I've been making knives for 30 years or so and have never had a head spinner until I had one that I ordered show up yesterday. How are you using these things, by hand, drill press, etc? I've never used one or seen one used, but bought it mainly because I wanted to try one. Any suggestions...

I used some of it two days ago. I've never had a problem with it.

Looking good old timer!

Classy looking.

Nice!!!

If you'll let me know what kind of handle material you're looking for, wood, micarta, color, etc, I probably have some. No charge. Do you need Corby rivets for it? Let me know what you're looking for and send me your address and I'll get some out to you this week...

Andrew, I did scream like a girl and tried cussing, but it didn't help so I started crying. Crying didn't help much either, so I gave up and started working on the knife again.

Skunks have a new found respect in my book!!!

I found that crying my eyes out worked pretty good too.

There I was, minding my own business in the shop, working on a handle. It was almost ready to hit the buffer and all of a sudden it felt like somebody hit me in the back of the head with a club. I threw my hand back there and swatted a yellow jacket off my neck. It was my turn to deal out...

Congratulations

As far as I'm concerned that knife the man with no arms made is the finest knife I've ever seen. That is courage and determination of the first order. He has my respect.

I have it's twin and mine is a soft Arkansas, which I've had for many years.

Congratulations

There's no way I can get my shop to stay that clean. I can clean it from top to bottom, then just sit down and drink a cup of coffee and by the time I finish one cup it looks like they held war games in it.

I say go for it. It looks better than some of the so called art people buy these days. I saw a piece of "art" hanging on a wall the other day and I have no idea what it's supposed to be.

Guess not

Just hang in there. I don't remember where I saw it years ago, but there was a knifemaker with one arm, who made some pretty good looking knives. So if you want to make knives everybody will figure it out on their own on how to adapt a way to do it.
