Still here and kicking!
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here. Haven't posted much in the last few days because of being busy in the shop. Have worked up a few new folder designs, and made a bunch of mosaic. As soon as I get some of it into blade form I post some pics. Heading for the shop now......will check the forums this evening! |

Re: re
Well, the fever is in full swing! Today I cut out 7 sets of liners. 4 of Ti. and 3 of 15n20. I'm really beginning to dislike Ti. It is such a pain the butt to work with, dulls everything it touches, and eats betls like crazy! I think I'll finish the ones I have made up, and then stick with 15n20 for liners..........to heck with the "light" thing. I made the mistake of showing the Mrs. what I was up to, and now the law has been laid down! She WILL have a mosaic and white pearl folder before I sell any.....she never did say "Or else!" But then again, I'm not sure I wanna find out what that might be! I think the thing that is turning my crank about these folders is that each one is a little different than the last, with it's own set of problems to solve.....sorta like starting knifemaking all over for me.......yep, I'm hooked! (AGAIN) |

Ron, I'm getting my powder from Swain Spring service here in Great Falls. Several years ago I gave a class to the owner, and ever since he has been into the knife thing. He carries a whole list of stuff, and usually it's one stop shopping for me. They are also the outfit that makes what I believe is the best forging press out there right now. |
