Oh Wow, that is really outstanding

Doubble what Ed says, but don't wait for the headache, when your eyes begin to burn from the fumes its time to air things out.

ok, got it, thanks guys very much.

I recently bought a Double Barrel kiln based on Ed's recommendation and am getting ready to attempt a temper on some AEB-L. I want to treat some thin paring knives and have read that the furnace should be set to ramp back up very slowly to temp once the door is opened and the knives are placed...

The little time I have been on this forum, I have always been in awe of your workmanship. Would love to buy a set but probably a bit out of my income range.

Please do yourself a favor and look at the full face mask with positive pressure air flow. 3m may make one of the best. They have a battery powered fan that draws air through a filter and delivers it to a full face mask. You can wear your glasses with them and have a beard as well. They are...

Dang, that's nice

Looks very close to somebody named Loveless

With that low humidity, you really don't need a mechanical dryer. Packing in sawdust is not good as it traps the moisture in the wood blank. Stack the wood with about 1" separation in a place where air can flow around it. The denser woods take longer so will need longer duration to become...

Well done sir.

Oh yeh, we love the sight of blood, someone elses. Every time I see one of these it makes me think I should sell my buffer. Too useful to do that, but you sure make me a lot more careful. Thanks for sharing.

I can tell she is a very fine craftsman. Much cuter than you as well, LOL.

Ed, I don't know how you get any work done answering our dumb questions. Bless you. I believe you answered my question on how you deal with the kiln height. You still end up about 3" away from the ceiling coil. I'm guessing you can do 4 or five knives at a time like that. Guess it's time to...

Thanks again Ed for your valued input. Do you find the 4.25 height of the oven to be a handicap? I'm not sure which oven you have, assuming your oven is only this height, could you share how you have dealt with this limited height? Thanks again for your help.

Ed, I was hoping you would have something to say about the Paragon thank you for the information on accuracy. So the Paragon has more built in accuracy than the Even Heat, that is good to know and answers an unasked question. Would you address my concern regarding the 41/4" height of the...

Lead Dog; hey thanks for your reply. I found if very thoughtful and informative. I had not thought about cutting slots in a firebrick to stand the blades up. That seems like better idea thank using a cradle like the Evenheat has. I was hoping to get more replies and feedback [please don't...

I took care of my eye protection and lung protection at the same time. It was expensive, but the 3m fan powered mask covers the entire face, will not fog and totally protects two very important parts of my anatomy. The powered fan keeps the face mask from fogging. The outside of the mask has...

Thinking about taking the plunge into a heat treat oven. Most of what I do is in AEB-L and I'm sure I will be asking for advice on how to heat treat, but it does look fairly straight forward and doable for a non pro like me. I'm looking at the Paragon double barrel 24 and the Evenheat KO 22.5...

Maybe we need to open a whine and cheese section for you guys and your success stories. There must be a morel to these stories somewhere, hmmmm let me think.

Mr. Doyle, I don't know you from Adam but have in the short time I been on this forum come to admire your work. I pray you are successful in your endeavor but even more so will continue to share your work on this forum and on Bladeforum. Your work is the kind one aspires to and is an...
