Beautiful steel, Beautiful piece -Josh

I'd normally address you by name but I'm too lazy to type all that out :) I'm curious as to your location since you said you picked up in person at Sheffield. You could mod your 4" platen or probably better to build a 2" wide one for what you've already got. Pics would help with a...

I was getting nervous Boss :s12108: I was beginning to think Janik put the smackdown on me with the old Ban Hammer :hammer: Glad we're back up and running again :) -Josh

This is my opinion only so TIFWIW I have no experience with the TW90 but would recommend some consideration on the SG attachment. How much does it cost ? Will it give the SAME results as an actual surface grinder. A true hobby maker may not mind performing ALL their operations on a single...

Way too cool with the dice !!!! Masterful work as always Bruce :) -Josh

Looking great thus far ! I prefer to epoxy the liners to the scales first. Then attach those to the tang at "Glue-Up" -Josh

Wedge for removing the taper from the spindle. Removing the chuck from it's taper adapter is different and won't require the wedge. It is explained pretty well here- http://www.ehow.com/how_6576477_remove-drill-press-chucks.html Of course each manufacturer may be different and chucks with...

Great to hear what you've been up to Murph ! We're still here :) -Josh

Take this FWIW. I moved my Boyar Shultz in a pickup truck no problem at all. Estimated weight is 900# It is not an exact match to this machine so this would need verified but, My boyar is only held to the base with 4 bolts. So to move pretty much any SG you should remove the table and...

I like Exitium's recommendations. To that I'd add a Drill chuck to get you off to a good start with the Mill. I've got an edge finder kit but have never used it. I zero my cutter on the side of the work then move over half the width of the cutter to find the edge. Something I still need to...

I typically use my disc at 400 and up and also run slow in the 20 to 30% range on a 1750 RPM motor. I give fresh paper a shot of Windex but grits above 600 will still only give me a good cut for one side of a large blade. I find it a waste of time to attempt getting further life from the...

Mike, 1. I don't really know :) No prior machining experience other than my knifemaking endeavors. However Brian Fellhoelter is experienced and a backer of the belt conversion. I think pretty much everyone converts to belts so don't worry about it ;) 2. When it comes to the precision of...

Cool tool Calvin ! Looks like a WIP to me so you're in for August :) -Josh

I've finally had the opportunity to see Paul's dvds so I thought I'd give a little review of my impressions. The first video is Basic Pouch Sheaths, available from USAKnifeMakers here- http://usaknifemaker.com/books-videos-plans-c-97/videos-c-97-26/dvd-basic-pouch-sheaths-by-paul-long.html...
