And then PRACTICE PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE..., I say that kinda tongue in cheek, but there is nothing no amount of instruction, no special gadget , that can or will ever replace PRACTICE! just remember to tuck your elbows and move only your body while the blade is in contact with the...

Tom, Thanks! I stumbled upon his video on YouTube, it was amazing! I only hope he has an answer for using this surface grinder attachment vertically, there is no way I could swing buying his TW90, though it looks like an awesome grinder, it is cost prohibitive , that is why I would really love...

Ok, I guess I'm the only one that noticed, THAT SPANKY SHARP ANSWER to having a super SICK surface grinder, can can you please give me the guys contact info for it. THANKS, REX

Hey George! From the video, it looked like the main bridge going toward the back was still intact, I think they were talking more about the "walking bridges", a buddy of mine does reenactments up there, he said the walking bridges were what they used the most. If you Google Tannie Hill flooding...

Afternoon Dawgs, I wanted to touch base with anyone that has heard if The Batsons Blaxesmithing Symposium is still on for this weekend, they had some massive FLOODING there at Tanne Hilk State Park, last Monday, several bridges were washed away, campground 1 was destroyed. They said that...

Hey Ken...yes, I'm alive..., sorta, only half dead feeling, that's all! I just wanted to thank you for putting this on here, I just thought how funny it was that I introduced you to 12C27 and now you just introduced me to 14C28! From the HT info there, it looks to me that it will be better...

HT'ing info for CruForgeV When Crucible wanted to make a "high tech" forging steel, they got with several knife makers and asked them their opinions\advice in what was needed to make this steel the best forging steel on the market. From what I've read, I still haven't gotten the big hunk I...

I must agree with the consensus these are friggin' awesome!!! And I have the say the 1st one, really is exquisite, the furniture on that one is incredible! Rex

Bama, (feels weird calling someone else that, as that was my nickname the entire time I was in the Marines)...., any way... It was quite a bit of a coinky dink that you just ordered one , as I am planning one the exact same one, and just got done looking at it right before I came here! Did...

Owen, The only thing certain about getting a hamon is, that you certainly may get one and you certainly may not! There are several factors that are in your control, 1.) Know your STEEL! Low manganese steels are the best, fact is you will not get much of any kind of activity with any steel that...

Owen, Your Blade looks great, but in the future, if you will stick to the "1/3rd RULE", You will see that MOST of your hamons will come out around the middle of the blade...maybe! (the 1/3rd rules refers to coating the top 1/3rd of the blade in Satanite, most Makers will do their own thing from...

Laurence, That sounds like great advice, although I've never really cared so much about what others thought of me, when it comes to my knives, somehow its different. I guess its because I put my heart and soul - and literally my BLOOD , SWEAT and at times tears in every...

See guys that is the very thing I'm referring to, I do not have to worry about making something that will sell, to pay a bill. I am in a very unique and albeit WONDERFUL position. Primarily, because my wife allows it, heck she encourages me to make my Hearts Desire, y'all see why now I brag on...

Mark, When I saw the title, it spoke to me, but it said something entirley different, to me that said," Embrace YOUR work and allow it to be seen", pesonally I haven't posted a lot of pics of my work, a few that turned out stellar in my mind, but I have made many since then, some even...

YEAH!!!! Me too! Rex

Hey Ken! Good to hear from you! You probably know better than most folks what all I've been going through, except I got worse, a lot worse! My ventures into the shop are sporadic at best which beats the devil out of not going for at least 5 months straight! I have been around the group its just...

Darin, I have a big bar of this stuff, I started banging it out back invthe summer, had made the decision to just make sure I worked on it whenever I fired up the forge, well of course that aint what happened! As things usually work for me I forgot about it and just rediscovered it a couple...

ERRR.....Just for the record, Mr. Dark comes from a 'DIFFERENT' Alabama than I do! And I am so glad I have NO SISTERS,.....OR COUSINS (in close proximity), for that matter! Dang! Rob you're feeding the stereotype's an "ALLYOUCANSLAMAREDNECK BUFFET! Got to say though, that was funny! Except those...

Wow, just saw this, makes me feel good to know that all those missed Christmas`s away from my family AND the state's where there was NO Christmas to speak of, is appreciated! In the Marines, we got sent to some real CRAPholes, being away from family during the holidays sucked like nothing else...

Bank Beaver or the dam building variety, you should definitley see a ``slide``, on the banks going Into the water, BUT...hmm, if you`re not seeing any sign, the downed trees aren't always present, but if it is a Beaver, there should be a slide somewhere on the bank. Funny, when you said huge...
