(i'm a little late on this) last sunday jack and his son stopped over for a visit. he brought over a few knives for me to check out that he made which were scandi grinds. he makes some nice knives too ;). after checking out his knives we went to the basement where i taught him a little more on using the paper wheels. i touched up the edge on k II since i have been working on the edge and showed him how well it slices.
i also showed him my belt sander which is perfect for someone who doesnt want to do a hollow grind. jack uses a 1" sander and i showed him how much easier it would be to do his scandi grinds on a 2" wide belt.
i also showed him how to start the grind on a knife using the disc sander. since we werent outside i couldnt actually do any grinding but i gave him the general idea. if he ever gets some free time on weekends this spring i hope to have him making knives on a disc sander too.

Sounds fun Richard, I like it when people that really want to learn and appreciate the craft come over to visit.
 
i like hands on teaching. its easier for me to show someone how to do something compared to typing out how to do it or telling them over the phone. plus i like watching the expression on someones face when they feel how sharp my knives are or see it slicing newspaper.
 
I plan to take Richard J up on his invitation soon as well. Let's hope for some warmer weather eh Rich? :D
