I catch ALOT in the AM. I got 5 at once this morning. My personal record is 9 spam threads with a single swing of the hammer :hammer: What/who ever post all this crud appear to somehow be attracted to Mr. Coffee's forum. I've been getting a couple a day just from his forum it seems lately...

You have no worries. The only way to mess up your temper is to EXCEED that temperature. Feel free to cook it as long as you want at 250 without harm. -Josh

DonL, I checked into the broken link for entry #5 above. It seem this thread no longer exists which means it was deleted. My best guess would be it was deleted by the author but that's only a guess. -Josh

Go with 1084 for several reasons. 1. It won't require or benefit from a soak held at an accurate temperature like 5160 , O1, or any stainless. This is important to achieve consistency right off the bat. 2. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses to suit your needs. I don't believe...

1525 soak for 10 minutes to harden temper 375 for 2 hours twice. That'll make you a fine knife. I give it a soft back draw after tempering. Also done twice. -Josh

Yes this is most excellent ! -Josh

Beautifully clean as always. Great canvas for the engraving. Fine choice of engravers ! Doug's good people and does beautiful work. -Josh

Beautiful KT Gonna do a matching belt for this one ? -Josh

Jim, In the comments below the video Brian says he's etching on AC. This is the darkening setting for the two step etch. I do the two step without trouble but I may give this a try -Josh

Me and mine are all doing well. Finally even getting back to working on a knife or two after doing my kit knife tutorial, restoring a DoAll hydraulic surface grinder and fabricating a belt conversion. I've got a couple forged blades laying around that need handles and Working on an 8" chefs...

Glad to have you back around Bubba ! -Josh

No problem. Here's what S.R Johnson has to say about breaking in a cork belt. I did similar just didn't use compound and soaked the belt in water first. http://www.trugrit.com/cork_belt_break_in.htm -Josh

Frank, I did the initial break in by pushing a piece of 1080 barstock flat against the belt running full tilt for a few minutes. This more flattened down the cork than turned it smooth like you're thinking. It still has a coarse appearance in comparison to your typical belt. I wouldn't...

No problem FWIW My experience mirrors others. The cork belts last and last. I don't use it all the time but I've got a 600 that's probably at least 3 years old. -Josh
