I'm dreading it, but I do have a large evaporative cooler that is in the back where the shade is blowing through my shop, and in the summer, I open the front up even then it gets pretty warm. I appreciate you watching.

It's not a knife that I would want to drop that's the truth, it sure is pretty material though. I appreciate you watching.

Epoxy is a lot tougher than you give it credit for. Nearly all knives use the material in some capacity.

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.

Thanks! I appreciate you watching! I got several stacks of brand new leaf springs wholesale awhile back so I have been using them for quite awhile, I also purchase a lot of my steel like 1095 and 1084 from Pops knife supply, and Jantz Knife Supply.

Sorry about that, I need to do that and caulk underneath it, that should help. I appreciate you watching.

I'm hoping to have some ready for fall, but I have been considering making a few up before hand and posting them for sale. I appreciate you watching.

No problem! It is called a height gauge, you can find it at www.grizzly.com/products/igaging-0-6-digital-fractional-height-gauge/t21576 I use it to scribe a center line that helps me keep my edge straight as I grind in my bevels. I appreciate you watching.

I am currently not taking any custom orders at the moment, This knife style works well for skinning, This handle material would be fragile, I would go with something more robust for a working knife, like antler, wood, or G10. For a knife like this with an elk antler handle I charge 175 with a leather sheath. I appreciate you watching.

I just bought some regular long bolts, put a washer, then the buffing wheel, added another washer then the nuts. As for the rpm i'm not sure, I have a vfd on my milling machine but the readout display doesn't show up, I would think it is in the area of 2500-3000 rpm. I appreciate you watching.

@@Mysticmountainforge awesome!! Thanks for the info. Love your videos and how you hand hammer most stuff so I can see how you are moving the metal.

I'm glad you like it! I appreciate you watching.
