2-12-13 Pics - Working on the shop

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

I headed down to the hardware store this morning and got a lot of gear to hook up the compressor. It is getting close! One more trip tomorrow and I think it will be going. I even have to wire it! lol I was looking for the cord...




I have been working with the mill, things are going well! Check out the mess...

By the way I add a little bit of Moly-Dee to the coffee; mmmm spicy!

Here 's part of the compressor gear, it won't be hooked up exactly like this but I'm getting it close! That is a drop/valve to drain moisture, a moisture collector and regulator. I'm going to run some 3/4" pipe to this tomorrow and get the blaster going.

Check the saw blades on the right, I use those in a regular carpenters saw to cut steel. It is a cheap as it gets but works well.

The dashi is always used for opening stuff... it tore up those plastic packages everything comes in with precision and ease.

The Compressor! This thing is a beast!

The blasting cab!

No dumb questions here!

I'll be blasting off scale from new steel, post heat treat scale, most Titanium and probably gear to be stonewashed. Media blasting... with garnet actually. It is all new to me.

Crazy pic! It looks like a forge or something but is just a dark photo with the new floodlight installed.
