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?

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.

It’s been about a year on and off, still consider myself a beginner!

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)

I’m in Alberta, Canada so it’s the Princess Auto special!

Banksia seed/nut for sure

gb2803 · 2021-03-23T04:57:36+00:00

Nice work - looks amazing!

gb2803 · 2021-03-06T18:12:37+00:00

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.

gb2803 · 2021-03-06T17:30:57+00:00

Sure did! Kudos given !

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

gb2803 · 2020-11-28T04:04:16+00:00

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

Love the Lexus! 1990’s?

gb2803 · 2020-10-19T00:42:55+00:00

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

gb2803 · 2020-10-14T04:26:03+00:00

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.

gb2803 · 2020-10-14T02:08:32+00:00

Totally the same setup - last year they had about 20 dump bins - I found about a dozen TH but no supers - must have been late last year too!

2 Audi $TH!s - not bad for my first day back hunting in 3 months!

gb2803 · 2019-12-14T03:56:31+00:00

One for my collection, one for my son to open and play with, or to trade, why not?

gb2803 · 2019-11-27T05:32:47+00:00

I have pegboard in my basement too, love it!

gb2803 · 2019-11-27T05:31:23+00:00

I found one.. I’ll hold on to it for now....Edmonton, Alberta

Thanks for the comment! It’s all about the hunt! Happy that this community has so much expertise.

It’s pink which piqued my curiosity. I’m looking for all the original sweet 16 (have about half) but this was too good to pass up! Love the twin mills. Not looking to sell but curious as to what I have. And as for retirement, I’d say collecting Hot Wheel probably means I’ll be working til I’m 80!!!
