Just finishing up a dagger for export. This one was a challenge mostly because of the gold. Thats not brass guys thats 14 kt gold with nickel pins. The blade is some of my dual mosaic as are the quillions and pommel. The sheath is fiberglas with deer skin covering. The throat and tip is the only...

Lonnie, Welcome to KD. Stick around and ask as many questions as you like. Hey you should come to the the International Custom Cutlery Show this September in Kansas City Mo. It should be easy for you and guaranteed to make your head spin. Hope to see you there, stop by my table and shake hands.

I don't have a hood over my forge but I do have a squirrel cage above it. The heat rises and get drawn out with that but also I have an old swamp cooler without water that I use to move fresh air from the room next door. I play musical doors depending if I'm grinding or forging. I can forge in...

All good stuff guys. I think the slide show would be the best way to go. I'm drawing up a new project, a pistol/folder with a small bore .22 and lock back blade. It may not be finished in time but thats all the better as people can pass it around and play with it. I'll finish it at a later date...

Facebook seems to be a busy place. I have a slot there and spend some time each day looking at knives and watching videos of all sorts. If a so called friend puts up something objectionable I just take their name off my friend list. :)

Hyatt has been coming over every week for several months now. He has become a good friend and is willing to help the old guy out here. I believe he has what it takes to stay with this journey. Hyatt, welcome to the dog pound. You are one of us now so stick around and show more work.

Jeremy, Thanks for your input. The Main points on the handout is a great idea. A place to take notes and stay on subject.

Yes, I will need an assistant more than likely, Thanks for the offer. Don't worry about looking good. :) We're just interested in guns and stuff. This show will be easy for you to get to I see you live there in town!

I like your idea of a "Gut N Shoot" heehee Gut em first and then shoot em. Some good ideas, thanks Justin

Thanks guys, This is all good stuff. If the room is high tech enough to have wifi and a projector I can possibly go on-line or plug in a flash drive for some of the procedures. Yes Matt, my equipment is mostly simpler and very little in the way of high priced machinery. I'd love to have a CNC...

What information should be on a handout? Legal matters, places to buy materials, bullets, primers etc like Brownells or Track of the Wolf? Web addresses I use?

Great so far Gentlemen, more more ideas. How about some handout printed materials? Like calibers and powder measurement information? I have a generic plan for a pistol/lockback I could make copies of although I have no idea how many copies to make. Ive done this one other time and time went...

I was contacted by Steve Dunn about teaching a 1 hour seminar at the International Custom Cutlery Exposition "ICCE" in Kansas City Missouri this September. Ya,all come! OK heres the trouble, I'm not sure what to talk about. I need you guys to think for a minute and give me some subject matter...

I found this at Midwest Knife Supply http://usaknifemaker.com/elmax-148-thickness-end-cut-bars.html Boss has other sizes too.

Nice birds Calvin. I've yet to go for a turkey. We are getting some good populations around here finally. The winters have been mild and they are thriving. I saw a half dozen cross our street last year.

I've shipped forges all over the country lately and used UPS for them. They only weigh 70 pounds though. I bought a box at Uhaul rental and dumpster dove for styrofoam packing materials. It ran total about $100 per forge. Be sure to use stranded tape.

It does go very well with this style of fighter blade. I bet it would work on a big chopper camp blade too. Its got that no-nonsense "lumberjack" work look to it. Be sure to show us a pic after you're finished with it.

i have some "tool envy" right now good decision in my opinion especially since you know how to use it. For me it would be the coolest paperweight in the world.

Laurance, I,m sure your 5/8" shaft will run the big wheel, at least one like this one as its really light weight. Variable speed is a must though to keep surface feet per minute down to a safe speed.
