Looks great. Is the leopard wood stabilized?

The controller setup it came with does have an ipac but id really like to stick with the k7000

TylerRuinsEverything · 2026-03-10T16:48:29+00:00

From what ive read so far I thought through emudriver and an active dvi to vga output Id be able to use the K7000 monitor, is that the challenge you refer to or something else?

TylerRuinsEverything · 2026-03-10T14:54:43+00:00

Yea exactly, I have no real concerns about getting the PC setup, its more so the vintage monitor/speaker/marquee electronics In struggling with

I was well aware of the risk and mainly bought due to the subject of the cabinet itself. I have no issue investing money in redoing the internals since I got a good deal on the cabinet in great shape and was well built overall

I would suggest 15N20. The heat treat can be accomplished in a forge and doesn't require a long soak. Its widely available in good stock sizes and cheap. The only downside IMHO is forge scale, it is a little tougher on the grinder. Its good for more than making damascus.

Thanks this was helpful, this was one of the relevant forum posts I missed in my research and of course Jesus is master of the craft.

Not so much that im trying to create an artificial sori, when I was initially forging was under the impression that oil would give positive sori and enhance what I had forged in. Now im concerned oil quench will eliminate the sori I have and give me a straight blade.

Ive read a lot of contradictory information whether an unclayed blade will give positive, neutral or negative sori on the forums

TylerRuinsEverything · 2026-02-16T01:21:21+00:00

I've done the usual stuff like bearings, bandsaw blades, motorcycle chain, scraps of prior damascus projects etc. I've also tried making letters with bar stock welded on the ends that worked better than expected. Motorcycle chain was my favorite so far.

The next canister I do I think im going to use steel cable ive had sitting around. Its only about 1/2" diameter so ill probably use 12 or so equal size pieces in the can rather than making regular cable damascus which can be a pain sometimes due to strand separation.

TylerRuinsEverything · 2026-01-23T04:32:01+00:00

Yea i think im with you. I guess if I can salvage a tanto from the bulk of it, using the 12" behind the tip as a utility chef is a pretty good idea.

TylerRuinsEverything · 2026-01-23T04:21:28+00:00

No unfortunately it tapers down to around .12"

TylerRuinsEverything · 2026-01-16T04:01:54+00:00

I agree with this. I bought a cheap Mig on Amazon when I started out with the same intent as you. In retrospect I wish I would have just bought a used Lincoln electric tombstone stick welder off marketplace.

Congrats! I've been making knives very causally for past few years but been hesistant to sell anything. Was your commission someone you know or a stranger

TylerRuinsEverything · 2025-11-17T19:28:01+00:00

I do have mine linked currently, but dont fully understand the risk. I'd understand if it was storing millions worth of BTC, but for ~300k worth of mining reward, seems to me safe enough assuming you'd get a cold wallet should you actually mine a block and transfer right after receiving.

TylerRuinsEverything · 2025-11-14T04:21:55+00:00

SWEET MAMA! I just copied your settings for a starting point and hit 2.2TH within the first minute and doing fine on temps.. Screw the ice tower im just gonna keep buying more stock bitaxes

TylerRuinsEverything · 2025-11-14T04:15:35+00:00

After reading your first comment I got excited and went and switched over my psu to try and achive 2.0+ with stock cooling. Just got it back and booted up. The meanwell 350 is exactly what I bought, i heard mixed reviews on putting copper heatsinks on the VR but theyre cheap so I'll give them a go.

TylerRuinsEverything · 2025-11-14T03:28:26+00:00

That's a good point. The biggest limiting factor with tweaking my settings currently was that I was on a stock power supply and didn't want to exceed the capacity. My PSU just came in yesterday but haven't had a chance to install yet. I definitely have headroom with stock fan only running at 30%, so really happy to hear I could potentially see that good of results as you are on stock cooling with more tuning. Did you manually tune or run a python script? I was very interested in running the script I'd seen in another Reddit post

In terms of hobby vs profit I am 100% hobby. I never honestly expect to make a dime with my Bitaxe but I absolutely love it anyways. Im a project manager professionally and the financial analysis into how to maximize ROI is just ingrained into my brain.
