    Working with bronze for a guard

    Thanks Ted. That does help. At least I know I didn't pick up something I can't use.

    Working with bronze for a guard

    I picked up a 1/4" thick piece of "bearing bronze" that I'd like to use for a guard and spacer on a knife project. I haven't worked with bronze yet, and am assuming there are different kinds out there. Will this kind work? I plan on filing and sanding it to shape. Didn't know if it can be cold...

    Where To Get New Logo And Stencils

    I started out with 2 sizes to use for different size blades. I found that the larger size I originally ordered was too big. Just recently put in a reorder and got a smaller size to use. My stencils are through TUS Technologies. Been very happy with the product. They come as 5 stencils on one...

    Making Test Coupons

    They will definitely be harder to break after tempering. To check grain, I've always snapped them before tempering.

    What's going on in your shop?

    It’s axe grinding day! I’ve got three of these on the bench. Need to finish profiling them. Might get as far as detailing one. Still need to research some designs.

    What about stonewash finish

    Here's an idea I've been wanting to try. It uses a 2 X 72 grinder to power a tumbler made from PVC.

    Shop Music Thread- what are you listening to today?

    Saw them back during the "Justice For All" tour. Good show.

    What's going on in your shop?

    If that's a metal can, any reason you couldn't use it as is? Maybe build a wooden cradle for it to make moving it easier.

    A 7” Santoku and small paring knife for a customer. This is some hybrid resin and dyed Chestnut burl. Really beautiful stuff.

    What's going on in your shop?

    Prepping for glue up on a few kitchen knives. Got some more dyed Chestnut burl I’m dying to see finished up.

    Shop Music Thread- what are you listening to today?

    I think it'll be a little singer/songwriter music for today's hand sanding session. This is James McMurtry, a live version of a song off his second album. I go back to his first two albums mostly. Maybe dig out some Bruce Cockburn later.

    Post pics here for critique - must have thick skin

    I've been curious exactly how the professionals use their editing software to enhance the photos. Hadn't really thought about combining multiple images, just adjusting a single one. Caleb Royer offers a service where he uses a photo you send in. The "Before and After" pics on his website are...

    Now this is a cool grinder

    Wow, talk about versatility. Compact, mobile, and everything fits on one stand? I didn't catch what size belts it runs.

    What's the best way to sell knives as a hobbyist, not as a business?

    Most of my sales have been word of mouth or via social media- gives me all the work I can handle currently. FB and IG have been great for showing my work. I'd recommend IG as a place to direct folks that want to see pieces you've made, but wouldn't necessarily rely on it for sales. I've been...
