Hey guys,
I've been on this site for about a year and have been trying to learn to build knives for a little longer than that. About a week ago, on this site in my thread about Hamons John Doyle mentioned to me to put a piece if heat resistant glass over the steel platen on my grinder. Well, I did and I am amazed at how much difference it makes in my grinding. It is unbelievable the difference it makes.
But I am even more amazed that I have been interacting here for a year and have never heard about this before. How many of you guys use glass platens? Does everybody know about this or is it so commonplace that t just never comes up? Boss Dog, you should send a glass platen and a tube of JB Weld to every new member - you couldn't handle all the business. I'm going to post on every introduction a message to get a glass platen :5:. Just kidding but if you don't use one you don't know what you're missing. Thanks, John, for all your help and for this tip.
