    2022 Knife in the Hat, Well it's getting to be that time of year

    That was my understanding as well but FD said to keep it as is and as of that point I was making one for him.

    @FD Kingery does that change who I make for?

    2022 Knife in the Hat, Well it's getting to be that time of year

    Actually, I am able to participate. I backed out of the client order, timeline for 24 knives wasn't realistic. So, if not too late count me in!

    2022 Knife in the Hat, Well it's getting to be that time of year

    Dang it! I was about to throw my name in and a client just emailed and placed a big order. They haven't fully confirmed yet so maybe.

    What's going on in your shop?

    Not sure about function, but I think the doublesided looks better. That way no matter what side you hold up you get to see the bevels

    Fake Scammer Instagram Sites

    yeah, pretty common on FB and IG. Generally it's the overseas accounts with what I call "gas station knives" and the junk damascus. They'll have tons of pics that are obviously not theirs or ones you've seen on other profiles. Then they'll contact you and try to sell you crap or say they can...

    First welding machine

    I have a forney and it works fine. I wouldn't call what I do welding, more like "I can stick 2 pieces of metal together". I don't "weld" enough to justify a more expensive unit and I can grind off the splatters. Once you get it, you will find reasons to make things. I made a wood burning grill...

    First welding machine

    I have a mig non-gas unit that uses flux core wire and it definitely doesn't have the cleanest welds. You can grind off the "splatters" and it's a little less trouble/expense than having gas.

    What's going on in your shop?

    I tape my blades for sharpening. I use the Ken Onion Worksharp and if you don't tape you will get small scratches. The thing works great but it can scratch a blade

    Sumthin new (to me, anyway)

    lol, the whole straw thing has come and gone. Even Starbucks is back to handing out plastic straws again. Death to the Turtles!

    I am an idiot!

    Yeah, no need to peen on wood. In fact, if a pin is too tight on wood scales it will cause the wood to crack later (ask me how I know! ruined a beautiful set of amboyna scales). Now I have the pins so they can easily slide in holes through both sides. Then lotsa epoxy!
