I enjoyed fif when Inhad a tv lol. My main complaint was the tests... Not the silliness of them sommuch as the "inaccuracy" of them. Theres too many extra variables. Like for example... Having blades judged by how well they cut when swung by a judge. Well... Theres bound to be some fatigue and...

Thanks Ed! I think you have answered all my questions and more now. Tomorrow ill pick up the remaining odds and ends and get this going! To the others that replied. I also like that concentric pipe idea. They way it was mentioned to me is to use 1/4" square, keystock im thinking, placed between...

PID will be there yes... Moving to the back of the forge body. The diagrams just not to scale and I left that detail out.

I hope this works...

Its not a big dig either really so it may be doable... I need a trench about twenty to thirty feet long by perhaps six feet deep and however wide to keep it from filling back up.

Yeah lol its a decent size... I was lucky there but not so much with this wall problem. Weld up some beams, thats a great idea! Ill look into that... I was told it should be fine for many more years before I can get to it, but I guess not. The plan was to dig the outter wall and put in some...

I really dont know what to do with it atm. I purchased this home in 2018 it has a detached garage with basement. Approx 4000 square feet up and another 4000 downstairs. The foundation wall under the bay doors had cracks in it and huge beams supporting it. We were told its been like that for...

As far as I know you can use any number of oils, peanut, canola, so long as you cool the steel to 1000 degrees in about .5 seconds. But to get the most out of a 1095 quench you need a fast quench like parks 50. Which I believe (dont quote me lol) to get the most out of a fast quench you really...

TruOil! Great idea thanks!

Large knife with a rough sanded walnut handle... The wood is integral to the knife design so I would rather not change it, but its a bit slick. Ive considerd checkering the wood for more grip. What else can be done?

Wow thank you. That covered all my questions and more!

Does anyone know off hand what the general bevel angle is in degrees for a scandi edge? Specifically the mora knives preferably. Also im wondering thoughts and opinions on these? I have a couple moras from when they were cheap. Now it seeks like everyone and their dog has a mora. Im into a...

So true, hopefully others have a better experience with health care than ive had. Thanks!

Honestly ive suspected RA for a number of years but the medical systemmhere is so slow and difficult. I was tested once and the doctor said the test came back negetive for RA but when I saw my medical files quite a time later it said "tested positive for Rheumatoid arthritis, but probably not...

Those look amazing! Have you used gun kote before? Ive been wondering how well it hold up compared to other spray on's.

Youre correct that is pricey. I wonder if forge welding flatbar would be cheaper by much. Thanks!

I use a step bit as well and finish with a drum sander. It works well for me BUT im trying to find a way to slightly round the inner edges of the hole uniformly sort of like the inside of ring. I used to use drill bits and slowly go up in size... But I found it tedious changing all the bits and...

Wow... Sorry I havent much to add but I learned some new stuff! I never considerd bowl blocks but thats a great idea!

I use zip cut discs, never had an issue... Is this wrong?

How would you go about getting one? Like 2"x4"x4" Would you forge weld flat bar? Is there a place that sells small blocks?
