Far better blowing towards the neighbors house than yer own! cool 1

Lookin' good, Russ! 2thumbs If a bit blurry.:rolleyes::D

I tape a blade up completly when working on a knife, but it'd be awfully hard to sand one taped up.:D Glad yer OK, relatively speaking. Heal quick! 2thumbs

I've had an oscillating spindle sander for quit a while, but I upgraded to this. A combination of both spindle and belt. I use it for the same stuff, but I can get the tops of the handles perpendicular, too.:D 2thumbs I use it a lot. $199

Ordered some of those Scalloped 1 inchers from Pop's last night. 2thumbs Thanks peoples! cool 1

The problem I've found with 4x36" Belt Sanders is the "platen" under the belt is never completely flat. I used JB Weld to attach a flat piece of steel to it. Mark your measurements all the way around your scales and watch carefully when you sand. It may be best to use an older 120 grit belt...

Thanks Les. I just tracked it down, too. 2thumbs Found some good prices on 2x72's there, too! That's a hint, Boss.

Les, that's what, www.popsknifesupply.com? Well, forget that one. It's takes me right to knifesupply. I saw the link in one of these posts, I'll go lookin'.

jcullen asked about the importance of belt direction but I've got another. Those of you that split your 2x72 inch belts in half, how exactly do you do it? I've asked this before on a different(across the Pond) Forum, but never got a straight answer. Now I'm at the point on a couple very...

Gotta agree there! 2thumbs Any pics of said "Pin Press"? Hey, I need all the help I can get! :D

I got a Tapered Reamer from Tracy after my last(actually first) bolster attempt. Lookin' froward to trying it. But I also had a problem with the JB Weld coming out around the pins when I attached the bolsters with it, before smashing the pins.

Check to see if you have a Metal Supermarket in your area. I got mine from my local store here in Buffalo. Worth a look. cool 1

Just another couple pics of some Argentine Lignum. A block I have that I planed, then sanded and buffed. 2thumbs Kinda looks like the stuff pictured above.

Congrats Clint! 2thumbs

Now it just seems to have the right look, darci. 2thumbs It clicks. cool 1

I wouldn't be pleased about that either.:mad: And I wasn't suggesting Ray would use scales/wood that wasn't dry. As I said, it can be difficult to tell when Lignum is dry.unsure

Ah! That I've heard of. Still gonna look into it though. cool 1

Well, there's one I haven't heard of! Now I'm gonna hafta look it up.cool 1 Can it be stabilized?

The "finger grooves", darci. That second one might be a bit uncomfortable. I doubt that's a "3 Finger" handle. That's kinda what it looks like. Other than that, maybe thin the handle a little bit, but if you remove that finger groove, it just might do it, Nice knife!!! 2thumbs Keep n...
