    Problem with Craftsman grinder

    I've been using this grinder for over a year now with no problems, but today every time I turned the switch on it overloaded the outlet and tripped the reset. Anyone know what might cause this issue? I tried all three outlets in my garage, and it did the same thing each time.

    Big bellied skinner

    This one is made from 01 tool steel, with 3.75" blade. The scales are walnut, and the pins are copper. I haven't completed a sheath for it yet, but one will be included. $100 with a leather sheath, or $130 with rawhide.

    Big bellied skinner

    Thanks guys! Yeah, I like it much better this way myself. Tried going low cost to see if there was any more interest in some budget friendly knives. There wasn't so I figured why the hell should I stick with that ugly mess I had.

    piled construction hunter from smelted steel - what could be more, "neo" than a smelt

    That's a beauty, Kevin. I'd love to give smelting a shot one of these days, too.

    Big bellied skinner

    I decided that I just wasn't happy with the looks of this one, so I gave it a makeover.

    Big bellied skinner

    Thanks guys, but I have decided that I'm just not happy with it. I cut the cord off last night and plan on adding some walnut scales. I haven't made a rawhide sheath in a while, so I've got one of those in mind too.

    Big bellied skinner

    I just finished this one up from a piece of 01 steel I had. The cutting edge is 3.75" long. It was all stock removal, just wanted something to work on my grinding skills. I'm feeling much more confident with that now, but I know I still have a long ways to go. I would appreciate any...

    Simple skinner

    My plan is to knock out a bunch of these in order to spend more time focusing on forging and grinding. Nothing special, just 1084 steel, 9.5" OAL with a 4.25" blade, which I hot blued for corrosion resistance. The tang has a coat of truck bedliner under the cord wrap. After fighting with...

    Walnut and old file

    Thanks! Yeah, I finally got photobucket to work using my cell phone. I guess wasn't liking something with my camera.

    Walnut and old file

    Crap, nevermind. I can't get any image hosting site to work today. Photobucket keeps giving me error messages, and flikr gives me these red "x"'s. Tried picasa, but I can't figure out how to get the img code from there.

    Walnut and old file

    I forged this one out of an old file I found in my great aunt's barn. It has a little hamon action going on, but it's my first attempt at it and I didn't do a very good job of making it show. Walnut handle with an awesome grain pattern and copper hardware. The sheath is wet formed veggie...

    A pair of short bush swords

    I like those profiles a lot. They look like they would chop very well.

    First Interracial?? spelling :)

    When I first saw this title I thought we'd be looking at a damascus blade :9: Great job on the integral, though!
