    How do I send pics in private message?

    Imgur is free. I have an account and use it to host all my pics. They also have a phone app that is alright, not great but good enough. Photobucket locked everyone's pics behind a paywall a few years ago but have since lifted that. But for how long who knows. I'll NEVER deal with photobucket...

    How do I send pics in private message?

    Check out imgur.com You can host pics there and I don't think you need an account. But making one (account) will make things easier in the future I think it's the best/easiest out there IMO They even provide a link that you can copy and paste

    Small wheel question

    Side note: Make sure you run your small wheels slower than you do a large wheel. There's some math that can be done to show how a small wheel will run exponentially faster as the wheel gets smaller, but all you really need to know is that you'll burn the bearings out running them too fast.

    First Swedge

    Looks great. A well done swedge really adds a lot of character to a knife. Generally, sedges aren't sharpened. Sometimes but not usually. And, in some states, a sharpened swedge can make the knife illegal if double edge knives are against the law in that state. Like Michigan where I live.

    Any advice

    Make sure you're wearing a respirator when grinding any kind of CF. That fine dust can do really nasty things to your lungs.

    Colby fastener question.

    I don't think it makes a difference with a tapered tang as long as your holes are drilled before you taper the tang

    Colby fastener question.

    I use corbys almost exclusively The video is very good but I agree with the Boss. Don't grind down the diameter, just open the hole up a bit. Also, adjust the corby to your handle width not your handle to the corby. They are a bit more difficult to use than a straight pin because you have to...

    Yup, another Maker's Mark question.

    I was only pointing out that you were missing the Ferrous Sulfate while trying to make your own electrolyte. This is were I got mine https://www.sciencecompany.com/ferrous-sulfate-100g-p6368.aspx Also, if you need one of these bottles to mix everything in I have a few extra. If you need one...

    Yup, another Maker's Mark question.

    Not to get in the middle of this but Ernie has a recipe for electrolytes on his web page. I think Chris is missing one of the ingredients Chris - I made Ernie's electrolyte and just ordered from the links he provided. BTW the stuff works great

    Knifemakers Law..............

    Me too. I buy 2-56 screws 100 at a time. It's easier to cut another one unless I can look down and immediately see it.

    Slowly, I'm making progress...

    Absolutely! I totally agree. Myself, I prefer satin too but there's lots of people out there that LOVE a mirror polish.

    Yup, another Maker's Mark question.

    A makers mark is about as personal and subjective as it gets. I'm not sure how anybody else is going to hit something so specific to you. But I understand the how and why of your question. I was in a similar boat when trying to decide on a mark. In the end I took Ed's advice. I've always...
