Now ain't this the cutest little thing you ever saw. I only left my Bader and a friends KMG alone for a few hours and this is the offspring.
It is a 1X10 belt sander. It has a dust collector (not mounted in the photos) is variable speed foot controlled and has belts from CZ to diamond.
The larger photo is my diamond setting bench.

Here are a few more knives. - Stacy

The D-guard bowie is my favorite knife. It was in a Blade article several years back. It has a mammoth handle, 1095/1050 damascus,sterling hardware with 18K gold overlay.The guard is engraved in a Spanish style. The unit disassembles into 9 pieces with two lock pins that are miniature copies of the bowie.One is at the pommel and the other is on the front of the D-guard. Joe Perry (Aerosmith) was interested in it a few years ago. The deal fell apart when his agent dropped the ball. I should hook back up with him again, but I don't really care if this knife sells or not.Price is $1800

The stag bowie is one of five I made for the 2005 Blade Show. I sold this one last fall at tha ABS hammer-in for $425.

The folder has presentation grade MOP handles, Eggerling damascus blade and bolsters,gold screws,1/3 carat sapphire thumb studs, and 1/8 carat diamonds set in the hanldes.The damascus spine and liners were fileworked in the form of a thunder bird, arrows, and a sun wheel.It sold for $1500.

The dagger has stainless crazy lace damascus, amboyina burl handle, mokume guard with MOP backer and butt cap. The makers mark is scrimswawn into the MOP just above the mokume (you can just see it in the photo).Price is $425.

The mini is a fukll katana forged from 1095. It is 75mm long and has everything a full katana has. The habaki, seppa,tsuba,and fucchi are gold. The tsuka is ebony and the tsuka-maki is in silk (knotted).The kashira and mekugi are ivory. The saya is same' and the fittings are gold.Price is $300.
