Thank you Kevin. Bill

Kevin, Would it be possible for you to list in accordance to your preference, the oils above? Also their availability and where they might be purchased? I could probably spring for 5 gallons if it were necessary. I know everyone has an opinion on quenchants including home brewed concoctions...

I'm researching. I read a thread somewhere that states McMaster Carr 28 second is good for 01 and they have 5 gallons for about $78.00 in stock. bill

I tried the search but didn't really confirm anything. I heard of Chevron Texaco, McMaster Carr, Parks, AAA, and Brownells. I would prefer a known quenchant as opposed to vegetable oils, etc. Although I am new at this, I think this would be the best procedure for me. Can someone recommend...

Great looking knives, excellent workmanship! How do you attach your guards, are they soldered? Thanks for showing. Bill

I know the importance of using a respirator, but what kind? Is there one type that is suitable for grinding different woods, etc? Names and model numbers would help. Thanks. Bill

Wow!!! Thanks Stacy. Bill

I bought a solder kit that consists of "Stay Clean" flux and "Stay Brite" solder which melts at 430 degrees. It also came with a flux brush and and a stainless steel brush for clean up. It was supposed to include instructions but all I see is MSDS info in several languages but no instructions...

Larry, I got some "majestic maple" from R. W. Wilson in West Virginia. My plan is to sand until I get the desired finish and then apply the majestic. I plan to rub and burnish with 0000 steel wool and maybe some old denim until I get the desired result. I'm new to this so I will play it by...

Larry, I got the wood, it looks great and the service was fast! Thanks again. Bill

John, Do you mean using an end mill in the drill press and plunging the material out, or, using a cross vise and actually missling the material out? Thanks, I hope I made that clear. Bill

I'm just a newbie and have never used Acra Glas in a knife build, but I have used it many times in gunsmithing and it is great. It will be what I use for scales and such. Bill

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I realize that pinning is necessary. I don't have a mill, so what would be the best method of removing the material? Would a dremel and a routing attachment work? Would that be effective for micarta and hard woods? Thanks for the help. Bill

Can you use two pieces of wood, bone, whatever scales and mill, or chisel out the outline of the tang on the inside of the scales so that it appears the handle is one piece? If done correctly, super flat mating surfaces and properly epoxied, would this work? Thanks. Bill

Larry, That works for me, thanks. Bill

Larry, I have paypal, now what? Bill

PM sent. Bill

Where can I find highly figured Tiger Maple? Thanks. Bill

What type of solder and flux do you guys recommend for soldering stainless steel and nickel silver? I would like to solder a threaded portion of stainless to a stainless butt cap to complete a hidden tang. Would the same solder be good for nickel silver? Does the low temp (430 degree melt) work...

Thanks for the reply. Bill
