Nice shop, nice gear, awesome

Nice shop and layout

Awesome mate

Love the shop tour! I have the same Boyer Schultz surface grinder. I’m trying to do the belt conversion on it. Any chance you can do a in depth on how you did yours? Thanks for the videos brother.

That was a good tour, thanks!

All I've got to say is I'm very jealous. Lol

helluva shop!!! is that grinder in a box? mine consists of a home made 2x72 on a craftsman tool box that i roll outside when grinding and a pos harbor freight bench top drill press. lol

Nice shop Bob ,I look forward to your videos.

Joe thanks for the compliments. Hoping I get more comfortable in front of the camera. I have decided to sit out from Blade this year. I feel a lot of loyalty to those who have orders on my books and I want to focus on them. Have a great time at Blade!

Great video, thanks for sharing 👍 did moen discontinue their grinding jig?

Loved the tour of your shop... One can only dream, starting with the building it's all housed in!! I started engraving myself a while back, definitely one of the slowest learning curves I have ever attempted to tackle... Would love to come to one of your gatherings, bit of a road trip though... Thx for the sharing of your knowledge, looking forward to more of your videos...

Thanks Jay. I completely agree on the engraving. It's the drawing that really challenges me. Just have to chip away at it slowly, like any new skill.

JB, the Knives & Coffee get togethers are always good. They are the second Sunday of every month. Definitely a haul from the Killeen area though.

Would really love to talk knives , particularly folders with ya some day... Take Care, and keep up the great videos!!

Superb layout and a fantastic space to work in, nice methodical workflow too Would like to know where all the small red trays in the tool chest drawers came from ?

that drill index! nice! id love to see what your referring to about stacking the moen with gauge blocks in a quick vid why white vinegar with ferric? love to see your phosphor bronze shim punch set if ya get a chance favorite quote "heres where i assemble and disassemble my knives about 40-50 times before they go out" heh

Hah! People have no idea how many times a handmade folder gets assembled before it gets to them. The white vinegar with FC is for getting darker blacks in stainless Damascus. I started out doing a one second dip on Damasteel (after muriatic) on the advice of Todd Begg. It really improved the contrast. I just etched a Mike Norris stainless ladder blade today that went in a 50/50 mix of water and ferric for 15 minutes and then into the vinegar mix for about 10. It was cold in my shop so the etching was a little slow today. The blade came out great! I'll have the knife up on my Instagram in a couple days. Maybe try to show it in my next video as well. I'll add the shim punching and lapping to my list of topics. I've already got a plan to demonstrate my use of the Moen platen.
