I use 2mm jewels from a company called Signity. At one time, they made them encased in a gold bezel. They would supply you with a special drill that was made specifically for the bezels. They simply snapped in. Just did a Google search and it seems that are now Swarovski...

Thank you all for the kind words. Feels good to finally get one done. Now I just have to finish the other six I have going. Thanks

I buy a lot of my buffing supplies at Caswell. Here is a link to some buffing information. http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/buffman.htm Ed's absolutely 100% correct in telling you about the dangers of a buffer. A pedestal buffer is bad enough but adding buffing wheel to a bench mounted...

Looks like a Don Morrow to me.

Thanks for the replies. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. It's been almost a year for me and I got to thinking about it last night. As much as I think it's going to suck, I know it will make me feel better once on the shop. I woke up at 4am this morning like a kid on Christmas morning. I...

It's been quite a while since I posted here. I still lurk around here and check out all the great work that you folks do. It's nice to see all the new faces coming on board and the willingness of everyone here to offer their advice, tips, tricks etc. This is a great Forum!! Kudos to Tracy and...

Great WIP Ryan. Thanks for sharing this with us. It's always nice to see the procedures other makers use to make their knives.

Looks like I made the big time too!!
