Thanks for taking the time for that noob question Calvin, I appreciate the information and insight. ps. on re-reading my question I see how it might leave the mistaken impression that I was making a qualitative opinion re: washers vs. milling. Of course this was not my intention. As indicated, I...

The quintessential pocket knife, really beautiful Calvin, my kind of knife. Love the warm colour to the scales.

Incredible look of quality there. Congrats on the skill.

That's a beautiful knife. Congrats.

Thank you teter09, those pointers were great and just the type of info needed. Appreciate it. gwf

Well I have come around to the notion of the DIY kmg style grinder as the best route forward. No thread jack meant but unfortunately the drill press question is just as important and as far as I know you can't DIY them to save some money. :) It's discouraging to read so many negative customer...

I don't think that dryer is gonna make it.....lol.

Wow. The feather damascus is really beautiful....the stag too.

Beauties! Can you relate what the handles are made of in the first and last knife...very striking.

Interesting knives...that Vulture is aptly named. The back of the blade shape is kind of similar to a vulture's head.

They look great. I'm partial to the smaller knives and simple styling so I like the bottom 4 the most. Wish I could get to Blade.

Nice. Any specs of the build would be appreciated.

Very nice Calvin. I'm partial to yellow as a scale colour. Also, thank you for including all the specs as well as I always find that information very interesting. (noob question: Is it the case that using washers instead of relieving the liner is somehow considered a 'lesser' form of knife...

Thank you for the excellent WIP. Are there any obvious symptoms, indications, considerations etc. that would cause you to pass on a particular older machine. In short, any advice for the prospective used drill press buyer? Thanks again. Very helpful. GWF

That's an ingenious set up Exitium. Your idea for the disk grinding and buffing arm attachments is really great. Can you record main measurements/specs etc. for drilling/lay out of the machine for others? I'm working on mine now and would love to copy your machine. Hope you'll post more pics as...

Why wouldn't they sell to Canada? That's ridiculous. It's no different than shipping to anywhere USA. The customer pays for the shipping so I don't understand the problem...

Is the "Rise/Fall Indicator" a recent development in making slip joints? I'll have to have a search and see if I can turn up a youtube vid or webpage on how it's used as I know nothing about them. (noob) ps. what's a "magbase"?

Yes, well I have been reading up on files and file work and while I guess it can be done I'm fishing to see if other's have experience with making small knives using files and sand paper or has everyone gone straight to a grinder right out of the gates. I'm wondering if a $1200-$2000 grinder is...

beautiful....

This question interests me as my main interest is in very small knives ie: 2-3 inch blades (small slipjonts and folders) and very narrow stilettos ie: about an inch wide (and as these blade faces are often dagger types with each side showing two faces measuring approx. 1/3 inch each we're...
