madcrow:
When making knives, i just wanted you to know that there is more than one way to skin a cat. He is the shop supervisor.
radius:
finally drew some knife outlines on an old blade. it's a 10 inch blade with only 24 teeth...came with the saw...basically brand new steel, since i replaced it with a decent blade immediately. Thanks madcrow...
radius:
well i cut one out today...took 2 of those little dremel wheels...my instructor (in carpentry) at the college requires us to bring in some chisels and plane irons to get practice on the grinders and stones...what'll he say when i bring in this knife???
radius:
here are the 3 blanks i cut out today. The rough edges have been filed off...now i just hope the school doesn't mind me using their equipment for this project!
radius:
Well, either they didn't mind or they just didn't care to say anything...the school's grinders are set at 25 degrees (for chisels and plane irons) and i think i need a much steeper edge than that...but i did grind them to shape and grind a rudimentary edge on them...then brought them home to polish them up a bit with the orbital sander...
enjoying it so far...next tool: a grinder!
