Harbeer you gave up playing around a long time ago didn't you?;)
I would love to have space for a large mill like that. Ah, someday maybe.

haha, we used to park 2 cars in this garage :)
and I told my wife, everything I buy, I can back get what I paid for it.
I scored a pretty good deal on both items
The Burke Millrite is a perfect size, and a real mill at that
 
Ive Been getting a little bored with the simple "Maple burl Ironwood Walnut" routine of selling wood, so here are some of my latest experiments. When the quarter ends and I go home for summer ill do a WIP on how I make my bias cut Palm blocks

Wow! I love all of those blocks. Is that spalted maple burl?
 
Haha, yea but my John Deere makes short work of it:D.
Actually I can't take credit, the previous owners had a bunch of those little "crop circles" all over the yard. Sad to see them go;)
 
I had this blade laying around for years, written off because of some scratches it got during HT (stainless Niolox)
Still good enough to experiment with some etching.
I was positively surprised with the result!
Then a bit of improvised stonewashing (shaking a bottle infront of the TV) and out came this!
Now I'm serously considering finishing the blade and calling it a knife!

Lovely, and I'm certainly not envious of the time it must have taken to achieve that finish! lol I must be one of the laziest hand finishers, luckily I focus on 'rustic' finishes and deep forced patinas are my go to.

Lol. Same here. I can appreciate mirror finishes and it looks great on some, but I prefer knives that I wouldn't be afraid of using and getting scratches on. Mknife's blade looks amazing though.
