    Hardening mild steel???

    I have used kasenite many times. It goes on great and seems to wear just as well. It seems to me I heated the area red and then covered it by sort of rolling it in the kasenite. I would repeat this several times. Yes, this was for a sear and the gun was shot hundreds of times afterward without...

    DIY teacher versus store bought

    I got myself into a terrible etch situation while I went to a very light pressure on the wand. Why I got into doing that I don't know, but that created a very poor etch. I was a log time finding the problem. Frank

    disk grinder attachment

    For "regular" discs, I use a 1/16 piece of cork under the sandpaper, except for 60 grit where I use nothing. In fact the 3/4" - 1" foam pad make up does a beautiful job on curved handles: both metal bolsters and scales of all types. A member was good enough to post a picture. Frank

    disk grinder attachment

    I believe it's a real cooool tool !!! And remember I'm a huge fan of Rod Nielsen's disc grinder. You have it all there with the magnetic hub and magnets as Rob uses and the variable speed control I believe is necessary. I hope people will realize making one for yourself or helping a friend make...

    SS banding question

    Make sure the banding is SS. A lot looks like it but isn't. Perhaps a little vinegar or rub from a lemon might give a for sure answer? Frank

    Blade for an existing folder?

    Joseph. Impossible to make a replacement blade without having the knife. I wouldn't do it in any case. I expect the cost would be about $100 minimum per blade. Frank

    New Off the Bench

    I too think it's a great looking folder !!! I have a suggestion that I hope may make the stippling easier to do and more even. Cut the basic outlines with a rotary tool and as very small round bit - say 3/64 - . This will give you a pretty rough line and then clean the cut curved lines with...
