I bought my tempered glass at a local glass shop & attached it to a piece of 1/8 steel and welded on an upper clip to hold it in place. I'm confident that the JB weld epoxy will hold it in place.

I think integral is the right word, as in a (continous) integral bolster. It would seem even uncle ALs description is apparently spelled wrong. But...I could be wrong!

Like others said that knife sure looks overly complicated, trying to combine several knives one. But I'm curious, why are there clothes rack hooks on the top? So you can hold the hangers with your knife while the shirts dry???

I love my Reeder grinder, though I've not use other brands. Among the basic requirements of: 2 tool arms and direct drive with VFD, I put a lot of value in Don Reeder's many years experience in the machine tool design business. He knows how to design and build quality tools. For instance...

Now THAT is a class act!

I've only sharpened a couple of re-curve blades. I found that if I used the horizontal portion of the 2" belt that was above the upper platten - AND, loosened the belt tension - I could get an adequate edge grind. But, if not careful, the edge of the belt can dig in. So use either a J-Flex...

After seeing a number of posts on KD and watching a couple of videos from Pop's, I finally made a knife straightening peening hammer. I tested it on a post heat treated 52100 think chopper that's in the larval stage. It had about 1/16" deflection starting just behind the ricasso. I had a...

Ken, kudos for building a innovative collection system, pretty nifty. Two thoughts: - I'd be a bit cautious about hot material entering the plastic ducting at the bottom of your 2x72 platen. If you are really hogging off material, those red hot shavings will carry through the system quite a...

Chris: That is brilliant! I love that kind of creative innovation.

Chris: I was looking at your stand and wondering just how the knife stays vertical in the first photo, without stabbing the wood shown in the second photo. Is there a magnet in the branch?

After wrestling with this problem for years, I abandoned the idea of pulling outside air into my shop that is located in a cold climate. So, I use a self contained localized dust pickup at the grinder that picks up dust/grit at the point source and can serve as a whole-shop air filter. The...

Here are the photos I was trying to post.

Wow, that really sucks. I've deleted the garbage photo links and will try to paste the photos.

Here's my extreme tilt table setup. It's a combination of a tilted platen, and angled work rest plus a plate extender. I like plate extenders, I have a bunch for a variety of setups.

That's a spiffy knife / sheath set. Love that hamon!

Ah, that's how you do that, ingenious! Thanks!

Just remember to figure in my AARP / AAA / KD / Military Veteran discount! :)

And, I may be interested in getting a set. PM me when you're ready to sell.

I'm still working up enough courage to try my first stacked handle. But, I'm still unclear how to finish the butt end. In an earlier photo it looks like the stack is compressed using a bolt & nut on the cap to compress the stack.. If it's not too late could you show photos of what the butt...

Look'in good, waiting to see those on the finished product.
