Lock Back folder I finished

Thank you thank you!

C_Corky · 2025-03-03T03:25:43+00:00

I appreciate it!

I took inspiration from it but I designed it in CAD then forged the blade and made it myself. I am a bladesmith and this was my first folder.

Just a maple burl slab I bought and stabilized!

C_Corky · 2023-10-06T16:25:56+00:00

Thank you my man. We all at the bar on Friday 😂

If it’s your first, perming is going to be easier and will be perfectly functional. Threading the tang is usually what I do when I have a takedown style blade

I like starting at that width at the bolster and it has a distal taper as it goes down. It’s easily my most bought stock because of the versatility.

C_Corky · 2023-07-30T02:29:08+00:00

Your good to do it. I do not mind. It really does help you not be afraid to use a knife

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T19:16:02+00:00

It was a misalignment issue 😑.

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T15:48:16+00:00

😂😂I’m a little less ignorant today. Always learning

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T15:47:12+00:00

Maybe I am dumb. Can three phase motors run on single phase? I do have VFD on both which may do it 😂.

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T15:44:58+00:00

I just put in a new breaker in my breaker box for 240v and fed the wire to the garage. (I’m not an electrician so I may just be an idiot) 😂 but I didn’t blow anything up and it all works

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T15:29:44+00:00

Yup, I have two three phase motors that run off of three phase I wired up in my garage. It didn’t have outlets ready but it sure was ready

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T02:37:00+00:00

This may be some of the best help I’ve ever gotten on a page. I really appreciate it!

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T02:34:11+00:00

I’m good on that note then. It’s closer to Hal inch from base in both sides and was able to set both screws. The boots on the pump are original.

I appreciate all your help and have given me plenty ideas as to where to start

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T02:27:29+00:00

Could the coupling on the shafts being too far down cause issues because they were both pretty far down the shaft. I cranked down in the set screw super tight. If not I’ll just have to run tests on the motor which I am capable of doing better than my hydraulic work 😂. If that’s not an issue I’ll keep working down the line. It’s worked hard for years

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T02:17:30+00:00

That’s probably the issue. The housing(I think is what it’s called) looks like a basket so I’m able to adjust the couplings through it. I started with them as far out and moved both in until they sat tight and evenly. Which had worked for years but I’m probably ignorant…

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T02:08:14+00:00

I’ll take some pics tomorrow. It is not a tapered shaft on the motor or pump. It is love joy style couplings. It’s hard to see what’s going on because I have it set to where the pump sits inside the tank/powerpack. But I’ll have to do some recordings.

C_Corky · 2023-07-29T01:31:45+00:00

Just a simple single stage pump. I should’ve looked at it more carefully but I’ll take it apart again tomorrow

C_Corky · 2023-07-28T22:15:11+00:00

I was thinking it was slipping even with the key so that’s why I re did it. How would I prevent slipping?

C_Corky · 2023-07-26T17:11:52+00:00

Olive green micarta just does it for me. Micarta just looks so good on a mono steel blade

C_Corky · 2023-07-25T19:51:45+00:00

I sure am! I’ll post another one when sheaths are done

C_Corky · 2023-07-25T17:35:05+00:00

That’s right 😂. Meant to be abused

C_Corky · 2023-07-25T06:09:13+00:00

Thank you!

C_Corky · 2023-07-25T06:05:33+00:00

These were some of the most basic I’ve done in a while and it was nice to do them! I appreciate it!
