Ha ha! Nooo way! Too close to the edge for my non existent blacksmithing skills!

Had a sheath that needed a knife and a “kit” blade sitting around, so did that while it’s warm enough to work in the garage this week.

In the last little while I have been working on a batch of framelocks and I finished one slipjoint. Let me know what you think.

I also wrecked a few things along the way...

Wow man, thats looks great.

 

[Randy Lucius]

Messing around with this. My biggest blade so far. 10.75 inches. I know that’s not huge but it feels like a machete to me.

Forge welding never gets old! I’m always amazed when it comes out a solid piece.

Randy, first off that's a beautiful design. The lines are just gorgeous. But what are those scales?! Love them.

tkroenlein where did you get the AC speed control, is it 110 and 220 volt ? what is the HP. rating ? how much money ? is it single PH. Thank you Deane

 

[tkroenlein]

That's a KBAC 27D. (Model #9520) It's a phase converter and VFD. It's good for up to 2HP on 220V, but de-rated to 1.5HP if set up on 110V. They are $357 no matter where you look. I think KB electronics must have minimum pricing.

I have the exact same one. I about choked when I bought it, but it's been worth every penny

 

[tkroenlein]

I've been planning this upgrade since I built the grinder almost two years ago. I'm also getting excited about the second grinder I'm planning for the old motor. It'll be a low sfpm set up for scalloped belts and small contact wheels.

Same VFD that came with my Beaumont KMG-TX I really like it. Anyone know how to put in the reverse switch?
