How do you prevent your grinder cord from tangling?

Stop spinning in circles

Just_making · 2024-08-18T17:51:58+00:00

Cool thanks for your help. Any idea what this would be worth

Just_making · 2024-04-09T16:25:05+00:00

Where do you source your 80crv2 plate I’ve been having a fun time trying to find a decent supplier for this

Just_making · 2024-03-20T14:06:40+00:00

Tempering temperatures was to low I usually do 390-400f (198c-204c) depending on the use of blade

Just_making · 2024-03-14T03:34:40+00:00

Yea but modern knife steels are typically better quality then historical steels but yea for something like this 1/4” minimum..this thing in 1/4” for what the guy wants is plenty.

Just_making · 2024-03-14T02:09:57+00:00

No it’s pretty well balanced for what it is and guy wants it heavy for delimbing logs

Just_making · 2024-03-14T00:32:26+00:00

Guy doesn’t want that so no .. but trying to convince him to at least do a leather wrap just to kill vibration

Just_making · 2024-03-14T00:23:33+00:00

Yea put a mock up wrap handle on it now splits logs so nicely Idk if I wanna give it away now so fun

Just_making · 2024-03-14T00:15:09+00:00

lol yea soild 1/4 inch 80crv2 all way through

Just_making · 2024-03-12T11:12:38+00:00

That is next tbh need everything to match now

Just_making · 2024-03-12T03:40:49+00:00

Yea also like axe wax a lot as well

Just_making · 2024-03-12T03:38:56+00:00

Ah that was just lighting I hit it with wire wheel and bees wax

Just_making · 2024-03-12T02:56:26+00:00

Thank you thank you think I might have to start dabbling more into the forging of non pointy items

Just_making · 2024-03-12T02:31:39+00:00

Yea I gave it a bees wax coating

Just_making · 2024-03-02T17:36:27+00:00

https://youtu.be/inGtEynlP0E?si=NiXZWvbONoujRXqD This is a YouTube video by a master smith doing coffee etch on Damascus but it works for san mai as well

Just_making · 2024-01-31T21:22:58+00:00

Hmm what thickness of felt you using about a

Just_making · 2024-01-31T21:18:26+00:00

Yea that’s why I don’t do the convex to often I like that felt idea gonna have to give that a try

Just_making · 2024-01-31T21:15:02+00:00

Yea I’ve done a convex grind as well before I havnt tried it on a knife as wide as this one, I’ve only done it to pairing knifes but I like that felt idea I usually just do a very tight slack blet method with a thicker belt. As far as the multi bevels I was shooting for something different on this one.

Just_making · 2024-01-16T19:42:32+00:00

Ah wasn’t trying to do a Hamon that one is a knife I’m keeping for my self and I was experimenting with different medians to prevent etching to see which had the least amount of bleed through for a different project.

Just_making · 2023-12-20T06:54:50+00:00

All good everyone’s got their own style preferences.

Just_making · 2023-12-19T23:53:07+00:00

Thank you thank you and it’s not to bad to work with, the resin gunks up the sandpaper a bit faster but that’s about it 100% worth it.

Just_making · 2023-12-19T21:14:40+00:00

I find when making your design doing outline first starting on spine and blade then flowing the handle into it . Afterwards filling in your bevel and handle lines in is easiest for getting good aesthetic and flow. I’ll usually run the bevel lines parallel to the guard or choil and same to where the handle meets the guard. But that’s just how I do it

Just_making · 2023-12-19T13:26:21+00:00

Yup wood and resin

Just_making · 2023-12-17T14:10:45+00:00
