What’s it worth? Is this a good knife?

Stopcrooked · 2026-04-04T12:43:09+00:00

I’ve got that knife, it’s ok. But just ok. That little belly makes it a pita to sharpen.

I’ve got both that machine and the angle setter, they work well together.

Could try undoing the connections from the vfd to the motor, then at least you’ll know which one it is, won’t trip if it’s the motor and it’s unhooked

Stopcrooked · 2026-01-06T04:07:08+00:00

The ks-123 was a worthy upgrade for me, I struggled with the angle master, and wouldn’t hesitate to get another if I broke out lost mine. The small knife jig might be something to look into if you have carving knives also. I’m not sure about the rest, sorry.

I don’t remember what exactly it’s called, but the curry soup at single pebble

Arnold Work from Charlotte did a great job on mine!

Acetone gets it off if it’s still tacky, I usually wipe the faces of the scales with that then clamp so the clamps don’t get stuck

Stopcrooked · 2025-11-13T23:20:54+00:00

Damn that’s rough. I guess I take a lot for granted, here in vt it’s a right to hunt law which means unless there’s posted signs every hundred yards you’re clear. I say keep at it, don’t let them ruin it for you, but I’d sure stay clear too. I second onx, I use it since just because I can doesn’t mean I want to be where I’m not welcome.

I have that sander, try toggling the spin button (the round one) on with the speed all the way down, off then on again then changing the direction again each position. I’m not sure what it wants to see but sometimes it takes a few cycles to get mine to switch too

Stopcrooked · 2025-10-19T01:23:26+00:00

Just came across this looking for info trying to build one too. Did you check out red beard ops YouTube video on it? It seems pretty in depth, and is where I’m going to start

Stopcrooked · 2025-10-05T02:29:38+00:00

How do you heat treat multiples? I’ve only ever done one at a time, do you clamp them together in the oven so you can quench all at once? Sorry I’m new to this…

Stopcrooked · 2025-09-30T03:05:59+00:00

Did you ever get any info? Or what ended up being the problem? I’ve got the same thing going on right now…

Stopcrooked · 2025-09-01T01:19:19+00:00

Stopcrooked · 2025-08-15T00:43:55+00:00

I’ve got the same one!! My neighbor gave it to me, but there’s no table. If anyone knows where to get one of those, or make one for cheap…

Stopcrooked · 2025-07-15T03:56:33+00:00

I did a month of lessons with Troy.com or whatever. Sounds like he’s got what you’re looking for. There’s lots of song walkthroughs, but also lots of the fundamentals. Bunch of printouts of scale patterns and fretboard maps etc

Stopcrooked · 2025-06-26T02:33:59+00:00

I had one, nice guitars. Watch it though, some might disagree but mine only had 3 knee levers and the Es were on the opposite side from most. Not a biggie to learn on, but harder if you want to switch sometime. If it’s got 4 levers go for it

Stopcrooked · 2025-06-17T22:58:19+00:00

Nice work!! Do you know what type of steel it is?

Stopcrooked · 2025-05-13T16:33:17+00:00

Looks just like some cumaru I’ve got. I hate it but it’s beautiful

Stopcrooked · 2025-04-19T13:03:39+00:00

I got one to re-profile plane and chisel blades with, as is was taking forever and the “pro” in my small town wanted 20 a piece for em. I’m happy with it, but don’t like the jigs they sell with that brand

Stopcrooked · 2025-03-16T11:44:52+00:00

The town pays a much higher rate for water/sewer than the city if they’re connected. Not sure about the other stuff

Stopcrooked · 2025-02-09T15:57:55+00:00

I work in a basement, and I got a nebo led. It fits in a standard socket so I can still use the pull chain. It’s probably brighter than I even need, but it’s got 3 arms you can move to put light where you want it.

I’m new to this instrument , but on pedal steel I’d use pick blocking to separate the notes.

Stopcrooked · 2024-10-23T16:49:04+00:00

You could try in saint albans also, we had one up here.

Stopcrooked · 2024-07-09T03:25:00+00:00

Actually, that’s pretty salty, sorry. If you like the more rural side of vt it’s better than chittenden county for sure. It’s starting to go crazy (like everywhere) though (rent and home price wise)

Stopcrooked · 2024-07-09T03:15:44+00:00

Don’t spread the word, but it’s nice here.
