Sorry you guy's cant make it. Yes I should have put this here sooner. Will for the spring.

Having another Hammer Inn and all invited. It is at my house and I have a nice big shop and overhang where my power hammer, forge and press are and they will all be running. We like newbies, pros, collectors and just folks who enjoy knives. It is a Saturday and Sunday event and we will have...

Thanks Setlab. Will check it out.

I have this power hammer and can find no info on the internet. This monster weighs in at 3,800 lbs. The problem is I need to hook up a 5 hp motor to it that is 1725 rpm and I dont know the size of pulley for the motor to get whatever rpm this should call for. Also should I build a cage to cover...

I have a wood burning stove with a fan heat exchanger on the flu. It works great and I cut firewood in the fall and use it the following year. Flu exchangers can be bought for about 200.00 at tractor supply (sure others sell one) I made mine from an old gas fired heater. Pot belly stove at...

Well its time for pounding some steel and exchanging tips and stories. Will be a 2 day event that starts at 10:00 sat. morning or earlier. Will be serving Brisket and trimmings. We will be firing up the forge and using a power hammer, press and manual hammer. Topic of discussions will be...

Great knife and I really like the deck of cards.

Mark was kind enough to save this type of cut for me and it is the best I have ever had. I have had it for months and kept thinking I have to do a knife that is worthy of this ivory. I hope I did. The Damascus is made form 1095 and 15n20 with all fittings Damascus except ring in ferrule that is...

Great knife and stunning Damascus!

Thanks folks. Enjoyed making this one. It was a lot of fun, so much so I am making another.

I have not posted here so I thought someone might like this. Not often I get to do one for the fun of it, but this was one. It has my Damascus of 1095, 1080, 15n20 a smidgen of nickel. All fittings are Damascus and the handle is African Blackwood with pre-ban elephant ivory inlaid. The blade...

Thanks Bruce. My dies are just a little worn and maybe that is all it takes. Will resurface them and see how that works.

No it is not binding and I think something may be out of square too. Like to hear from someone who has one. Thanks.

I have one of his presses and when making Damascus it makes the billet smear the steel sideways. In other words if you had a deck of cards on a table and you pushed one edge it would make the cards still stacked but would no longer be a rectangle. I hope this is making sense. The billet ends up...

Thanks folks. Wish I had a 100 more cuts of stag like this.

Been lurking around here for a while without posting so I thought I would show one. Here is one I just completed. It has a 10 1/2 inch blade and is 15 3/4 inches overall. Best cut of stag I have had in a Long time (maybe ever). Guard is Damascus as is all the fittings (1080 and 15n20). Hope you...

Yea I think it is about a 4 hr. drive. Maybe we can find you a place to stay.

Any one from Knifedogs coming?

Here is one I just completed. Dont know if it is a mini sword or dagger? All my Damascus fittings with pre-ban elephant ivory.
