Apparently you went to a lot of trouble to round the bottom of the v's when cutting the pieces out for the accordian. If you drilled a round hole at the apex of each v and sawed so that your kerf met the holes at a tangent, the intersections would already be rounded. Am I making any sense...

I haven't read the whole thread so someone may have mentioned this. I've found it easier to drill through at the apexes and then saw to them. That way they're already rounded. Ray http://www.damascusknife.com

I've had this piece of wood laying around for years and had no idea it finished and looked so good. Small utility knife. 15N20/1084 Damascus. Stabilized Amboyna Burl. German silver fittings with red spacers. Just finished up a few small knives and have been working on three billets of...

I'd like to see a tutorial about building a handle that has a full slip on guard with a scale handle. Can't explain it but here's an example of one by Bruce Bump. http://www.brucebumpknives.com/images/mayhem2.jpg

When putting on handles, I really hate getting epoxy all over my fingers and then using solvent to get it off, but haven't found any gloves that I can work with without making a total mess of things. Anyone got any suggestions?

Sorry. Just figured everybody knew. Ray

Been there. Hurts. I've had several break but only one hit me in the face. I have noticed that they might in some instances give a little warning - start to thump or make some other unusual noise. Maybe not all the time, though. Listen to your machine as you work. Raymond Coon...

I posted a request in the "Military Knife" forum that probably should have gone here. I'm looking for spacer material in the colors of the Viet Nam Service ribbon. (my customer wants a stacked handle with black Micarta and those colors on either end) I'd rather not spend a day looking...

I have a customer who wants a fighter with spacers in the colors of the Viet Nam Military Service Ribbon. (Stacked handle - black Micarta) Rather than me spend a lot of time looking, I was hoping that someone had already found the materials for one of their knives and could save me some...

Where? Didn't get it. Ray

Eight Inch Chef's Knife. Don't know what to call the Damascus pattern. Matching Damascus fittings. Stabilized Amboyna Burl handle. Edge quenched. Click the photo, I guess, I still haven't figured out how to get a full sized photo in a message. Be sure to get on my mailing list to be...

A set of kitchen knives going to the OKCA Show this weekend. Raindrop Damascus blades, Mokume Gane bolsters, stabilized Mammoth Ivory and (reconstituted) Jade spacers, Rosewood handles with Mosaic Pins. (I'm hoping the wood will darken more in the next few days - it usually does) Ray...

Cashier's check.

Thanks for the tip. Ray

Dan, their site doesn't give much information about taking CC orders when not face to face with the customer. Do they have a provision for telephone orders? Thanks for the help Ray

So, I bought the new Ipad so that I could use the App VirtualMerchant and accept credit card transactions at shows without 'phoning the transaction in (big noisy room, my poor hearing) The promise was instant verification, etc. After a lot of time invested in waiting on the phone to talk to...

There's another very good book on the subject if you're wanting to make Mokume: "Mokume Gane" by Steve Midgett.

Didn't grind any skin or fingernails off? I hate hitting a new 36 grit belt with some part of my hand. About bandsaw blades. You probably already know this, but....... I was having trouble with quickly dulling bi-metal blades or losing a tooth or two, which really caused problems. I went...
