Got it Randy, thank you. Man, we got good people here and I appreciate it.

CHRIS, YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I am glad to hear you are back in the game. I am in the process of building my first folder ever and my first knife in nearly five years. I watched your video the other day to confirm some things I had bouncing around in my head. Glad...

If there are any questions about any of the items that may be there, please post them so I will be sure to find the answers for you. I will read all updates to this thread prior to leaving in the morning to get the latest information and requests. You guys are great. Thanks

Dan, Your contribution will make a difference. I know she will be gratefull. Thank you. I wish I could give her something but I can't so I will try to help her in my own way.

Chris, I got it and you are VERY generous to Gracie. She will be very happy. Like the others I appreciate you trusting me to get her the cash. Thank you sir.

If all goes well I will be going to visit Gracie tomorrow. I plan to test all the tools and take photos of the shop. I should be able to come back with a price for the entire shop. I am really hoping that someone out there is anxiously waiting for this price and throws their name in the hat...

Thanks guys for the trust. You can be confident that every penny will get into her hands.

Dwane, Thank you also for your generous donation to Gracie. I can't wait to withdraw the money and take her a check. That and selling the shop will make a big difference for her.

Stan, Thanks for your very generous donation to help out Gracie. Can you please send me your address? Send it to the same email above. I am glad you trust me but I want Gracie to have the opportunity to say thank you herself and it will also keep things transparent for the rest of the people...

OK guys. First off I would like to thank all the people offering to send gas money. I did not intend for my "Scrape together gas money" comment to solicit donations. I can swing a trip down there, multiple trips may be an issue. If you would like to donate to Gracie, you can send cash to me...

The Wylie shop was moved to Royse City. The Royse City one is where you want to go.

Anthony, On the road between Fate and my place (1138) is a machine shop called CAZAD. They will be able to do it. Not sure what they would charge but the guy is pretty nice that owns it.

This will sound kinda funny but I have already put my name in the hat for this and have decided to make my own so if by chance I am picked as the winner, please pick another person to give this to. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to everyone.

Pick me, Pick me, Pick me. I love the multicolored scales like this. Had on with some red and it was awesome. These colors are even better.

I will try to give her a call. She is 120 miles from me but I may be able to scramble some gas money together and run down there. She definitely needs to know what his stuff is worth or someone will take advantage of her. Sure wish I had some cash, I could use some of those tools.

Fergy35, after all the things I have built, I better be able to lay a fair weld. Actually the photo of the welds was to show a mistake I made and had to correct. I cut the upright too short and had to add a piece of steel under it so the saw would fit. I forgot to mention that in the first post...

Where are you? There is bound to be someone close by that can weld. You should post your location in your control panel so everyone can see where you are. There may be several people close by. I live near Dallas and have had a LOT of people to my shop, some to learn, others needing help...

Don't use the bucket, use a brake drum from a pickup truck. Make a table about 2.5' square and recess the brake drum in the center. Pipe air up through the bottom. As you forge you rake fresh coal around the fire. I used a small squirrel cage blower and had a switch to turn it on and off. Turn...

I am not sure what happened to the photos, I uploaded them in order but they got out of whack somehow. Edit: I played with it a bit and got the photos right.

As many of you know I have always made fixed blades. I used an angle grinder to cut fairly close to profile and then ground the profile to shape and proceeded with the rest of the knife build. Well now I am taking a shot at building a folder and need to conserve materials (damascus) as much...
