a bit, the area previously mentioned was a bit of fingernail polish that had raised slightly from trying to remove it with denatured alcohol. Still needs more cleaning Opposite side with finger nail polish still in place. 2X5 min etch with FeCl, clean well...
