buffer casualty pics

Someone ( I believe Dennis) suggested maybe I should post pics of this disaster. Well here they are before I completely redo this baby.

This view is the finished product from the good side. Simulated Ivory scales, very thin black spacer between stainless bolster and scales, stainless pins in bolster and scales.



Looookking Goood until......




pics are typical of my photo work, slightly blurry, but you get the picture

Ouch! That IS painful...

Too bad Bob, your knife was looking good up until it got that nasty little boo-boo.

I can imagine the look on your face when you discovered the damage...after all that work, to have that happen at the last possible moment...sigh...The good news of course is that you didn't get hurt and as you say, you weren't that crazy about those scales anyway...

Whew, that is a heck of a chunk taken out of there! That had to have been thrown with some serious force...

very sobering image...

Good luck getting those scales off. Now just be careful with all that heat...

Dennis

Yeah Baby!

buffing wheels

Quote:
and the loose buff wheel grabbed the knife from my hand and slammed it on the floor
These are the most dangerous of all(as far as I am concerned). Try the stitched muslin wheels,they will still grap a knife/blade and throw it back at you but ...........

yup sewn wheels lesson the kick back ,but still happens,the unsewn ones allow the point of the blade to get caught in the layers of the buff,very dangerous,especially when sharp.I feel your pain with the chip,I recently finished a black lip MOP scaled knife and during the peening of the last pin,blammo,nasty hairline crack from the pin to the butt.Oh well such is life.Wipe the tears,grit your teeth and start again,and you learned well.

I wouldn't worry too much about a possible vasectomy by a blade thrown by a buffer,because there are two semen-tubes to be cut, but the possible other damage to your crown-jewels would be worse: castration or a severed scepter!. I had my vasectomy after my third kid and sex was never better as we don't have to worry about anticonceptiva any more.( Most wives like it too and you don't become less man)

Before... before we got hooked on knives?



A decent apron is safe in the workshop.

I started this thread, but how in the heck did it get here?

I just got a denim apron, but not for this reason. Keeps clothes cleaner and I often jump in to do a little cutting, grinding, drilling and then have to run out to do something else. It helps to stay clean, get it, ...........CLEAN (not like this thread has become)
