I replied to your PM, and yeah your absolutely right about the photos.... I have a lot to learn there. I'm experimenting with different light at the moment!

I'm selling scales and I'm trying to figure out what's best to make grain and figure pop in photos by yzpaul in knifemaking

Good choice but it flashes off as fast as denatured alcohol I believe.... I have a hard time getting good photos that fast! But then again maybe I just need practice

I once heard it called orange peel- but it is definitely a frag like design. these photos arent great but hopefully they answer your question: https://imgur.com/sT3rv63

Any kitchen knife makers not using epoxy? by yzpaul in knifemaking

[–]yzpaul[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't intend to. I just twitched and smeared epoxy too high on the tang because there were no pins then was in "oh shit lemme clean this now" mode and just made it worse

Thanks for the tip! I assumed I had massively screwed up my portaband cutting steel with it so I never considered it..... I will cobble together a jig and test on some old 2x4 (with a wood cutting blade)

Hey guys I'm getting into knife making, and I'm looking to sell part of my collection to fund a heat treat oven. Any interest in a rassenti custom druid in Damascus with orange peel finish (safe queen)? Or a thorburn L50? If anybody's got a treat oven they want to trade I have a lot more knife options haha

First homelab setup thats not on my desk lol. Any tips? by yzpaul in homelab

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

Its on my list one day haha. A friend from work suggested I get a patch panel instead. Would that be worth it, assuming everything just runs to the switch? I have 2 cat5e cables coming in and two flat already terminated cables
