    My local store is out of stock, but a check of availability of close stores shows it in stock at several stores semi close. Maybe they can transfer between stores IDK

    HT oven build!

    Totally made from recycled pottery kiln bricks. I probably have less than $200 dollars in it. Of course that was before Covid and PB. Pre Biden.

    HT oven build!

    I'm having problems posting pics from Chrome book. Heat treat oven is blurry in background. Pic is of my favorite handle sanding machine though. Oscillating spindle sander that I use standard paper on instead of factory drums. Dust collection is incredible with standard shop vac and spindle size...

    HT oven build!

    Yeap TRUE ENOUGH. But for side walls that's not a problem, been there and done that. The top and bottom of pottery kilns are golden for top, bottom and door. But to be truthful mine was rectangular kiln.

    Stencils

    IMG for me too. The lady I talked to was like a flash back in the Andy Griffin Mayberry day. Refreshing! Took all the time in the world to explain to me about the whole process etc down to the most minute detail. And I didn't have to hit 1 for English.

    HT oven build!

    You should consider a used Pottery Kiln. NOT for the kiln but for the bricks. I see them often on Craigs List, etc for cheap or give away. I lucked into one that someone used the wrong clay or something and destroyed the elements. I was extra lucky as it had 2" of extra insulation outside the...

    Looking for Grinder Recommendations

    I have and love my North Ridge grinder but it's no longer made. Reeder grinders are mentioned favorably on another knife maker forum I visit. Like stated above VS is a must along with the option of having two 1 1/2" tooling arms.

    Cable damascus

    My teacher on making knives used timbering skidder cable used in logging. It was maybe 3/4' diameter. Forged welded ends first then twisted. Used a trip hammer and made thousands of knives. Borax is your friend.

    I'll be the odd man out. The jig sells for less than this. I understand it supposedly comes with X tra clamp. BUT one can buy the jig new from owner for $625 with no risk.

    Grinding jigs

    Grinding jigs

    Did I mention I bought a new RH hardness tester. LOL No way I can justify what I"ve spent. But I will say my knife building has paid ten fold. My twin daughters went through college. A mutual friend introduced them to a "financial" college advisor. She helped them SO MUCH! I made her probably...

    Grinding jigs

    I've looked at that CDH. That definately looks like the perfect jig! But as a hobbyist knife maker as I look around my shop and see the thousands of dollars of equipment I remind myself how it all started. I picked up a custom knife and thought no way I'd spend $350 on a knife when I can make...
