thanks Laurence :)

thanks, kbog :)

one the latest knives i finished thats the only good pic i have of it Steel Sverker 21 (D2), 4.55mm/ .179″ . OAL: 283mm / 12.1" Edge: chisel hollow ground with 3". 140mm / 5.5″ Handle: 130mm / 5.1" white G10 and carbon fiber butt of tang is used as impact tool or glass breaker i really love...

A lot of people mention steel and you seem ok with that, but just in case you can pretty much use anything thats durable and flat (and easily shaped) You got phonelics likecmiczrta and G10 like mentioned above, you got plexi glass and acrylic. Cardboard even, altho if you want to get serious...

Laurence, thanks. yeah things are pretty crazy here now I woukdnt call it dangerous but the unrest and tension is everywhere!! But yeah i get your point Brad, thanks a lot :) I tried that bowie once, and wanted to change it a bit but havent done so yet. The last time forging made me feel sorta...

i havent been active here for a while, just whats happening in the country, personal life affects my work but this is what you ought to expect to see finished in the near..ish future.

Thanks guys Now i dont want to be negative, so i will say i did a job!! After almost three hours i reached this and was content, if it didnt work out then i will see if i can turn this to another knife and start another one But Josh Dabney gave me the idea that i can still rework this...

I went with the middle one! The drawing, only God knows what i will end up with after forging!! Laurence, what arch in the spine? As for the handles thats just a preshape to give me an image for the tang. It can change a bit, handles have always given me... A challenge. Each squar is...

Will use the bar on top Its a half of a truck's leaf spring, aprox 28*8mm (1.125* 0.32") I want to go with 6mm/ 1/4" aprox to with thin it at the same time widening it to the blade with i want. Then start the 'standard' forging prcess which till now im confused about... Ahould be fun!

Thanks Shawn I have no experience whatsoever eith these so dont know... Actually i still havent figured put knife balance in general, but on these i think it would be infront of the guard, at ricasso at best

Hello!! I finally decided to take a stab at this Getting bit stressed with stock removal and local problems might leave me with no one (good) willing to HT my sverker 21 knives. So at least this will be from leaf springs, which would be relatively easy I sketched and designed a few...

Thanks Frank I have an inverter, so im good! :) it overloads around the 30 htz tho ror some reason... Any idea how toccalculate the surface speed? I had a link but cant find it

Thanks Rody I will get the exact measurements anyway when i remove the old one from the grinder. And in case i go with regukar machining will take it to the guy and ask for exact one but with bigger diameter

hey guys, anybody happen to have a CAD drawing (or anything that can be used with CNC mill) for a NWG drive wheel of 6"? or can make one for me? :shifty: 2" x 6" with the "curvature", will get bore size soon i think this would answer some questions: if i buy this online it will cost me A...

Thanks Andrew Yeah i know that, and he was supposed to use shims, but didnt, ao instead of telling hin again i decided i will do it myself with either of these methods

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reRXvvW6d1M sorry for the quality of the video! these two blades warped in HT, then were surface ground (surface grinder didnt straighten then as requested) the two options i see are reheat with shims (no idea if that would work for me or not) or taper tangs and...

Thanks PT doc, i already bought dewalt set, 14/18. Hope they work If not will check the ones you mention out :)
