Greetings friends. Been quite awhile since I’ve been around. Couple of you may remember me. I left all public forums & was not planning to return. But some words from a good friend, and I’ve been swayed to check in.
I actually went through a spell and didn’t touch a single blade. Unfortunately, my health leaves me little time afforded to work on my hobby projects. As I am also a Gunsmith/builder, the last year has been mostly given over to that genre. I also did some machining of small parts..Titanium & Tungsten Carbide. (Evil stuff to work on!) And I did some tool mods as well. Then I worked on a blade for a member & friend here. He asked me sometime ago if I could make a new handle for & sharpen a butchers knife he received in the 70’s. Doing that little bit lit a fire under my seat!
(Oh yeah.... the first of the “DIY” surface grinder attachments is still working fantastically!)
I added a 2nd tooling arm port to my grinder, and made a new platen assembly with a Granite platen surface.
I have a small batch of blades I need to get to Peters. (Everyone else get the notice they are moving...again?) These are all CPM3V.
And finally I have started on my frame lock folder design. Although I need to redo it, as I was using Draftsight 2018 CAD program. It ended in December(without my knowledge), and I lost my design. I only had this one printout.
