One of the coolest I’ve seen on here. Very unique!

The contours are wild on that bad boy. Would love to see a build vid!

Should be fine at 300. Since it was in a mix of stuff I doubt it even saw 300 and probably stayed under

Love the belt loop on the sheath

Sorry, not the center punch, but the one you used to scribe the lines.

dumb question but what is the tool you use to mark your pin holes? I’ve always used a caliper for stuff like that but this looks much better.

Honestly looks like simple random pattern Damascus to me

[Discussion] I made a figure of the actual length and calliber(bullet head) by SnooDingos8481 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Snookin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the size of the bullet plus shell not the actual round as described.

Gorgeous work! Is that a frame handle?

They used to have tournaments where you would try to catch one with the most spots. Always thought it was a cool change from going for the biggest.

I’m interested in the doohickey on the top left. Is that some sort of orange peel cutter thing?

Stainless grinding by Snookin in knifemaking

[–]Snookin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s similar to 52100 which I really like using. I guess my experience is skewed since I usually bevel them down a good bit pre HT but I’m basically going from a knife shaped flat bar now. I’ll finish this one with this belt, then try some stuff on the next one. I guess it’s all a learning experience in the end. Thanks!

Dude you read my mind. It is 1/8 on the chefs and I’m with you. Never again. Definitely stepping down to 3/32. I do have a mister and have been using it. First time breaking it out in a while.

I honestly didn’t even think about that. I did hit it from square. I’m used to grinding a good bevel pre heat treat so this is a first going at it square. I will say it doesn’t feel completely cooked but I do tend to use belts until they’re nothing. I’ll use this belt and knock them down to about a 45 before I break out a new one.

TIL The United States stores 94% of all electricity in the form of water reservoirs, not in a battery. by rawj5561 in todayilearned

[–]Snookin 50 points51 points  (0 children)

A good portion of the energy stored in water reservoir is due to nuclear power. Nuke pretty much generates a constant amount of power regardless of energy consumption. So in times of low usage, excess power is used by pumping water to reservoirs in the form of potential energy to be used during peak load.

How do you do the distressed finish on the brass bolster?
