Has any one else had problems with static electricity discharge when grinding? It is mostly from the more aggressive grit belts, it shocks the *&^% out of me. I have run extra ground wire on the grinder without any help. If I run a ground off the knife it works, but a real pain. Thanks Steve

I made a sheath for a knife and it came out nice, except for one problem.(This is your basic pouch type sheath and the stitching comes up and over for 2 stitches). The blade is just barely cutting the stitch after some use. I am thinking of placing a brass rivet in the top hole which I think...
