New Belts
Like Ray_Rogers said, who woulda thunk fresh belts would make such a difference LOL!
I was busy in the shop today. The top two(First pic) are a set made from old files. The bottom one(First pic) is fro a friend that asked me to make it. The second pic is a set from 1084. This is getting addictive and expensive. Between the knife making, the leather working(Cause what good is knife without a sheath?) and the photography. My wife asked, "Why are your hobbies always so expensive?"

LOL, you've never hot rodded, fished, or hunted have you. A fishing trip for me was an automatic $60 ectomy . I can make a lot of knives for that.
You'll find in time that this hobby will at least be self supporting.

My wife asked me the same thing. From metal detecting ($1200 detector), hunting (won't even guess the amount I have in that with the safe full of guns), to making knives and all the tools that are needed. I need a sugar Mama!

Great looking blades! My girlfriend always asks me the same. Usually when I make my almost daily trip to the hardware store.

The third one down is my favorite. If you ever wanna part with that one... Get into custom rifles if you want expensive. That stuff adds up quick! A barrel on one of my rifles was about $360... That's not even talking about triggers, lugs, bedding, and all of the other goodies. She sure shoots though! Nice work! But seriously, if #3 doesn't have a home, let me know.
