Just curious if anyone has done a twisted Damascus bar, then cut and restack and then twist the opposite direction?

I just put some white pearl kirinite on a Damascus blade. Can I dip this back into a ferric chloride solution without it staining the kirinite? Unfortunately I do not have a scrap piece of the white to see it it stains it...

Question, I am seeing some used 3 phase disc sanders around. Can I put a VFD drive on it to make it a variable speed and run on single phase???

I cut up a pecan log the other weekend, man, did I hit the jackpot! I can't believe all the different looks that I got. I still have half the log to cut up. I have all of these stabilized with cactus juice now. I wet the 2 individual scales so I could get a look at it.

This is my latest set of scales that I made. I put them on a 1084 chefs knife and my small personal carry. The small knife is 1084 and 15N20. I Make the handle material with shavings from the wood. Make sure you zoom in on the handle pictures!

Hello, I am about 2 years into my knife making journey. I am doing some forging and some stock removal. This past spring and summer I built a blown propane forge and a hydraulic forging press. I have been making some pattern welded billets. I have been wanting to upgrade to a 2x72 grinder and I...
