Well usually by the time we get past the question of "What do you mean, you "make knives"?...why wouldn't you just buy one at Walmart instead"?..........they are bored, and say "cool wood". I usually respond by saying "Thanks, its hard to find these days, since the red and black trees are...

This is black and red box elder.... Great color and depth. One of my favorites !!!

I was thinking about having this picture framed and hung up in my office at work. You know kinda like those inspirational pictures of the guy climbing mountain ...etc. I dunno if my coworkers would understand. What do you think? :biggrin:

Did a bit of a "Cheek Ectomy" this afternoon myself. Couple 60 pounders..... Still a little frozen :p

What..... nobody has said it yet? ----> "Junk in the Trunk" :biggrin:

Forgot the link to the hardware kit for the mobile base, if its of interest. Rated up to 600lbs..... http://www.woodcraft.com/product/2080750/33126/woodriver-universal-mobile-base-hardware-kit.aspx

Some makers have had the vulcanized fiber swell when it gets wet, and so they switched to using thin colored pieces of G10. This might be a consideration if a blade is going to be getting wet a lot. Mileage may vary, but just an FYI on the fiber..........

Heres my take........ Its in the kitchen around water and moisture all the time. Definately stabilize it or use woods that are oily (coco / blackwood). Larry

Waiting for Santa......or the UPS guy.

Sounds like a plan... I built a platform for my bandsaw with double layers of plywood and the casters that lever up to move and then set back down... I believe either Rockler or Woodcraft is where I got mine. I bolted the saw to the platform so it wouldn't be so "tippy".

T That is a MONSTER tank.... Glad you found a flange. I been looking but they seem pretty scarce. I think that idea of a drainage valve on the bottom might be good, since that thing weighs so much. You gonna set the other one up for dyes? Larry

Whats the deal with driving in Russia? Video link below. Spoiler alert: There's a helicopter and a jet.. kottke.org - Driving in Russia

Happy Holidays.....

Looking for the old school paper micarta... PM what you have.. thanks

Hey Rudy, Thanks for the link that might come in handy.... Far as what goes in the trunk. Well I dunno, we'll have to see. :biggrin:

Thanks Mike, I have the frames built and covered in fleece. They're not attached to the case itself yet, but have been dry fit inside the case. When they're attached, the sides of the case will flatten out and there won't be those gaps (waves)....Here's a pic of the inside of the top and...

Here are some more progress pics, as I go along. RIVETS galore ..... The top and bottom are both covered and dyed, but it still looks a little streaky and spotty but that should get better when I rub it out. There is also some pics of the hardware after it's rust remover...

That process is cool........... I just used the "evapo rust" juice.. Seemed to work just fine. Have I mentioned how much I DISLIKE RIVETS !!!!!!!

I have an idea that I would like to redo this case. Basically gut it and wrap it in leather and reuse the buckles and corner hardware. Make a new leather handle and redo the interior with some nice fabric etc. I was thinking I could replace the old rivets with Chicago screws, but whats...

Theres a place in the city here T that sells steel by the pound.... definately recommend it for stuff like this. Larry
