Very nice Tracey. So when are you going to start taking orders??

A few recently finished......

I have been experimenting with different methods of getting the flipping action just right. At this point, I found what seems to be the best method for me. I set the ball .010 higher than the washer is thick. For a .020 washer, the ball is exposed .030. I then stone a flat spot on the ball until...

Glad I'm not alone!!!! I learned the plastic bag trick while working on fishing reels. Many of them have these tiny spring clips that just disappear when you touch them.

After you spend time precisely honing stop pins, pivot pins and grinding down screws to the exact length you need them, you drop one and it's obligation is to finds it's way into the deepest darkest recesses under your workbench.

I bought Don's My Way book and I still use some of the techniques today. Don's books are well worth it.

I have a slipjoint tutorial on my website. It includes a template.

Very impressive for your first folder. Nice work.

Just finished this one.

I used the SG yesterday to clean up some titanium liners for a folder I'm working on. I tried different ways to adhere the liner to the chuck and finally settled on carpet tape. It's very thin and very strong. Downside is that you need to avoid heat by taking very small passes. All I needed to...

Very nice! May I ask how you crinked the blades?

Judging by the adjustment screw, I would say 1" to 1 1/4". I do shorter folder blades that are around 3 or 4 inches and the blades come out within .0005. If the chuck is dressed properly, I see no reason you could not hold those tolerances throughout the length of the chuck.

The tool has several holes which allow you to change the angle of the attachment. Here it shows the angle right out of the box. There are 4 holes so you can change the angle. Using the last hole will change the angle so it's almost horizontal. I don't have the clearance (yet) so I cannot...

The surface grinder arrived the other day. The idiot FedEx driver left it directly in front of the garage door. When the wife went to work, she backed into it and crushed the box a little. Fortunately, the box was well packed. Everything inside was unscathed. It arrived fully assembled and...

Just ordered an OBM Surface Grinder attachment for my KMG. I used to have access to a fully automated surface grinder where I used to live. Well, I still have access to it but it's 2 hours away. I'll tell you that machine spoiled the crap out of me. Set it up, push the button and go have a cup...

I just replaced my glass. It was originally put on with JB Weld. In order to get the old one off, I had to break it up with a hammer. Then I had to heat it up with a torch and chip the pieces off one by one. I don't think the glass would ever shatter. Even if it did, the pieces are going nowhere!

Try this place. I've purchased all my motors and drives from them. If you call them, they can put package together for you. https://dealerselectric.com/

I would like to see these with the bore diameter a bit smaller but would these work? https://www.knifekits.com/vcom/step-drill-075-145-for-bht-p-1095.html

Very nice!!

What a mess!! 5 folders and a set of kitchen knives in various stages. I may just have to clean my bench. Things are getting lost. Here is a pic of a folder that is almost done. Needs some finishing work. Excuse the crappy iPhone pic. I have not setup my little photo studio yet.
