I picked up this one from Harbor Freight. ITEM 95088-0VGA 99 bucks and I got it on sale for about 70. I got it for finger holds as well. It can do the job but I use it more now for texturing handles and scale shaping. Overall, a good peice of equipment for the price. It was...

I am going to the Texas Knifemaker and Collectors Association Show in Round Rock, TX this weekend. It is a 2 day event. Here is the link for more information. TKCA Knife Show Any other Knifedogs going to be there? Lonestar JR

Welcome! I have lost a knife in the mail too. Heartbreaking when you have put so much effort into it.

Welcome!

Welcome! Always good to see another dog from Texas. Lonestar JR

This may be helpful. Maybe not. I haven't used this but it seems to be on target. Chart of Blade Angle Grinds-(ADJACENT SIDE VERSION)

Thanks for the information, guys. You have saved me a lot of trouble and mistakes already. Yep, Craig. I want to see how I fair at this slipjoint thing. Having fun so far. Very different than full tang blades. Lonestar JR

Hey guys. I searched high and low for some information on this and couldn't find anything. I got my new oven from USAKINFEMAKER.COM the other day. Pretty excited about having more control over the entire process and really lookeing forward to drawing my own springs for folders. I heat...

Bob Engath's site has the following. 52100 steel Oil quench from 1525 to 1600 F. Harden, cool and let the blade settle for a day (24 hours). Re-harden twice more at the same interval. Cutting edge toughness is fantastic. Draw at about 350 F, three times, and the spine may be torch drawn to...

Yep. Great looking knife. I think about anyone would be proud to carry it.

Thanks to everyone for their tips and ideas. I have used the vaseline on the front of the scales before with great results. I will try that on the filework as well. Lonestar JR

I recently made a knife with a creeping vine pattern that started at the hilt and ran all the way to the tip. This knife had Ironwood scales with black vulcanized spacers. I use LocTite 330 and it is definitely a different animal than normal two-part epoxy. When it came time to glue the...

My G0619 arrived yesterday. It is still sitting on the pallet but will be mounted on the bench this weekend. It looks fantastic. Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

IN! Thanks, Steve!

Hey Ted, Can you give me a call? I have a quick question about your Beaumont Metal Works Horizontal Grinder. 713-269-0791 Thanks, Johnny Roberts

I've acquired some tools but some is never enough. I would like to be spending more of my time making slipjoint and tactical folders so I am will be adding the following to my shop or at least something similar. #1 A Grizzly G5963 - 6" x 12" Surface Grinder w/ Stand Accessories for the...

Ya'll guys are way ahead of me already. I am just lucky I took notes during the mosaic pin session or I wouldn't be able to help at all. As long as the there is enough epoxy in the bottom of the cup (use something sturdy - my cup started to defrom from the heat) that you are pulling from, I...

NICE! Did you modify that center pin from a round one? I have never seen that one before in the hobby stores. Lonestar JR

I may be able to help. I attended a Johnny Stout Hammer-In late last year and we made mosaic pins. I can go back and look at my notes but I believe this is most of it. #1 Design your pattern. Make sure that you develop an interior layout that will not be too loose and looks like you...

Nice work there RDJ... Those are some nice looking bolsters too... Looking foward to a post from you on your method.... JR
