You will not regret it. Top notch

Call IMG or Tuss they will give you a honest evaluation

Totally made from recycled pottery kiln bricks. I probably have less than $200 dollars in it. Of course that was before Covid and PB. Pre Biden.

I'm having problems posting pics from Chrome book. Heat treat oven is blurry in background. Pic is of my favorite handle sanding machine though. Oscillating spindle sander that I use standard paper on instead of factory drums. Dust collection is incredible with standard shop vac and spindle size...

Yeap TRUE ENOUGH. But for side walls that's not a problem, been there and done that. The top and bottom of pottery kilns are golden for top, bottom and door. But to be truthful mine was rectangular kiln.

IMG for me too. The lady I talked to was like a flash back in the Andy Griffin Mayberry day. Refreshing! Took all the time in the world to explain to me about the whole process etc down to the most minute detail. And I didn't have to hit 1 for English.

You should consider a used Pottery Kiln. NOT for the kiln but for the bricks. I see them often on Craigs List, etc for cheap or give away. I lucked into one that someone used the wrong clay or something and destroyed the elements. I was extra lucky as it had 2" of extra insulation outside the...

I have and love my North Ridge grinder but it's no longer made. Reeder grinders are mentioned favorably on another knife maker forum I visit. Like stated above VS is a must along with the option of having two 1 1/2" tooling arms.

Opaul, are you electro etching your makers mark or lazer? Very nice!

My teacher on making knives used timbering skidder cable used in logging. It was maybe 3/4' diameter. Forged welded ends first then twisted. Used a trip hammer and made thousands of knives. Borax is your friend.

I'll be the odd man out. The jig sells for less than this. I understand it supposedly comes with X tra clamp. BUT one can buy the jig new from owner for $625 with no risk.

Funny I have 5 revolvers and one semi pistol. What ever blows your hair back! LOL I still have not tried my jig like Opaul has. But I will soon and will post results. Cool thing is I have a student that wants to learn to make knives and coming by weekly for lessons. We will see how it goes.

Did I mention I bought a new RH hardness tester. LOL No way I can justify what I"ve spent. But I will say my knife building has paid ten fold. My twin daughters went through college. A mutual friend introduced them to a "financial" college advisor. She helped them SO MUCH! I made her probably...

I've looked at that CDH. That definately looks like the perfect jig! But as a hobbyist knife maker as I look around my shop and see the thousands of dollars of equipment I remind myself how it all started. I picked up a custom knife and thought no way I'd spend $350 on a knife when I can make...

I bought one exactly like yours. However I've not even used it yet but hope to soon. My question is how do you flip sides and keep symmetrical using the adjustable sliding bolts. I've been watching a you tuber Gentry Custom and he uses a similar jig. I couldn't find the exact video ( there are 3...

Troubled youth is a hard description anymore to be honest. When I grew up attention span could be adjusted. But yes I have "dealt" with kids who's parents said he had attention span defict. Come to find out he didn't when I explained reality to him what could happen to him if he didn't do...

Yeap I watched a you tube video interview with her by someone at Blade show. Interesting video.

If I caught right what I think she said is she does this in different styles to distinguish between different kinds of steel she uses. Mind Blown. But it seems most of her steel she uses is HC. But still.

Wow I'm 455 in dog years (65). And I've lived a dog's life. Not really but its funny. I've been blessed.
