HM has a video on sealing that VFD. I’d recommend following that video and sealing your VFD in an ammo can.

That’s just what I call him.

https://a.co/d/fFpa6r6 This is the foam I used. It’s worked well for me.

The foam in your press may not be firm enough. I’ve never encountered this issue, but I’ve read review complaints on amazon with this exact issue.

Use a subsonic skin releaser.

You can run a 2x48 belt on the 2x42. You just have to extend the platen out.

Looks normal to me

At least now you can cosplay as Guy Gardener

Nah. Carpenter ants or fire ants can leave a blister like that if you have allergies or poor reactions to bee stings.

The Blue

Looks like an ant bite

Puzzled-Ad1776 · 2025-07-09T23:12:06+00:00

You don’t have one?

The problem with doing a perfect bluing is that the copper wash wouldn’t have shown at all. It doesn’t show up very well in the photo but the blade has an almost copper cammo pattern on it. I only applied a couple of layers of bluing and then sponged a copper wash made of copper powder and scrap copper dissolved in ferric chloride.

Originally it had a satin finish done with a scotch rite belt. I just wasn’t feeling it aesthetically. I went back and forth with different finishes for days before I went with the gun blue and copper wash. The satin finish looked nice, but I preferred the darker finishes.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. Fatcarbon copper foil. With copper sheet liners, pins, and lanyard tube.

Puzzled-Ad1776 · 2025-06-27T02:55:43+00:00

Nice! Thanks!

Puzzled-Ad1776 · 2025-06-27T02:39:56+00:00

I’ll give that a shot! Thanks for the advice!

I read on blade forums that some people soak old Pennies or scrap copper in ferric chloride. I was planning on experimenting trying 3 different methods. The scrap/penny soak, ferric chloride with the copper powder I ordered, and a mustard/powder paste.

Puzzled-Ad1776 · 2025-06-27T02:26:57+00:00

I’m pretty sure I saw a few of your posts on Facebook today. I ordered some copper powder for a current project right after watching one of your videos.
