Whelp I killed that knife. I got to heat treating it in a charcoal fire. Then tempered it. And went to finish grind with a trizact A45 belt. And it was doing great but I killed the hollow grind. I guess I couldn't pulit properly along the groove. Think looked like a diamond I tried to fix it but...

I'm going to build one based off of the plans out there. I guess it doesn't help if I can't remember the site. But for 50 bucks and an hour or so you can't beat it. I've etched with a tattoo power supply and a salt water soaked q tip. Along with using the laser printer stencils. Sent from my...

I definitely appreciate it guys. I've got to look at heat treating 1080 to see if I can do it. I need to go buy some half round files and a round one until I'm able to afford the small wheel attatchment. And I've got to order some fine grit belts too. Unfortunately this is slow season in the...

Well that's my no weld grinder. Welded hahaha . It was a fun project to put together. You can see they had no 4x4 in the scrap piles so I made it all out of 2x2 3/16 and 1.5 x1.5 3/16. . Its heavy as crap but it works great. I'm going to have the grizzly wheel bored and bearings put in there to...

Crap taptalk didn't send the pics through. Ill try again Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk

This is the first knife I've attempted to make. It is not heat treated or polished. The highest grit I used was 120 . I just wanted to give the new grinder a test run and also see what I'm going to be up against for a learning curve. It was easier and harder than I originally thought. I only...

Looks great man. I built mine but I welded it together. Very easy but rewarding build for sure! Did you build your platen or buy it? I haven't gotten to that point yet. I just have a 10 inch grizxly whhel on mine . I'm still workingnon tracking bugs too but nothing major Sent from my...
