  Very little difference. If you keep cutting then the cucumbers actually push each other off the blade and it doesn’t matter what the grind is.

• 
  @PrometheanBladeАй бұрын

  And then the round slices fall/roll in an uncontrolled fashion off the board or in the way of further cutting etc. One often needs to clear the blade…

  I'm jealous. I have a 150lb Ken Mankell anvil mountedon some 2x12x12 i toppedoff with 6" of particleboard for the anvilto sit on. Made this base over 25 years ago & still holding up like new. Love the ring when I'm working on it. Though i do put a weight on the horn when working for a long time on it. Please show more videos like this. I like to see how pros work to improve their shops.

  Sounds like a nice anvil you have. I’ve heard of Mankels but don’t think I’ve worked on one. Improving my shop is one of my favorite things to do- you can definitely expect more of this stuff. Thanks for the comment!

  Would it help if you welded a bottom onto it and then filled the entire pipe with oil soaked sand? I know it'd make it a real chore to move anywhere but I'd imagine you could have a guy swinging a 15lbs sledge as a striker and it wouldn't wander anywhere as well lol.

• 
  @PrometheanBlade3 ай бұрын

  Well, it doesn’t need ”help” with anything, the stand as is works how I need it to. I want to retain a little bit of mobility for the anvil, as my forging area is a little tight and scooting the anvil a bit can really help at times. The main thing is that doesn’t move when I don’t want it to- which it doesn’t.

  An anvil should be mounted on a large hardwood block.Why file sand before welding.I think your very new to metalworking and self taught.Shame no training

  Metal stands are very common for anvils and preferred by many smiths over a stump, myself included. You obviously haven't watched much of Salem if you think he's new to metalworking...

• 
  @Udeus53 ай бұрын

  If you had listened to the video with the sound on you would have heard why he sanded and filed before welding. Before you say someone is new at metal working you just might want to take a look at their body of work.

  Salem, at about 18.55 when you laying out "grip length" at 4" are you measuring from the heel/back of the blade to the widest point on the handle? and also, am I seeing it right that the angle break on the bottom of the handle is a bit forward of the break on the the top of the handle? This is good stuff man. I appreciate you going into this much detail.

  Ebony has so much natural density and oil, I can't imagine it absorbed any Cactus Juice. Stabilization wasn't needed. That blade looks nimble and slicey. Drop dead gorgeous.

• 
  @PrometheanBlade4 ай бұрын

  Thanks! Yeah I bought the wood from AZ Ironwood, who had it pro stabilized (not cactus juice). Ebony is a bit of a squirrelly wood… although it might not absorb much, any added peace of mind is welcome. Plus… B&W ebony is a bit different of an animal. Feels kind of almost rubbery to work with. I see it sold as stabilized pretty often, unlike gaboon ebony.

  Im curious how much life do you get out of the belt on the converted surface grinder? Are you able to get quite a few cuts since its doing minimal stock removal or do you have to replace often? Thanks for sharing Salem. Ive definitely got a bit of shop envy hahaha lol but its always fun seeing you use your toys. 👍

• 
  @PrometheanBlade4 ай бұрын

  Good question, it’s a bit tough to quantify but I get probably 2-3 hours of non stop billet grinding, 10 thou DOC with 120 thou step over, before they start really glazing up and not cutting well. That’s with 36 grit ceramic VSM xk885Y belts. Your mileage may vary.

  How much difference in pattern between the sizes is there actually?

  It’s kinda more about pattern resolution, amount of draw, blade width, number of bars. You want a big twisted bar for a single bar chef… or 6-10 bars for a Turkish pattern bowie etc. smaller bars with less draw also equals tighter more uniform pattern, for Turkish

  Is there a reason you wouldn’t just make the three end mill holes and then swap to the drill bit to make them deeper. Would save swapping them so often.

  Location. Less likely to have the bit wander from a slight misalignment from the original hole. It's of course possible to do a good job from your variation as well. I've done both.
