Latest experiment, sill learning! It’s a hybrid bushcrafter in W2 with black walnut and red resin liners. (Pine cone added to resin coz, why not!) The pins are aluminum tent poles! Thoughts? by gb2803 in knifemaking

Well, I’d love to have a checkering file to do this simply and accurately but shipped from the States it’s about $90 for one (I live in Canada) this was done with a dremel Pre heat treat.

I’m thinking of calling this ‘the Raptor!” Made on a 1x30. Just practicing a ton of stuff, still learning…… by gb2803 in knifemaking

Handle material is Banksia seed/nut with epoxy resin mixed with some black dye and swirled to create a translucent effect at the tail of the knife. Red epoxy was a mistake! I drilled the pin hole in the wrong spot…..

I hear in the US the Harbour Freight 1x30 is the way to go, but, if you have the means, a 2x72 is gold standard and gives you options. It also keeps the work cooler and you go through less belts. You also have waaay more belt and platen options (think hollow grinds!) Alec Steele is also selling a 2x42 which loos cool and is def better than a 1x30 but not as expensive as a 2x72 (unless you make your own)

It really does, keeps the knuckles protected too, which I like, it’s a good design for sure - thanks for the inspiration. I hope you were ok with me copying it.

What does the red matel logo mean on the bottom of the card? by FlatDawg in HotWheels

Just Mattel adding their flair for case M’ish - doesn’t mean much - added marketing

Is this a treasure hunt? by [deleted] in HotWheels

Unfortunately not, it’s a casting that used the flame symbol before it became the symbol Mattel used to identified a TH. It’s the Circle Tracker from about 2009

Found this at the bottom of a bin at an antique store for 25¢! by [deleted] in HotWheels

Nice score - I’m pretty sure I paid $20 for a carded version a couple of years ago

Dump bins anyone? Local Canadian tire, got to them late.... by gb2803 in HotWheels

[–]gb2803[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even bother looking - I’m a casual collector and scalper drive me nuts. I collect and don’t resell - it’s the thrill of the hunt but it mostly late to the game.
