Patrice and shankmaker, Thanks for the responses. I will go to your website, Patrice as soon as I finish this response. I did make the belt yesterday and test ran it today. It seemed to work fine. I put a little bit of neatsfoot oil on it and will let it rest until tomorrow. Then I will...

Thanks for the replies. I will make a new one today with a new belt. The previous one had been hanging in my shop for a very long time and was probably dried out. I will skive it, cement it together, and then hit the glue joint with a hammer to flatten it. (The last was recommended to me.)...

What is the best way to join the ends of a leather belt? I made a 1 by 42 leather belt for stropping on my grinder. It was an old belt blank that I had laying around. I skived the ends and used barge cement to glue it together. It worked for a while. but blew apart today on me(VERY EXCITING...

Guys, Thanks for all of the replies and help. It might be the old linen micarta. It was available about 20 years ago. No photo of it yet, because I have not finished the blade polishing and sharpening it. Right now the blade is covered with blue masking tape because it already bit me once, even...

Cliff, Thanks for the reply. I sanded to 800 and then buffed it with white compound. Is there anything else you recommend? I am curious about how it will eventually look like. Regards, Fred

Tracy, Thanks for the reply. How do we protect micarta from these changes? I am also a little confused about the color change, in that it was in a drawer that is in my shop that has been opened very few times and for very short amount of time over the last 20+ years. I mostly have fluorescent...

Hello, I have a piece of Micarta that I recently found in the bottom of a tool box drawer in the shop. I thought that it was either a brown or red micarta and decided to use it on a knife that I was in a hurry to make. When I started machining it and grinding and sanding the exterior finish...

BruceM, They probably tasted like baked leather. Fred

Jason, If you are in a big hurry for bits, look in the yellow pages. Find the tool supply houses in your area that cater to machinist. They will have every type of drill bit that you can imagine. Look in the Tool-Tool and die maker or just tools. Where I am Dewitt or DTC same thing, is a...

Denton, Maybe he could send it to Patrice and have it included in his recipe book! IG, I was born in Cuba, and while their cuisine is heavy in the use of spices, they do not use much or any hot chili's. So I did not taste any until I was an adult, trying Chinese szechuan (not sure about...

IG and Larry, Thanks for the replies and explanations! This part- I started eating food with hot peppers around 1973 maybe before you were born, but anyway, the reason for the gloves, if you were to get that sauce on your hands, and several hours latter you rubbed your eye, or scratched you...
