As an addendum to the "Designs for newbies" thread I have the first 20 pictures of Lloyds drawings of drop point blades up. Once the other 4 pages are completed I'll put up the hunters. After that it will depend on what space is left of the 50 megs on the host site. to find them just cut and paste the link below into your browser. Cybamall is finicky and clicking on a link into it doesn't always work. I'll polish the pages as I have time, adding a nice background et al, maybe tabling the page so they don't string down so far but display several agross the page. For now there are 10 drawings on each of the first two pages, these can be clicked on to display a single pic for printing if you wish to do so.

Later on as others upload other portions of the CD it may be worth stickyign everything into a "Help for beginners" sticky with links to Heat treating info, metal infos and sources... stuff like that.

what may have been wrong my have been the fact I've been posting stuff up, pullign down the page, fudging new links through the pages, shifting links and all the rest of it while you were trying to look :P When I first posted the link I had 2 pages and the index up, now I have 5, and working on the 6th, while screwing with base folders :P

it's all plain HTML typed up in notepad :D

I'm not sure how the pop up's will go over from your site though..
"links to Heat treating info," is on the site also..
 
All the drop points have been up since last night. put a hit counter up this morning :P so tonight or tomorrow I'll be doing the Hunters.
 
Mr. Harding had a nice sense of proportion, IMO, and I find his designs pleasant to look at.:D
While I don't care for stub tangs, that's a personal thing, and easily changed in the making.:eek::)

Dan, if you want a browser for slow sites(like this one), and those with popups, try this.
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

That firefox browser made this place seem like I had broadband, and it won't allow popups, or spyware as it's not tied to your hard drive like IE is.:eek::D

Edited to add; No hijacking intended.:eek:
 
Kiwi Thank you for putting up some of the drawings. I saw your site had 90 visits so far.

I tried to upade the original thread yesterday. I have been having a problem for a week or so. When I reply I can't see my reply. Then a day or so later I see it. Or not. So I must be forgetting to zig when I should zag.

The cd contains 300 drawing pic and 100 photos and a web site that used to be on line. total 191 mb I think there should be something for all tastse. However many of the images were scanned rgb 1to1 so that they could be printed full size, there fore large file size. If you guys know how to thumb knail them perhaps they could be displayed and I could send / or one of the others kind enough to be hosting could send a full size to print out.

It is good to see some comment from other makers on preferences. Some of Lloyds drawings show thin or short tangs. They did go all the way (or at least more than 2 /3 through on the knife. Particularly when he made handles with multiple sections of different colour wood. I am glad that was pointed out for the newbies. There are also a number of full tang styles.
 
Kiwi and Wil thanks for putting the images on your sits . For those that do not know Wil HURLEY has put the hole cd on his site fo all to download.

Thank you again guys. I would be pleased to hear if any knives based on Lloyds designs are made. I am Making one for Hillbilly Chuck.
