I keep meaning to get a seamer at HF but always manage to forget when I'm there!!

Finally some real forward progress!! Only 33 degrees but I had to do something on this project! Most all sub assemblies are done. The biggest PITA was to try and get all the keyed parts to fit together all at the same time. I thought this part would be the easiest and I was WRONG!! LOL!! I had...

God I hate that foil!! If I ever seal one of these upwithout cutting myself I'm gonna throw a party!!

Hope to get out there today? Suppose to be mid 30s!! A friggin heat wave!! Snow here has been pretty slow but constant. 1" or 2 here 5-6" there but it's been cold the whole time so most of it has stuck around! This Winter I think you Southern guys have gotten bigger 1 time storms than us!! It's...

Man I want to work on this thing but it's so friggin cold out!!

Most of the exterior painted with High Temp paint (shop is damp, so just a bit of rust preventing, sure it won't last?). Firebricks are all cut, too! Everything has to dry for a day. Winter in New England Cellar is cold so paint takes at least a day to dry to handle! Nothing will get done...

Well, I'm finally getting back on this project! Who was I kidding when I said I was gonna get one thing done a day! Between holidays, family and colds!! GEEEEZZZZZ! Anyway, gas portion for this more or less done. All dry fit need to assemble forge to make sure it all fits and finalize with...

Cool knife!! A lot of people are into those huge Bowie style knives! I personally like a more compact hunting or EDC style knife. Don't get me wrong I've made the larger type knives but they are definitely not my favorites. It's like I've always wanted to make a sword, but why!! LOL!

That's exactly what I did. I insulated mine on 5 sides (Glass front I didn't do) with some Kao-Wool I had from a previous project. It will hold + or - 3 degrees. Only problem with it is if I do large knives.

Curious did he color the Cactus Juice? Because most everything I've stabilized with un-colored CJ looks pretty much the same? The thing I like about stabilizing antlers is the pith in the center is what really soaks it up! You could almost do the same thing with a thin CA glue. I would only do...

I originally was gonna build one. But I was an outside salesman at the time and got a quarterly bonus check at the time and rewarded myself!! This is a good option if you have the time and knowledge to do it safely!

I have a Paragon that 24" deep and has their digital controller also 240V. I chose this for some reasons over the Evenheat. 1 of the reasons was that they came standard with electronic relays and they weren't an up charge it also came with a door power disconnect again no additional charge. The...

Are you also using a magnet to check if your getting your temp high enough prior to your quench??

Press I built is a 3.5" cylinder just under 3000 psi according to the gauge should be about 12T. Works good for what I do.

Great idea! I thought about using a right angle drill but I'm sure the hole hang would work much better and foot switch is genius! What did he use to hold the billet?

There are a couple plans out there. I bet if you are willing to wait for a right angle gear drive motor at the right price you could build one for under 1K

I was cruzing his channel and figured I'd copy link and post it! Hope this helps.

Check out Tyrell Knife works. He bought a new one for around $800 if I remember right?
