    Sheath Makin Hatin Club

    Can anyone recommend a good place online to order smaller (e.g. 12" x 12" or so) pieces of tooling leather for making knife sheaths? I'm thinking I want 7-9 oz? I went online looking and was surprised that I wasn't finding much. thanks, andy

    What will give the most bang for my buck? Disc grinder or metal band saw?

    I would say yes... I recently got a Milwaukee portaband and set it up in a Swag table and find the foot pedal very convenient. Andy

    Small Slicer/Cleaver

    Great looking cleaver... A mini-clever is on my list of blades to try. What's the OAL on this one? thanks, Andy

    "The Moment", For Me

    Agreed! There’s something oddly satisfying about first sanding back the handle material flush to the spine of the blade on a full tang knife. I think it’s partly because the handle material comes off so fast and easy compared to the many many hours already spent grinding and sanding the steel...

    Prayers for my wife as she battles cancer

    I’m very new here but am constantly amazed and floored by the degree of “fellowship” on this forum. Good on all you guys and I’m glad to have found this place. All the best thoughts for you and your wife Cliff. Andy

    Epoxying question for you "seasoned" pros.

    Forge

    I'm not sure how thick the wall is on an air compressor as I've never cut one open. It's probably not as thick as a propane tank, but I'd bet it's plenty thick enough. I think it just needs to be able to hold its shape (once the ends are cut off) because you'll then line it with Kao-Wool and...

    Robertt66 was a fake

    Agreed. Well said and as a new guy here I feel the same way. A lot of online forums would have deteriorated into a meltdown given those posts. I may be too trusting but I also just thought he was a lonely retired guy (“pensioner” as they say) that was a bit gullible to the media and just...
